This week we challenged our clients and ourselves to come up with the most creative recipe using butternut squash, our ingredient of the week. I decided to keep this recipe super simple and even used a combination of Butternut Squash pasta sauce and regular tomato marinara.

I LOVE pizza! And every once in a while I get a serious craving for it. I also love cooking and eating at home because I can control what goes into my meals. Sure, eating out is great every once in a while, but pizza is rarely loaded with the amount of protein and veggies I want it to be loaded with. So I figured, if I could just come up with a killer crust recipe, I’d be set.

I’ve come to realize… People take their chili very seriously. If you are a chili connoisseur, I apologize if this chili with beans offends you. But it makes my mouth and stomach extremely happy, so screw the rules!

Last week Krissy and I got together in Reno to create content for BIN and that always means time spent in the kitchen coming up with new recipes to share! While we were getting our grocery list ready for dinner we knew we had to add something sweet to the list for dessert. After some brainstorming, Krissy mentioned that she'd had this dessert in Iceland made with skyr, whipped cream, and jam. It sounded incredible (now have to plan a trip to Iceland to try this delicious treat) and it became the inspiration for our dessert. We made this two nights in a row, once with whipped cream and once with fat-free Cool Whip. The whipped cream version adds fat and reduces carbs so do what works best for you!

What’s my go-to protein source? Tofu! Tofu is packed with protein, it has several health benefits and it’s extremely versatile. Here is one of my favorite ways to make tofu. This recipe is also great for anyone who wants to incorporate a meatless Monday into their week!

I get asked a lot about pre and post-workout nutrition. Nutrient timing if you will. We understand the importance of it as athletes. Eating sufficient amounts of carbohydrates before and after we workout helps with our performance and recovery. Pre and post-workout foods certainly don't need to be complicated. Carbs, carbs carbs. Okay and some protein too. But our bodies need glycogen. And since I love to bake, I decided to work on a high carb, low-fat breakfast muffin that I could grab on my way to the gym either to eat in the car or save for right after my workout. Regardless of which snack you're needing, this one should do the job!
