Peanut Butter Banana Almond Cookies

I wanted a little treat that wasn’t full of treat-like ingredients but also wasn’t as hearty as a muffin. I found these little cookie-type things, and love them. They’re more like a small, baby, thin, sweet pancake to me. I keep these circles of goodness in the freezer and pull them out when I know … Continue reading

Bananas are so versatile too; they add into a lot of recipes for great texture and flavor. Bananas also will cut out any nasty flavor in a smoothie, … Continue reading

The Concept 2 Rower: Damper Explored

What is a Damper Setting? That thing. That thing on the side of the rower’s fan. That thing on the side of the rower’s fan that moves up and down. What is it? That thing on the side of the rower’s fan that moves up and down is called the Damper. It controls how much … Continue reading

Almond Chocolate Coconut Bars

Just to warn you, your mind will be blown. These bars are amazing. They really truly are. I love them so much. They are just rich enough that you can be satisfied with a chunk and not feel like you want to eat the whole tray. They are healthy enough that you get some good … Continue reading

The Scale Says What?!

I know the number on the scale is not just a tender spot with women. I am sure of this because I share an office with men that are concerned about their figures. I believe that the guys (even the interns that use the training office a lot) are on the scale in the back … Continue reading
