4/15 Strawberry Chia Breakfast Smoothie Do you ever wake up craving a specific food? Today I was just craving strawberries. Always a good idea to listen to the body, so I made this tasty strawberry smoothie. Do you use chia seeds in your smoothies?

4/11 Raw Chocolate Protein Energy Bars New Chocolate Protein Energy Bars happened when I was playing around with an old recipe last night and they came out so great!

4/9 Chocolate Chip Raisin Cookie Pancakes (gluten free, dairy free, nut free) The inspiration to make today’s nut-free recipe came from my good friend Laura, who came out to visit me last week and help me decorate my new house!

Ever think about how much that bag weighs? Or how you can take advantage of it to sculpt some sweet biceps and triceps? 

3/14 Paleo-Friendly Dark Chocolate Nut Butter Cups Thank goodness I have neighbors and friends to help me eat these desserts! I got a wicked craving for Reese’s the other night – and it immediately made me want to make my own.

I started messing around with what became this insanely easy and delicious new dessert that you have to try…and I think my new neighbors are pretty stoked about it too :)
