Zesty Tuna Salad with a Nutritional Punch

Every once and awhile I love tuna salad. It’s something I don’t crave often, but when I do, I usually like it pretty basic. But moving into my new, adorable home a few blocks from the beach, I’ve been having so much fun trying new recipes and feeling 10x more inspired than usual. With that, …

Fall Dip

Pink ladies, grannies, McIntosh, OH MY! So many choices, so little time 😉 Apples and fall go together like peanut butter and jelly. Except I’m not a PB&J fan (blame it on the sweet and salty), so apples and peanut butter go together like wine and cheese. I love this snack because the prep takes …

Pumpkin Zucchini Lasagna

Hiiiiiiiii oh my gosh, has it been forever or has it been forever since I’ve posted a new recipe?! The last few months with looking for a new place to move into, then moving, then unpacking, led to awful eating habits and abandoning the kitchen almost completely for almost three months. Seriously – my body …

Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are probably one of my favorite ‘I’m-in-a-hurry-and-don’t-want-to-cook-but-need-to-eat” meals. I have a few other delish recipes here, but this one is brand new. My local grocery store sells a few steam able quinoa bags found in the freezer section, and boy oh boy, are they a lifesaver! I recently stumbled upon a Mediterranean bag …

Mom’s Pasta Salad

I got so excited when I saw pasta salad on TIU’s weekly meals this week because I LOVE pasta salad. But what I love even more is my mom’s. So when it comes to other recipes, I don’t even bat an eye at them because I’m “brand” loyal to my mama’s. It reminds me of summer, …

Toddler [and Whole Fam] Friendly French Toast

Feeding a toddler can be like playing eenie-meanie-miny-mo with a grab bag. One day they love something, the next day they’re throwing it at you. Luckily, breakfast foods have been a huge success in our household [knock on serious wood!] because Tanner seems to love eggs, clean muffins, pancakes, yogurt, and fresh fruit. So those …

Crockpot Tortilla Soup

My sister, Sarah, and I LOVE a good crock pot meal. And we’re also kinddddd of obsessed with Mexican food. Another meal making its debut to week 2 of the Ten Day Trim is our favorite – homemade, clean chicken tortilla soup. There’s nothing better than a crockpot meal when it comes to meal prep. …

Breakfast Snickerdoodle Cookies + Protein Frosting

Oh.My.Gosh. I think my life was changed this morning when I accidentally made my pancakes into “cookies” and threw together the most incredible “frosting” like, ever – with only 4 ingredients! Since saying goodbye to protein powders, I wanted to pack the protein punch into my breakfast this morning from whole foods I had lying …

Stuffed Peppers: Italian & Mexican Style

I LOVE stuffed peppers. My sister introduced them to me a few years ago, and I love how quick, easy, and how minimalistic their prep time is. I always see recipes for Mexican-style stuffed peppers, and love those because they are so delish and so easy, but I also love making them Italian-style! I know …

Clean Teriyaki Sauce

Last night I posted a salad recipe that included by slow cooker pork tenderloin. I’m kind of obsessed with my crock-pot, if you couldn’t tell from previous posts about it! I love that I can just throw everything in, and BOOM! In 4-8 hours something delicious is done without any maintenance. Self-proclaimed as a clean-ish …
