My personal trainer/certified nutritionist/metabolic technician husband loves to tell me how to live my life from HIS health perspective. He's truly a master at his craft, so of course I listen to him; however, it can be annoying at times. I think it's because I don't like being told what to do. Are you with me on this? As a chef/fitness instructor/small business owner/mom, I'm constantly on my feet and on the go! And because of this my husband constantly pressures me to e

I think that's why I like to mess around with dessert recipes because I don't like saying no to them, but I also don't like eating garbage! Right?? Anyways, here's another creation I came up with! Recipe inspiration for this super decadent easy clean-eating dessert recipe came from an

Ok, team! Most veggie ball/burger recipes I come across I really don't care for. They have A TON of ingredients, which is totally overwhelming, AND they just don't taste good! What do I do if I can't find a decent recipe for something I want? I create one (that's not the only reason I create recipes, but you know what I'm saying)! Not only is this recipe decent, it's delicious! I've also prepared a zesty, sassy, savory sauce that pairs perfectly with this meatless dish! You'r

Have you ever made muffins in a blender? If not you need to start because it makes gluten and grain-free baking much easier. Gluten is the binding agent that can either make pastries/bread soft or tough when over-mixed. Since we don’t use gluten in this recipe (or any of our recipes) we can easily throw the batter into the food processor and blend away.

Warm weather food is approaching and nothing makes me feel more nostalgic than a chicken salad recipe! I get goosebumps every time I take a bite of this familiar dish. Why is chicken salad so good? Seriously! Why do we love chicken salad? I love chicken salad because it's fresh, sweet, savory, cold, and creamy! And what makes this dish super creamy? MAYONNAISE! Confession, I love mayonnaise! I know it's not healthy, I won't even try to deny it. However, my mayonnaise intake
