Guest Blog Post From Trench Travel Expert Chelsie Coxford
Travelling while on a nutrition program can be challenging even for the best of us. There are only so many things you can cook prior to departing and limited alterations that can be made to restaurant meals. In light of this reoccurring issue, I asked one of my...
One Pot Chicken and Rice
This is an ankle socks moment. Trust me, it’s not what you think. I am a child of the nineties so if you can remember back that far (woah) you might recall those long socks we used to wear all the time reaching anywhere from two to five inches above your shoes. I was...
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
A week or so ago Neil and I went to Banff with two of our very good friends, and in terms of packing I forgot pretty much everything. Cinnabon had emergency surgery earlier in the week which left me 80% brain dead - a.k.a. I forgot our underwear and non-perishables...
Super Corny Cornbread Muffins
Would you believe that Neil has never had corn bread before? I think he tasted one little crumb at a restaurant once, but it was a crumb. And it was little. So when I decided to make chili for dinner the other night, I thought… what the heck. I’ll make corn bread too....
The Best Turkey Chili You’ll Ever Have
Yes I know it seems a bit of a stretch to state that this is in fact the best chili you’ll ever taste, but hey I guess I’m a little biased. I’ve been known to post this recipe on my Instagram and have had numerous requests for it, so I suppose it’s about time I...
Banana Chocolate Chunk-kin Loaf
In my opinion, pumpkin goes well in almost anything. From pancakes, to waffles, to muffins and bread. You don’t have to want a pumpkin taste to add pumpkin. It adds a very subtle flavor while working wonders on the texture. It is how I keep my recipes from drying out...
Apple Crisp Cookies
They say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", so hopefully these apple crisp cookies help remedy the 'man flu' pandemic that has broken into our home... Neil has been down and out with some horrific gut wrenching, energy zapping mysterious disease a.k.a. the man...
Second Trimester – Glutes and Back Training
The definition of an impediment is “an obstruction in doing something.” This made me laugh, because it is so literal right now with this growing bump! With such a large “impediment” to maneuver around (and protect with my life) – I have had to modify my exercises...

Cinnamon Bun Sweet Potato Cookies
Today in the Trench kitchen, we had left over yams coming out the wazoo. Last week I had a pregnancy phase where all I wanted to eat was yams, this week I am not into them at all - which leaves us with 10lb cooked yams aging rapidly in the refrigerator - awesome... I...
