    Pumpkin and toasted pecan cinnamon swirl soft sandwich sourdough loaf

    This recipe was an absolute labor of love. It actually took me five attempts to perfect it. The first attempt didn’t have enough pumpkin flavor, so I decided to add a whole lot of cinnamon to the second attempt. Well, all that cinnamon backfired and caused the dough to have trouble fermenting. Then I tried…

    My First Cookbook Is Here

    One thing that has not changed is my love for baking. I still make it my mission to create low calorie, high protein meals and treats.

    How much protein should you be eating?

    Why in the world does everyone talk about protein so much? What does it mean for me?

  • What Does Strength Mean To You?

    What Does Strength Mean To You?

    What does strength mean to you?  Strength has so much more to do with than the size of your muscles. Strength for me comes from the inside. It’s a feeling, a presence. It’s how you present yourself to others. Raising two daughters is hard, but my goal is to teach them how to be strong…

Carbohydrates have a caloric…

    For The Love Of Lifting

    My mission for coaching is to change lives. I want you to see your endless potential. The world of health and fitness is flooded with information, and not all of it is good. Take a quick scroll through Instagram, and you’ll see ads for waist trainers and skinny teas. Every other account is telling you…
