Food for Strength

With more than 70 recipes for breakfast, snacks, wholesome mains, desserts, and more, Food for Strength brings together two things that belong together: delicious food and the fuel that supports an active life.

From hearty meals like Pulled Pork Pineapple Bowls and Loaded Sweet Potatoes to sweet treats like Almond Croissant Cookies, Black Forest Cake, and High-Protein Cheesecake Jars, these recipes celebrate food in all its forms. Drawing on her background in engineering and experience in endurance sports, Steph shares how different foods support an active life, from carbohydrates that fuel training to protein that supports recovery. With practical training tips and meal-prep strategies throughout, Food for Strength makes it easier to understand what your body needs without overcomplicating the way you eat.

You don’t need rigid rules, complicated spreadsheets, or to give up dessert in the name of eating well. It’s about cooking food that feels good to make and even better to eat—food that fuels your movement, nourishes your soul, and still leaves room for dessert.
