Real recipe from foodnetwork.com. My fave comment on it: LocalBoyMakesGoo: “Tried this recipe last night. The bacon was great, but the paper towels tasted awful.” “2 cups dried, unsweetened coconut, 1/2 c almond flour, 1/4 c coconut butter, 1/4 c maple syrup, 1/8 tsp vanilla and sea salt. Mix, roll into balls, refrigerate.” It wasn’t …

Okay, so I have two book signings next week and just typing that makes me want to vomit. I can stand and speak in front of hundreds of people. I can do improv on a stage in front of a bunch of strangers. Heck, I can even workout in a pink sparkly leotard with sequined …
Running in heels may make you stylish (or insane) but they won’t make you faster. Two weeks ago found me feeling sorry for myself on Twitter, complaining about my slow-for-me mile time. When I asked for tips to run a faster mile I got a ton of good information. (And also a throw-down – Reader …

I suppose there are worse mistakes* to make…. Oh creatine, you confuse me so! I said it didn’t work. I thought it didn’t work. I don’t see a difference in either muscle size or definition. And then I got my body fat percentage measured and I am down 2% from last month. (And because I …
When a Gym Buddy sent this to me: I’ll admit my first reaction was to be a bit flattered. Even if they didn’t mean me in particular, all the ladies I work out with (and by that I mean pretty much every girl in the gym at the same time) are hawt mamas. But then, …
Pop quiz: what do stinging nettles, horseradish whips and burdock clubs all have in common? They may all sound like instruments of torture but actually they are foods my CSA (community supported agriculture) farm considers edible. I, on the other hand, consider them… instruments of torture.
