About

Hi, I’m Remi.

I’m the one who refused to choose between deadlifts and dessert. LiftAndBake is where I post the recipes that survived my own kitchen — high-protein cakes, brownies, cookies, and no-bake treats that taste like the real thing. Not “pretty good for healthy.” Actually good.

Every recipe here is built around real food (cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, good protein powder) and tested until it’s something I’d serve to friends without warning them first.
