A traditional Italian recipe from my mom, this one is always a winner. And it wins Super Bowls. I was rooting for the Chiefs in 2023 and made a pie with “Go Chiefs” as the fork piercings, and they won, so, evidence. Total time: 2 hours. Makes about 2 pies. Materials: 1 mixing bowl; measuring vessels;…
Honestly traditional rice krispie treats are alright. These are so much better. They’re complex taste-wise and energy-system wise, which is why I love them for during and post-workout snacks. They’re basically the crunchy version of my Date Cashew Power Bars. Let me know if you agree! If you decide to add some protein powder, you…
I call this chocolate twist recipe “babka-like” because it uses many of the same techniques, but it has less sugar and butter than a traditional brioche-based babka. This version personally leaves me feeling more fueled and less sluggish. Feel free to experiment with the filling and add a glaze if that’s your sort of thing!…

I really wanted a simple, quick bread recipe–one that I could decide in the morning that I wanted to bake bread and by afternoon actually be eating the bread (in other words, one that didn’t require me to wake up my sourdough starter that is usually dormant in the fridge). And voila! This is the…
These brownies lifted me up during a tough time right after I broke my foot and have a special place in my heart. This is a versatile recipe: change up the bean type, change up the chocolate type, the nut butter type, and have some fun! I love them with pinto beans and milk chocolate…
The week I first made this was a taper week for my first 50 mile race. It was so helpful for getting in some nutritious carbs that sure fueled an awesome race (check out the race report here)! I highly recommend Odlum’s Extra Coarse Wholemeal flour for this, but let me know if you try…
This is truly orange squash bread. It reminds me of Irish soda bread because of its texture and hearty flavor, or maybe because it goes well with almond butter. A true food for sustained fuel throughout a long run! If you’re looking for more of a sweet pumpkin quick bread, try this Pumpkin Bread with…
