These vegan salted caramel bars are so good they almost made me bust my macros!!! Hello friends! I’m now 2 days out from my upcoming bodybuilding competition, and today is my last day of carb and calorie depletion before refeeding tomorrow in final preparation for the show on Saturday.

No-bake Peanut Butter Fudge
Howdy folks! This no-bake peanut butter fudge is hands-down one of my “must-have-in-the-house-at-all-times” recipes, not only for contest prep, but for every single day of my life. I hope it will become one of yours as well. Remember my no-bake sweet potato brownies? Well, these are a close cousin…
Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Vegan “Buttercream” Frosting

Vegan Pecan Pie
I find it a bit ironic, don’t you, that I’m sharing this rich, decadent pecan pie with you immediately after announcing that I’m training for a bikini competition. I also find it ironic… or maybe masochistic is a better word… that I began this program immediately prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I didn’t really think about the timing …
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl
Hello friends, it’s pumpkin season! (At least it is in North America!) And actually, in Philippines, it’s pumpkin season all year long… Philippines has beautiful local pumpkins called kalabasa that are a bit softer and milder than “jack-o-lantern” pumpkins. I do everything with them, from roasting slices with cinnamon & curry powder, to cubing them …
Chocolate Chia Freezer Fudge
Some things are annoying, and beyond our control. For example: Traffic: in Manila we don’t say “traffic jams,” just “traffic,” and everyone just nods their head… People who say mean things… And blogs that break themselves even though you haven’t changed anything. Yes, #3 happened to me, and is still happening!! My recipe thingamajig just …
