Summer Strawberry Protein Balls
Mama popped by yesterday with 10 pounds of fresh picked strawberries for me, and I will tell you that they are nothing like the ones you buy in a clamshell from Costco! These are so sweet, and fragile, and always remind me that it is summertime! I froze a bunch of them because they honestly […]
Chocolate Mocha Chia Parfait with Raspberries
Let me tell you two foods that I am absolutely jazzed about these days because of their ability to greatly increase your health quotient: broccoli sprouts and chia seeds!

Low Carb Tuna Melt

It’s as fancy pants as you can get. European tablecloth, vases of garden flowers, fresh roasted coffee in a French press, Mimosas, tiny salt and pepper shakers […]

I was put […]
Decadent Mocha Coconut Mousse
Ok now…a delicious, creamy mousse with no sugar or dairy – come on! This is really yummy. I will make mousse like this from now on because it’s so simple and so very delish! With a hand blender, blend the ingredients together, put in cute little cups and top with fruit, chocolate shavings or an […]
