Got muffin top?

Good morning, foodies! 

So last night (while I should have been studying) I decided to instead do some stress baking. Have you ever tried it? Works better than most things! After a long and tiring arms workout I decided I deserved a little carbo load. 

Today I did a simple circuit several times through: 

10 bicep curls

10 overhand curls

10 hammer curls

20 dips 

20 tricep pulls (with the cable machine) 

10 pull ups 

10 shoulder presses

In addition I did some abs and cardio, but we'll get more into that later. 

I badgered my lovely mother into giving me her recipe for cranberry orange muffins...MY FAVE. I think they turned out pretty moist and, quite frankly, freakin delicious. 

As you can see, me and my roommate already taste tested some of them...

YUM! 

I am constantly reminded how lucky I am to have had my mother teach me how to cook and bake at a very young age. She claims my baked goods are better than hers now.... which is probably not true but flattering either way. 

(She's also a selfie queen)

Who taught you to cook? Bake? Sparked your interest in health, or food in general? Be thankful. And be sure to thank THEM. There's nothing more precious than the relationships we share with loved ones!! Go and make a new one today. 

Until next time, xoxo
