Pin now, make later - healthier after school snack

Yoga Pose Paleo Cookies

September 3, 2015

My cousins are going back to school this week so I thought it'd be appropriate to make some healthy-ish snacks for them to have on hand in the afternoons. September is National Yoga Month, so when Yummi Yogi sent some cookie cutters to the office, we got right to work making Yoga Pose Paleo Cookies.

Panna cotta recipe with collagen proteins

June 15, 2015

Our girl Lauren, YBC's Marketing and Events Director, is back with a guest post. Today she's tackling a healthy dessert recipe of panna cotta with berries.

I hope this Monday finds you feeling relaxed and refreshed! Maybe refreshed enough to try your hand at baking this week?!

Orange Scones Recipe

June 3, 2015

As part of our partnership with Kohl's #MakeYourMove campaign, we have been focusing on doing more of the little things that make us happy. A few weeks ago, the lovely Hayley and Bill from Primal Palate sent us a copy of one of their cookbooks, Gather: The art of Paleo entertaining. It's a beautifully done cookbook that has creative recipes categorized by season. We over here at the YBC office love baked goods, but because I follow the GAPS diet (similar to Paleo), I rarely do any baking. Inspired by the book, Lauren took matters into her own hands and made Primal Palate's orange scones.

Pin it! Healthy breakfast banana bread bites

Peanut Butter Banana Bread Bites

August 13, 2014

I had been craving something sweet for ages, and I had some bananas on their last leg, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and whip up something since I finally learned how to use the oven at our new place (it's the little things, people!). Sometimes mistakes are blessings in disguise, because I had hoped for a cookie but they wound up being a bread-like consistency, which is awesome because who doesn't like banana bread?! Anyway, these little banana bread bites made for a great snack and hit the spot, so I thought I'd share the recipe here.

Homemade Strawberry Jello

July 1, 2014

After the delicious marshmallows I made a couple weeks ago, I wasn't really sure how else to use the gelatin powder I had purchased. I bought a two pound jar, so I had a ton to use! I had heard about putting a scoop in protein drinks and smoothies, but I couldn't think of a recipe I could use it in. One morning, Greg said, "Why don't you just make jello?" And so I did.

Homemade Marshmallows

June 17, 2014

Years ago in college, Thursday was better known as Thirsty Thursday, when we'd all head to the local watering hole where the drinks were cheap and the music was loud. Well, times have a-changed, and last Thursday found me sitting in my favorite pink pajamas at 10pm, whipping some gooey gelatin mixture (by hand, I might add) with a weird egg spatula because it was the closest thing I could find in our rental to a whisk. My arm just about fell off, but other than that, these came out incredible! I likely won't be making them often just due to the fact that they're nearly all honey, but they make for a quick snack after workouts and a good dessert.
