Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Dip
Oh no. It’s Thanksgiving dinner IN THREE HOURS and you’re going to your in-laws and completely forgot that you needed to take something with you!

Protein pancakes were all the rage on social media when I first started my weight lifting journey about 7 years ago. Unfortunately, the ones I made always turned out rather disappointing (think: if you soaked cardboard in chocolate protein for a couple of hours and then heated it up), so I just stopped making them.

Welcome To My Blog!
This has been a long time coming let me tell ya! For so long I put off creating a legitimate blog because I was far too scared and not ready to commit to it. ALAS! Here I am, ready to take the plunge into the world of blogging. This summer for me is all about […]
