Skinny Chicken Fajitas

Last week I was craving Mexican food so badly again. I almost caved, but I somehow managed to stay on track. It was a pivotal moment in my recent “diet” history as I’ve been having a hard time once the going gets tough. Then I sorta go into F-it mode and find every excuse in…

Skinny Chicken Enchiladas

Because Skinny Enchiladas! That’s what’s for dinner! I’ve been craving Mexican food, but after a day of eating maybe-not-so-healthy (family in town), I wanted something that would keep me on track. So Google to the rescue, and I found this lovely skinny chicken enchiladas recipe on Skinny Taste that I used as a base. I…

Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Buttercream

A couple of years ago I decided I wanted to make St. Patty’s Day cupcakes for my co-workers. I scoured the internet and found this wonderful recipe from The Urban Baker. As per usual, I followed the recipe the first time I made them and I’ve found that it needs no tweaks other than that…

Keto Chocolate and Peanut Butter Birthday Cake

So my husband’s birthday was last week and he’s been really sticking to his keto diet lately. I decided I wanted to spoil him and make his birthday as keto as I possibly could. So I made keto deep dish pizza (that will be a different post) and also a keto-ish birthday cake. It’s -ish…

Asian Turkey Meatballs

Pumpkin Spice Pronuts

It’s all things pumpkin spice season! I’m most definitely one of those white girls who goes hog wild for pumpkin spice. That and salted caramel are my kryptonite. So when I saw this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Pronuts, I was super happy! They came out nice and fluffy and are a great treat that won’t…

Pumpkin Spice Casein Cookies

Cookies. Because who doesn’t like cookies, right? And these have the added benefit of keeping your muscles from deteriorating overnight thanks to the casein. Because drinking casein is gross and I can’t stomach it. I got the recipe from the Facebook page for the Renaissance Periodization group. It’s super simple to make and even my…

Alton Brown’s Overnight Oats

So was browsing Facebook the other day and THIS jumped out at me! It sounded like the perfect post workout carb with some minor modifications. Alton Brown’s original recipe can be found on the Food Network site. I’m posting the macros for the original recipe for those interested. I made a double batch and split mine…
