Ever wonder what the heck you should be frying your eggs in, or basting your pork loins with? I’m sure most of you have heard us trainers talk about the benefits of olive oil, and although the stuff is amazing, tasty, and full of many health benefits, there is a great debate on the web as to whether or not the oil should be brought to high temperatures.
Who’s Who: Matt B.

So where do I start with Matt?
I guess with his most recent accomplishments. The man has made the board on two different WOD’s in the past few weeks, turning an 8:11 on “Helen” and knocking out 22 LEGIT rounds of “Cindy.” Also since joining level 2 a few months back he has continued to get stronger, in fact we worked heavy singles in back squat and Matt was putting up 230lbs. This is very impressive considering the fact he struggled with 165lbs in sets just a few months back.

Being dairy free AND indulging in the classic summer time treat...ICE CREAM, can be tricky! I’ve been playing around with making homemade coconut ice cream with just coconut milk and no other dairy products. The beauty is that the recipe is really quite simple, and the result is delicious and completely satisfies my craving! Check out my favorite recipe so far!

After a year, I posted a ‘before-and-after’ photo on Facebook as a tribute and ‘thank you’ to NorCal Strength & Conditioning and especially, to my trainer Natalie Taylor. An immediate string of comments followed (among my favorites, of course: ‘You are my inspiration’ and ‘Wow! You are amazing’) until I had to reply, “If only you could see the changes on the INSIDE!”
