{RECIPES}

By now you should know I love weightlifting, but I am also just generally passionate about health and fitness. To me, that includes what I eat!
Now, before you leave this page, listen up! I value the importance of eating healthy, but I also LOVE frozen yogurt (who doesn't), pizza (I'm Italian), and pretzels (lots and lots of pretzels).
You CAN have the best of both worlds.

That being said, three of my most favorite things to make are mugcakes

pancakes
and chocolate shakes!

Try out some of my recipes below. I promise they're DELICIOUS. ENJOY (nom nom nom).
