I know, I had you at "chocolate raspberry pancakes". If I didn't already entice you with that delicious combo, you need to seriously stop and think about your life choices. I mean it, because chocolate raspberry ANYTHING is freakin' amazing. Anyhow, one of my goals for 2017 is to share more recipes. Why? Well because people need help, they need to make better choices, and they always need pancake recipes right? After all, the point of this blog is to show people that living life as a fit and …

Delicious Daiya Berry Parfait Recipe
We all have our daily routines, that can get, well... boring. It's easy to get stuck in a rut when preparing meals or snacks. This is close to my heart as I'm currently on a clean eating kick, as I'm doing the 12 week transformation challenge with Gold's Gym. This stemmed from my 3 month hiatus away from lifting, and 3 months of indulging during Hawaii, Holidays and Florida. Excuses, excuses! Anyone, one thing that's apparent from my food tracking on MyFitnessPal is that I was overeating and …
The Green Smoothie : Breakfast of champions!
You have probably heard the old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While some people swear by intermittent fasting and skipping breakfast, personally I cannot do it. If I do not have something in belly by 9am I have zero energy. Plus simultaneously ravenous and nauseous all at the same time. In fact, I'm 85% certain I'm a hobbit! Given a chance I'd take second breakfast and elevensies. So to keep my body fueled through the morning craziness that is my everyday life, I …
Scrambled Tofu Recipe
Every time I make scrambled tofu and post pics on facebook and instagram I get messages asking how to make it. So today I figured it was time to share my recipe for scrambled tofu. This recipe is adapted from a Scrambled Tofu in the Follow Your Heart cookbook but I rarely stick to a recipe (ask Bob he'll tell you!). I go with what feels right, rather than weighing and measuring, and I tend to switch out ingredients depending on what I have on hand. Plus sometimes, recipes just seem way too …
Recipe: Chocolate Covered Brazil Nuts
Another Meatless Monday (insert fanfare) and another full day of eating, plus a recipe for chocolate covered brazil nuts. I've made a full vlog which is embedded and linked below but just to show you the most delicious food I ate Saturday it was this meal at Lotus Vegan: Chickn & Pancakes!!! Let me tell you it was freakin' awesome! Looks good right? Yep, vegan diets are so restrictive, lol! Bob had a chickn wrap and his was equally delicious. Their curry is good too (my favorite is the …
Recipe – Chipotle Style Burrito Bowl
BOOM! Hear that? That's the sound of shit getting done. Namely it's the sound of me uploading to YouTube, posting on social media and the blog, and generally getting my shit together. Nope hell didn't freeze over, I just decided to make motivating, inspiring and sharing a priority. So with that here is a "what I ate in a day" post (including a recipe for a burrito bowl a'la Chipotle) as a plant based or vegan athlete. Why share that? Because: I realized that people have no clue how to eat …
One Pot cooking: Chik’n Pasta
So I'm going to admit that I'm a lazy cook. I don't really measure anything, I see ingredient lists as suggestions, and I hate anything that takes longer than 30 minutes to prepare AND cook! So I'm making it a mission to become the queen of 30 minute meals, and if that 30 minutes is actually 5 minutes prep with 25 minutes cooking in a rice cooker where I don't have to 'baby' it, then Yay! One Pot Cooking: Chik'n Pasta This dish was born last Friday. I'd been at Gold's Gym and …
Morning Star Farms Spicy Indian Style Quinoa
It's Meatless Monday, so I hope you have plans for meatfree meals today. If not, no fear I'm here to save the day. Like a plant based superhero. Cast your mind back to July when I mentioned I had the Spicy Indian Veggie Burger from Morning Star farms in not one but TWO of the free meals we scored at Blogfest. Well since then I've been playing with the Morning Star Farms spicy indian burgers and made my own version I'm calling Spicy Indian Style Quinoa Spicy Indian Style Quinoa If you haven't …
