I officially just finished half of my pregnancy! So I figured I would take this post to do some rapid fire questions about what’s happening in this second trimester, how the baby is doing, and what my life typically looks like these days. Yay! Lets’ begin. Baby. How’s he doing? We had our anatomy ultrasound at 19…

The Clean Slate Day 8
Day 8 was another mellow workout day. I joined in a hot yoga class in the morning and then walked to Ellie’s Table for a latte and some sunshine (its 80 degrees in Orange County!) After finally getting some good rest and recovery, I finally feel good enough to get back to the kettle bells…
Links I Love 3.0
Here are some of my weekly findings from the interwebs. The first thing I’ll share is from a friend. She sent me a .pdf document chock-full of great quotes, reminders, and inspirations. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not…

This week I’m going to introduce some supplements that you should think about incorporating into you daily routine. Chances are, you could use more of all the things I am about to mention. No, not…

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…
Almond Beef Bites
Inspired by a work recipe, I decided to try my hand at some nut covered meat snacks… sounds appetizing, right? Well, they are. They’re called Almond Beef Bites and they are an AMAZING on-the-go snack, SOOPer easy to make, and quite tasty. Don’t be freaked out by the ingredients. Mayo and almond?! Sounds wierd, I…
Seattle Style Short Ribs
Coffee. Wine. Beef. Oh good, I’ve got your attention! To those of you who are Mark Sisson followers, aka “Primal”, you will most certainly be interested in this dish. It’s called Seattle Style Short Ribs. Why Seattle-style you ask? My best guess is because it has coffee in it. But I don’t live in Seattle and…
Morning Gloomy Muffins
Living in the LA Basin, it is not often that I wake up to clouds and fog. But this weekend (my days off) it has been super gloomy out and it makes me: want to sleep want to bake want to be lazy want to pray for sun So, yesterday in my gloomy mood, I…
