Do you ever not feel like eating after a hard workout? Well you know you need to, right? The first 30-60 minutes after a workout are your body’s prime window for refueling! But sometime the gut isn’t quite on board, so the idea of a meal or solid snack isn’t appetizing. Rather than missing out …
{Insert really long paragraph and personal story about “why tofu” and “omg this one time at this restaurant we had this aaaaah-mazing tofu and it made me want to recreate it…” Psych. Literally no one wants to read that stuff – you just want the recipe. See below, enjoy, and don’t forget to tag me …
Baby, it’s cold outside! Or, if you live in the South like I do, it’s “somewhat colder than normal” outside! Haha. Ok, for us Southerners (transplanted or otherwise – I swear your blood thins), anything below 60 degrees is cold. So today’s high of 38 definitely counts. I love this time of year, mostly because …
Running is one of my favorite activities. As in, I need to get one of those bumper stickers that reads “I’d rather be running.” Or maybe “My other car is a pair of running shoes.” They make those, right? If not, let’s earmark that for a side-project. Anyway, running makes me hungry, so having plenty of snacks around is …

Bonus: they take less than 30 minutes, start to finish. Honey is the only sweetener in these bad boys, and a solid dose of ground flaxseed gives them …
I started making pizza dough at home one day when the kids really wanted pizza for dinner and didn’t have anything frozen in the house. I found a basic recipe online that day, and we’ve pretty much had home-made pizza since. It’s cheaper, healthier, and everyone gets exactly what he wants. (Translation: no dinner-time whining. …
I love snacks, and I love convenience. What I don’t love is all of the processing that goes into the pre-packaged convenience snacks that are available on the market. But while my kids are dietitian’s kids and know that it’s important to fuel our bodies well, they are kids. Sometimes they just want something quick, easy, and sweet. These energy balls are …
I’ve probably tried every banana bread recipe on the internet. At least it feels that way. Most are too sweet, many are too dry, and some just don’t taste like anything. To me, banana bread should be healthy. It’s fruit and grain. How tough can that be? Well, the problem is it’s not super easy to …
Ever wonder how to boil the perfect egg? Sometimes they turn out exactly as planned, sometimes they crumble into a dry mess when you peel them. It took me years and lots of wasted effort to find a consistent way of boiling eggs, when really it is super simple. Add your raw eggs (no piercing the shell!) into …
