Hello friends! Recently I had the great good fortune to receive a huge box of goodies from RealFood… a local store here in Alabang that opened a little over a year ago and specialises in healthy, locally-sourced, “real food” products. This store is such a wonderful addition to our grocery options here. Prior to their …
Hello friends! These easy oatmeal pancakes are just the thing to whip up on a Saturday morning… or any morning, really, with all these nourishing ingredients and a make-ahead option. You can feel good about eating them any (or every!) day of the week.
Hello friends! This beautiful green smoothie will refresh & replenish you, no matter how blistering it is outside. It’s getting hot, hot HOT here in Manila, although I see from my weather app that it’s still blessedly cool in some parts of the world. It’s not like we really have Spring here. It pretty much …
These little cinnamon oat energy bites will not only remind you of biting into a soft, chewy oatmeal cookie… but they’re also hugely portable, full of energising carbs and perfect for on-the-go snacks. This weekend we’re housing athletes from Taipei American School for the international track meet (IASAS- International Association for Southeast Asian Schools) that …

This sweet & sour chicken can be made with vegan “chicken” pieces or regular chicken breast…either way, it’s perfect for an easy weeknight meal! Howdy, friends… I realise it’s been forever since I’ve passed along a main meal recipe to you. I blame this on the hungry people in my house (myself included!)- just when …
Hello friends! The last time I showed you what I was eating, I was just a week or two away from my bodybuilding show, and definitely in the last phase of “cutting.” Although my calories never dropped very low (1800 was the lowest I ever went), I found myself often sleepy and out of energy …
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…
Hello friends! I feel kinda weird saying, “Happy New Year!” to you… but it has been that long since I’ve posted… so much for my NYR of posting more often. Sheesh. January’s been a rough month for me… I got a rib contusion as a result of a little trapezing fun just after New Year’s, …
