Recipes

People often ask for recipes of the healthy dishes and desserts I make.  Well before I start attempting to constantly post links to all sorts of recipes I've found, let me share a few of the key websites I use to find my delectable dishes!

My Pinterest Boards

Yes, I use Pinterest religiously these days.  Cliche? Yes.  Does it work? Yes.  I've begun using it as my own personal on-line recipe book.  I have a couple of boards for general recipes, and a board called BodyBuilding Recipes that focuses on high-protein, low-carb dishes, both savory and sweet.  If you're looking to stay on a muscle-building, leaned-out diet, these posts and the boards they come from will be very helpful!

FoodGawker

If you haven't heard of FoodGawker before, welcome to my addiction.  It's not a health food website, but you can easily narrow down your search to find exactly what you're looking for.  Whether it's gluten-free, vegan, paleo, dairy-free, just search it and you're bound to find something up your alley!  This is also a great way to stumble upon what may become some of your own favorite foodie blogs!  Warning: the pictures on this site are drool-inducing - have napkins on hand before searching.

Desserts With Benefits

This blog is absolutely amazing.  If you're like me and have a nearly-insatiable sweet tooth, but feel like you have to constantly "deny" yourself the sweet goodies you love, have no fear!  This girl has taken some amazing desserts and turned them on their heads to create waistline-friendly versions.  You can even search by your specific needs/wants, such as gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, high protein, etc.  She does use alternative ingredients, so you may have to hit up the health food market of your grocery store to get some of the specifics, but I promise you it will be worth it!
