About

It’s not every day that Craig Ballantyne asks you to bake him a birthday cake, so when he does you roll your sleeves up, pull out all of your best gluten-free baking techniques and head to the kitchen on a mission. A mission that results in mouthwatering Oreo Cake!!

For those of you who don’t know my buddy Craig…he’s the editor of Early to Rise, a contributing author to Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines, the creator of Turbulence Training, a certified personal trainer with all the best certifications and (most importantly to me) he’s the guy who really pushed me to start writing cookbooks.

He’s also the guy that created the unusual “6-Minute to Skinny” Secret. Craig has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight and look great over the last 15 years. When he discovers something new and exciting – I pay attention. You should too.

Without Craig’s encouragement I never would have written The Recipe Hacker cookbook, or my Fat Burning Meals program, or my Family Friendly Fat Burning Meals program. So for that I will always be grateful. And I will always bake him awesome, gluten-free birthday cakes
