Fitness Food – Light Blackberry Shortcake

This light dessert, although not high in protein, is still a nice treat if you want something sweet after your dinner meal.  I made this dessert over a weekend my best friend was in town.  There is a trail that I do a lot of walking on and I noticed some blackberry bushes there this past fall.  So on Saturday morning, we decided to go for a walk and pick some blackberries.  We returned with a few pounds of fresh, ripe and juicy blackberries.  Our hands were purple, and we suffered some minor ailments from the thorns we encountered although our taste buds confirmed that it was well worth our effort.  So if you are looking for a light dessert to entertain with, this is a good call.

Welcome to the New Site

Hello, if you are a subscriber of my fitness food blog and landed here via my last update on www.fitnessfoodblog.com, welcome!

I have been spending a decent amount of my spare time getting this website ready to roll out some serious content.  This blog will, in time, be a resource for all aspects of fitness.  Anything that pertains to fitness, I plan to write about it.  I am eager to share what I have learned in my personal pursuit of a better body and a healthier lifestyle.

I plan to continue my updates with “fitness foods” that are typically high(er) in protein and/or lower calorie for the calorie counting fitness folk!

I am excited that I am finally able to post regularly, and I look forward to writing more often.  As far as scheduled posts go, I don’t really have a set schedule as of yet.  Over the next few months, I will be slowly moving over all of the old posts from the fitness food blog and re-posting them here, as well as adding new content regarding training, diet, and new recipes.

I also have a category labeled “everything else” which will be for random posts that may or may not totally contribute to health and fitness.
