Hey all! Hope you had a great weekend
and are enjoying your long break! 
Today mister Coreycakes & I had a great #FitFluential chest/shoulder/tricep workout
where I, of course, took my GNC BCAA’s mixed with some green tea in my shaker bottle
before, during, & after my workout!
along with the addition of my GNC Glutamine
powder afterwards to promote muscle recovery!
speaking of muscles; the veins came out to play todayyy.
#PROOF
today was higher reps/lighter weight
which I liked switching it up because it’s important to keep your body guessing!
*definitely had my pre-workout meal of a RAINBOW!
courtesy of chef Corey! I knowwww; I’m spoiled.
but I promise I don’t MAKE him do this!
*My post workout meal was 1/2 a yam with cinnamon,
roasted broccoli, & egg whites with dill, spinach, & pepper!
As much as I LOVE my healthy fats,
I stuck with mainly carbs & protein
to refuel those muscles right after my work out!
I have to admit it’s pretty awesome
when I have time to make some decent #POWERMEALS
throughout the day during the weekend!
And it also helps when your boyfriend enjoys cooking
and we can collaborate on our #POWERMEALS in the kitchen!
Corey can cook a mean salmon with dill
so we paired that up with some roasted brocollini & asparagus
(350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes with coconut oil)
and some homegrown tomatoes from his house with some raw mushrooms!
There is nothing like a fresh homegrown tomato!!
Corey had some steak & veggies!
he’s currently 3 weeks out from his bodybuilding show
so I interviewed him last night for an upcoming VLOG!
we’re cool, I know.
Some other eats from the weekend;
*Tilapia “fried” in coconut oil on medium heat on the stove, raw peppers, & avocado!
*a huge #POWERBOWL of rainbow raw veggies, avocado, & salmon “fried” in coconut oil with dill!
I’m quite possibly obsessed with DILL on EVERYTHING – especially EGGS...
ohh would you look at that?!
EGGS + DILL = HEAVEN
Papacakes always made our eggs like this when we were little;
so I’ve always loved dill and DIPPY EGGS!
And what makes it even better???
DIPPY EGGS + DILL + TOAST!
Butttttt ever since I’ve cut out gluten for the last 2 years,
I haven’t eaten that much “bread” – even the gluten free kind.
but there are days where I want something to dip into my dippy eggs..
Enter the PALEO BREAD!
I saw it on Instagram the other day & decided to buy it.
#foodieproblems
I bought it from www.julianbakery.com
Now I have to tell you, the bread is good,
but it does take a long time because they bake it fresh and then ship it,
& it’s a little pricey but that’s what you’ll get when you order a quality bread!
So it won’t be an every week purchase for me
but I bought a few loaves to keep in the freezer!
*I was craving an egg sandwich;
which was a HUGE staple meal in our house growing up!
quick & easy & oh so good!
So on this POWERCAKES version of an egg sandwich I added
3 egg white & 1 egg omelet on some kalamata olives (my addiction)
some tomato, & some BABA-gaNOOCH thanks to my girl Felicia!
The next day I couldn't get enough to I had another POWER-EGG Sandwich
with toasted paleo bread, kale, baba-gaNOOCH, sundried tomatoes, & dippy eggs!
I ate these open faced with a side of organic dill pickles.
It’s safe to say I’m loving the sandwich combos
but of course I’ve come up with some good sweet ones as well
that I WILL be sharing! they deserve their own post.
And I’m also LOVING this baba-gaNOOCH recipe!
It’s basically a bean-less hummus made from Eggplants
with the addition of NUTRITIONAL YEAST!
another huge staple in my pantry!
You’ve got to try it out!!
What was your favorite POWERMEAL of this weekend!?
Do you eat bread? If so, what’s your favorite SANDWICH combo?

love me some babaganooch!!! i’m so glad you like it!
maybe i can make it on my own though hmm….
ive seen that bread before but was hesitant to buy it- i think you just convinced me
awesome eats as USUAL!
I’m dying to try that Paleo bread! I miss bread since going mostly Paleo and would love to have this as occasional treat!
Thanks so much for both the link on the ganooch and bread! I’m planning on trying out the paleo diet next week and I just discovered a place that sales that bread near my home. Also, I love hummus, so the ganooch will be a great substitute. I just need to figure out if nutritional yeast is an okay food on the paleo diet. Any idea?
I’m not sure if it’s considered paleo but I like to eat #powermeals that include the benefits of nutritional yeast – not to mention that it tastes GREAT! ;]
We buy Ezekiel bread and Wraps- the bread is only good toasted though! I like to have eggs and toast with the bread! The wraps are a lot better without being toasted!
I love the regular Julian breads & they have some great higher protein but I could not get into the paleo. I bought the coconut & thought it was pretty bad. I like to eat my bread dry except after a workout in the morn & I put some PB on it so.. to me, you have to definitely put something on the bread but this is just me. I also got a sample of the gluten free & felt the same way – not a fan. BUT for those that have not tried the regular ones – AMAZING!!!!
Great food as always!
what kind of green tea do you use? such a good idea.
I like using http://www.iherb.com/Twinings-Green-Tea-25-Tea-Bags-1-76-oz-50-g/43377 this brand from iherb.com!! You can use my coupon code XUG228 for a discount! <3
I have seen this bread before and have ALWAYS been curious!!!! I guess I am going to have to try a slice at some point, but it might be really weird for me because I haven’t eaten bread in ten years!! LOL
The bread is expensive and Ive heard several people complain that it got moldy during shipment. Do u know how to make it at home? The only coconut flour recipes Ive seen are loaded with eggs and pretty high fat and dense. Id love to make a low-fat version from scratch!
I was ready to coffee extract as fast as you know what these three exercises are essential to
do something about it, you often begin to help people burn fat, etc.
