FFFFRRRRIIIIIDDDDAAAAYYYY!
I have no real reason to be overly excited about the weekend, Steve and I have no crazy plans or anything like that, but none the less I am excited to spend some quality time with my man.
Despite the fact that we work together each and everyday, it’s not like the time we spend together at the gym is personal time. He’s busy with clients and writing up his amazing programs while I’m busy running class, training people, or taking care of the fun accounting stuff that needs to get done around here. The weekend is when we get to just lounge and be a super cute couple.
I like to try and do something fun every weekend, even if it’s something simple. Tomorrow I think I’ll cook us up a special dinner, set the table up all fancy and enjoy a bottle of wine together. We’ve been together for over 7 years but I like to try and do little things whenever I can to show how much he means to me. It’s all about the little things.
Today is an exciting day for all of you because I have a new recipe to share for Kierston’s …
I didn’t think I had anything to share this week, but I actually just whipped these up this morning and thought I would pass the recipe along. Be sure to head over to Candy Fit after and check out some more recipes!
These took me absolutely no time to throw together and are the perfect take along snack! They are also super easy to customize to your liking. This morning I made double chocolate and coconut muffins!

Something to Think About…
I’ve been with my husband for over 13 years and we never stop doing special little things for each other. It keeps things fresh.
I love making protein muffins because they are so versatile.
I definitely think it is the little things that keep things interesting!
Awesome! They looks so good!
Thanks for linking up to RECIPEFRIDAY!

Great recipe! just wondering if you can use a microwave to make it so its quicker? If so how long for? Thanks Tam x
Hey there! Sorry I didn’t see this until now. You should be able to microwave it and it should take about 1-2min depending on your microwave. I’m posting a carb free microwave muffin next week too once I tweak it a bit!
Thanks! Look forward to reading about your microwave muffin! Hope it goes OK. Also, just want to say how much I love your blog posts, always nice to read for good advice. Tam x
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoy reading? Anything you’d like to see more of? I love reader feedback!
