Just a few of my favorite recipe hacks to get those high protein recipes tasting like the real thing! Enjoy! :)

WOW, sorry for the quietness on the blog lately! That's not normal. With work (speech therapist by day) starting back up, things have been a little crazy, but I've also been cranking out recipes non-stop which I'll be posting about as well as cut updates! And HERE is a video from my diet break in Hawaii -- every day was a high macro day and I even went over some (#YOLO), as I enjoyed the heck out of my time there! For those asking, I am still cutting, still hoping to compete but ultimately to remain healthy and happy is top priority! :)
