Links I Love 6.0
Been a little uninspired lately when it comes to new recipes… so I thought I’d share some inspiring links! First up. Almond flour… the good vs. the bad. You decide. “I don’t think almond flour is a terrible flour. And I don’t think coconut is a better choice (not that I think you should avoid…

Eating for Recovery
Did a little post for my CrossFit gym this past week. Thought I’d share it with the world. Or just the five people who read this. So you say you’re competing in the CrossFit games, eh? It’s no wonder you’re completely juiced and can no longer see straight, let alone make it into the kitchen…
