Seriously a HUGE hit with the entire family. I think our son scarfed down like 5 the first night I made them! She has a whole bunch of variations off the base recipe but the one I made was the Almond Joy version. And it. is. delicious! Original recipe from Well Plated 3/4 cup old fashioned…

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…
Asian Turkey Meatballs
So we were watching My Kitchen Rules on Hulu the other night, and one of the competing couples made Asian Turkey Meatballs. It Sounded. So. Good. So I had to make them. I figured I had a vague idea of what should go in them but wasn’t sure about ratios etc. Trusty Google came to…
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…

Thai-Inspired Lettuce Wraps
I wanted to make something that would be really easy, quick, and would fit my macros on either a rest day or a lifting day. And filling. I get so hungry in the evenings, that I need something that’s going to fill my belly and sate my hunger while still allowing me to stay on…
Roasted Rosemary and Thyme Sweet Potatoes
So I needed something to take to a BBQ that wouldn’t cause me to totally go off my “diet.” Initially I wanted to bake summery cupcakes (because really, who doesn’t like cupcakes) but I knew that would lead to WAY too much temptation. Thus I opted to make something savory instead. Since the Comfort of…
Herb and Citrus Roasted Chicken
I came across this recipe when looking for the Italian Pasta Salad and it looked sooooo good that I just had to try it. This recipe is also from The Comfort of Cooking. While I made my husband’s with the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (as the original recipe calls for) but made mine with boneless,…
Italian Pasta Salad
We do a lot of potlucks at work, which is ironic because my section caters to the Department of Health. And let me tell you, while our food is scrumptious, it’s usually anything BUT healthy! Which is just fine by me, because I like to take these opportunities to bake treats and get them the…
