What I ate Wednesday, RP edition! For those of you who did not see my IG this past week, I began following Renaissance Periodization’s one on one nutrition programming in order to cut down to the 52k class for a USAPL meet in September and then stay below 120lbs for Strongman nationals in October. I am working… Continue reading RP Week 1 Check in/WIAW
I have been slacking in the kitchen lately. Does that ever happen to you? Sometimes you just don’t feel like cooking. I think its because it was so nice out last weekend, I wanted to spend every possible minute outside. I woke up extra early yesterday in order to make breakfast for the rest of the… Continue reading WIAW and Strong(wo)man Competition
Happy Spring everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the Easter/Passover festivities. We were quite busy in the kitchen getting ready for our Easter Sunday dinner. We bake a lot of traditional Italian dishes and breads, which are delicious, but quite an indulgence. Thank goodness we only make them once per year! In other news,… Continue reading Easter Festivities and Training Update
Is it Spring yet?! I don’t know where you all are right now, but I hope is somewhere warmer than New Jersey. This weather is for the birds, man.

I was beyond thrilled to hear that a new restaurant was coming to Farmingdale, especially one… Continue reading Harvest. A Restaurant Review
Hey guys!! I missed you! I know, I’m the one who hasn’t been around. The past few weeks have been quite busy. The BF’s ship pulled into port in San Diego last week, so that resulted in an impromptu trip out west 🙂 I love a good adventure, and I was excited to show him… Continue reading A recap of my weekend, the CF Games, lots of food pics
Does anybody else love when people post what they eat on their blogs? …Maybe I’m just nosey. Either way, I’ll be giving you a glimpse of what I have been eating this past week now that my first NPC Bikini Competition is over. **WARNING** for those of you who follow my blog for the clean/healthy recipes,… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday- Post Bikini Show Edition!
Kombucha: ancient immortal elixir, or trendy bacteria? I learned something about myself today. I love CrossFit, and I really like lifting… heck I even enjoy the occasional run; but the real reason I do these things is because I LOVE to eat. Doesn’t really matter what it is as long as I can shove it in my mouth… Continue reading Kombu-wha?
Hi Everyone! I have been getting a lot of questions about my diet and exercise lately, specifically: how do I get abs? (to which I respond, “by changing your diet”) and aren’t you hungry all of the time? – nope, not at all! I figured I’d share with you what I typically eat over the… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday… on Thursday
