Coconut Almond Chicken Patties

Coconut. What a delicious little gift from nature. I love coconut. I think it’s because I grew up with fresh coconut. In Ecuador, we could find fresh coconut at any small market, grocery store and fruit stand. Its funny, sometimes coconut seemed to find us. While vacationing at the beach, you could see natives pushing

Egg White Scramble

I am absolutely obsessed with this Egg White Scramble. It is so nourishing, so good for you, so delicious. Following a twelve-week trainer program and having to stick to a strict diet can be very challenging. Eating six to seven times a day is…well, difficult. Not because one has to eat a lot of food

Spicy Bison Burgers

These Spicy Bison Burgers are lean, flavorful and filling. As a good burger should be. Highly recommend. Bison. First time trying it ever. I was a bit intimidated by the name, not gonna lie. We never had bison at our dinner table in Ecuador. I probably never even knew people ate this animal now a

Pumpkin (Protein) Cakes

I just ordered an all Egg White Protein Powder from bodybuilding.com. I’ve ordered a bunch of stuff from their site before (including various types of protein), just never an all egg white protein powder. It felt like Christmas, yet again, when I received their lovely Bodybuilding.com white box in the mail. I decided to give

Excited to share these easy and tasty Salmon Parsley Patties with you guys today. Living in Boise Idaho I am limited to getting my hands on good fresh fish. Yes, we do get fresh river fish, but it sort of isn’t the same to me. I usually just end up buying frozen fish or canned

Cilantro Beef Burgers

These Cilantro Beef Burgers came to be because lately I’ve been really fond of protein. I think it’s because I highly appreciate all the healthy fats different meats have offered me on the last couple of weeks. When you’re working out ever day (high intensity workouts), working on marketing projects, and cleaning and cooking a

And for some reason, smell, sound, and taste seem to do the trick quite effectively.  These three seem to trigger some sort of chemical (or so I think) reaction in our brains that brings back perfectly clear memories in a matter of seconds…just
