Strawberry Protein Cheesecake

Strawberry Protein Cheesecake

My parents were coming home from vacation yesterday, so I thought it would be nice have a nice meal waiting for them- including dessert. They traveled to Vienna, Budapest, and Prague for the past ten days. My dad posted pictures of their trip everyday on […]

Cinnamon Swirl Cauliflower Pancakes

Cinnamon Swirl Cauliflower Pancakes

These are seriously unreal. I cannot preach enough about how moist, dense, and cake-like that cauliflower makes to your pancakes!! And no, you absolutely DO NOT taste the cauliflower. This recipe was originally posted by Kim, but since I’m not a good recipe-follower, I modified […]

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Protein Blondies

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Protein Blondies

My original Peanut Butter Protein Blondies are fabulous. But, I created the recipe before I ever tried Cellucor protein powder. So, I made an updated version using Cellucor’s Peanut Butter Marshmallow whey protein. Totally kicks the peanut butter flavor up a notch! Literally tastes like […]

Protein Fro-Yo: The Answer to Your Ice Cream Problems

Protein Fro-Yo: The Answer to Your Ice Cream Problems

When I was younger, my favorite dessert was ice cream. Mint chocolate chip ice cream. One of the best memories I have as a little girl is when my dad was home for what we called “family movie night” and he made his famous “specials”. […]

Vanilla Pancakes with Chocolate Cake Batter Filling

Vanilla Pancakes with Chocolate Cake Batter Filling

I really didn’t think these were going to come out that great, so I didn’t take the best pictures. After the first bite I pretty much devoured them. So, I have no other choice but to use the not-so-great pictures for this post. These came […]

Figgy Vanilla Protein Pancakes

Figgy Vanilla Protein Pancakes

I love figs. It’s very rare for my local grocery store to have FRESH figs, so I make sure I grab them when I see them! These pancakes came out amazingly delicious. The figs – like banana, applesauce, etc. – replace the fat in this […]

Shrimp, Artichoke, and Spinach “Risotto”

Shrimp, Artichoke, and Spinach “Risotto”

This morning I realized that it’s been a while since I explored my Italian roots in the kitchen. So today I made a really delicious risotto with riced cauliflower instead of rice. This dish helped me remember how much I love the combination of spinach, […]

Tahini Yogurt Sauce

Tahini Yogurt Sauce

This sauce is creamy, satisfying, and perfect on noodles, vegetables- anything really! I made this sauce to toss with shirataki noodles (see my previous post for a description of the noodles). I had some sauce leftover and tossed it with my Beyond Meat Chicken Strips, […]

Orange Creamsicle Protein Muffins

Orange Creamsicle Protein Muffins

This recipe has been one of my go-to’s for the past few weeks. I love breaking them up and adding them to my protein fro-yo! They are also delicious toasted up with some peanut butter. I love to make a batch in the beginning of […]

Almond Joy Protein Pancakes

Almond Joy Protein Pancakes

When I was little, my sisters and I would trade candy on Halloween. I always traded in my Almond Joy candy bars- I was more of a Butterfingers or Reese’s girl (love my peanut butter!!). I never liked the taste of coconut flakes, and the […]

Spiced Ginger Pear Protein Pancakes

Spiced Ginger Pear Protein Pancakes

Just made these this morning for some post-cardio fuel. I love doing fasted cardio first thing in the morning- I feel lighter and more energized when I don’t eat before because my belly isn’t busy digesting. Not everyone feels this way, but this is what […]

Very Banana Protein Bread

Very Banana Protein Bread

I ran out of my last batch of Orange Creamsicle Protein Muffins last night, so I was planning on making them for the third time in a row this afternoon (so yummy- recipe is in a previous post!). I love breaking up my muffins and […]
