Red Velvet Protein Brownies

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post with more depth than just a recipe. Today is the first time in about 3 weeks where I feel like I actually have the mental capacity to do that, and it’s the perfect opportunity to talk about two things that I haven’t done so well these past few weeks: managing stress and maintaining focus. AND, I have a new dessert recipe that is just the bomb. I got some new protein powder this week, caught the baking bug last night, and it resulted in delicious, decadent red velvet protein brownies. YUM.

Cor-Fetti Waffles + Meal Preppin’ for the Masses

I basically conquered my personal “Mt. Everest of Meal Prep” last weekend. You guys know I’m really diligent about prepping mine and Ryan’s food for the week every single weekend — it’s a ritual for me, and I have it down to an absolute science — so I decided to break out of my comfort zone and cook for a few more friends last weekend. I ended up meal prepping for 8 people all at one time on Sunday. Check out my cart at Costco:

And that was less than half of what I cooked. I still had to make an HEB run after Costco, and that cart was even more packed to the brim.
