Holiday Recipes 2018

2018 – the year I was bit by the baking bug. I’ve always loved to bake, but this year, things came together. My friend Megan introduced me to King Arthur’s GF All Purpose Baking Flour and BOOM. Finally, recipes started behaving and tasting as they should! Thank you Megan and the King! You’re a huge inspiration 💗 Very happy to have found a gluten free flour that can be subbed measure for measure for regular flour. It really is a game changer. I can sub it for savory dishes or sweet treats and both turn out great!…

Top 10 Banded Glute Exercises

Here’s a video of my favorite glute exercises! I use the Glute Loop  from Bret Contreras. The band works double time on the glutes by creating more tension. Your glutes control hip extension, hip external rotation, and abduction. When you add a band to hip extension movements like the bridge, hip thrusts, bird dogs, etc., it adds resistance for external rotation and abduction too. This creates more tension in the glutes, leading to higher levels of activation. A little trick that gives you more bang for your buck! I always try to incorporate the band, unless I’m going…

Grass-fed Burger Patties

In light of our fully stocked deep freezer, I thought I’d share my grass-fed burger patty recipe! We just purchased a 1/4 of a cow from the Vegas Coop and the majority is ground beef. Which provides a lot of recipe options: meatballs, marinara, casseroles, shepherd’s pie, stir-fries, chilies, soups, and these burger patties! Grass-fed beef has a different cooking profile than grain-fed, feedlot beef. It’s leaner, so it cooks faster and dries out quickly. To remedy this, I add an egg yolk (sometimes two) and onion. The egg yolk adds fat and…
