Butternut Squash Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

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.

Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Barbecue Chicken Pizza

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.

Instant Pot Meal Prep

Instant Pot Meal Prep

My Instant Pot has quickly become one of my most revered kitchen tools in the last two years. Cooking flavorful food fast is never wrong in my book. Rice cooker? Done. Steamer? Done. Hard-boiled eggs that perfectly peel? Double done.

Chocolate Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip

Chocolate Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip

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!

Sweet Potato, Quinoa and Mixed Berry Muffins

Sweet Potato, Quinoa and Mixed Berry Muffins

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!
