Below you will find a great recipe that I discovered for those that are on a little bit of a budget or want to try baking something.  I always find it tough to eat something that is going to help me build my muscles and as I will always recommend the P90x protein bars I wanted to give an alternative.  The best days to eat these are when you do any body strengthening like P90x Ab Ripper, Chest & Back, Shoulders & Tri’s etc.  I have included a page dedicated to eating healthy meals and slowly adding recipes for people to try out.  I think back before I was a coach and always tried looking for something good to eat without sacrificing my calories.  I think my results turned out to be fantastic and eating right made me the most successful.  Some people contact me and tell me that they have only lost so many pounds and they want to know what there doing wrong.  The first thing I tell them is look into your diet and start writing everthing down.  After a week re-evaluate and change some things up because 9 times out of

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks at Godiva® to make it a romantic evening with your sweetie.  All you need is a microwave (or a double boiler), some dark chocolate (70% to 85% cacao solids), some strawberries, and some love. And if there’s a better way to show your love than with these two great sources of antioxidants, I’d like to hear it. In fact, if you’re single, this is a much better way to love yourself than with that pint of Ben and Jerry’s®

• 1 dark chocolate bar (3 oz.), 70% to 85% cacao solids(Not Cheap but worth it)
• 1 pint large strawberries (about a dozen)

Microwave chocolate in microwave-safe bowl, or melt in double boiler on stove.  Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate to lightly coat. Set aside on plate or wax paper to cool.  When chocolate has hardened, serve (or if you can’t wait, dip and eat, and call it chocolate fondue!).  Serves 2.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
