I must confess, I am obsessed. When I first attempted to recreate my paleo turkey meatballs into burgers, I had no idea how good they would be. Admittedly, I cannot stop making them…no shame ;). Before I truly learned about nutrition and started cooking on my own, we would head to our local grocer and pick…
Chicken Sausage and Veggie Soup
♥ Sick days are no fun, but they always make me crave the care I received as a child — which mainly consisted of soup, soda (for upset stomach), tea, and crackers! These days, that looks a lot more like soup, Spindrift (or kombucha) and gluten free Simple Mills crackers. Whichever you fancy, this homestyle…
Paleo Turkey Meatballs
I know how tricky it can be to switch up your proteins, especially if you’re mainly plant based, and eating only lean meats like chicken, fish and turkey, so I hope this provides some variety for you! I’ll actually use the meatballs in my salads, with a sauté, or more traditional with zoodles or spaghetti…
Arugula Quinoa Salad
Because of our love and attachment to Harlow, Jacob and I have been dining in much more than dining out lately. After work on Friday, we don’t want to leave the house, but we still want to feel relieved from all the stress of creating our own meal with the limited groceries leftover in the…
Coffee Steel Cut Oats
To me, weekend mornings are slow mornings, and slow mornings always have me craving oats. While I’m always down to make fast and dirty protein oats in the microwave, oats over the stove just have such a special home cooked feeling. And truthfully, they’re just as simple to make. If you’re like me, you love…
Cocoa Buzz Bites
High in protein, caffeine, and everything in-between, these Cocoa Buzz Bites are the perfect on-the-go treat! With the combination of collagen, protein, raw cacao powder, cashew butter, nuts and other superfoods, plus a crunchy exterior, its a jam-packed bite to satisfy every need. I for one, am obsessed! Some modifications are available, as necessary, just make sure…
Paleo Pesto Pizza
I’ve been encountering a lot of pizza cravings lately, and while I think it’s important to enjoy what your body is craving, I know that my body would not feel well after eating the cheesy goodness. With that said, I wanted to craft a healthier version of the real thing, one that wouldn’t upset my…
Pumpkin Spice Latte Protein Smoothie
As soon as it dropped about 10 degrees in Chicago, I was ready for all things fall. I know many can agree with me that there’s nothing better than warm spices, pecans, pumpkin, warm lattes, sweaters and boots this time of year. With that said, I wanted to craft a smoothie that made taste buds…
Healthy Garlic Shrimp and Veggie Pasta
I was working home on a Friday and was truly stumped. Friday lunches are typically an “everything but the kitchen sink” combo of meal prepped veggies and protein, thrown in some sort of salad or quinoa bowl. This particular Friday, I thought my options were limited, and searched on every healthy delivery service available, but…
Bun Undone Summer Chicken Salad
In the summer time, I am constantly craving something fresh, light, easy, and often times, cold. After a PM workout or a long day of work, sometimes the microwave even seems like a hassle. Recently, I’ve had a serious craving for chicken salad, but not just any chicken salad. I wanted to create my own,…
