This year has had a lot going on for our family, all blessings. Life doesn’t slow down. We celebrated our daughter’s first birthday in February and then found out we were expecting our second child just a few days later. All while I am still trying to advance in my career. The blog seems to be on the back burner but I still put great recipes…
If you’ve been around for awhile, you know that quick and easy meals are my favorite. Especially with a little one, sometimes I can’t spend hours in the kitchen. We just got back from a 2.5 week trip to visit our families and the first thing I did was make these bowls for lunches. The beauty of this recipe is that you can throw the…
This recipe was an all time favorite years ago. We made it so often that I memorized the ingredients and could make it on a whim. Fast forward, I lost the recipe for a few years, but it’s making a come back. I want you to trust me in this process because the barbecue sauce makes the food combo seem weird. But somehow it all works together for…
My husband and I welcomed our first daughter early February. Needless to say, we’ve been busy and thinking about what to eat normally comes last. Especially being across the country from our family, we knew it would get hard as we don’t have anyone to drop off a meal. We didn’t want to go out all the time and didn’t want to…
Life has not slowed down for us lately but these burritos are amazing for those busy mornings. We have been waking up at 4:15am every morning to either workout or walk our dogs before work. We don’t have enough time to make breakfast every morning other than grab something quick like yogurt, english muffin, or these burritos. These are very simple to make on the weekend or…
These muffins are so soft and good, I have had them multiple mornings this week. This recipe is a slight change up on the chocolate chip muffins. We are going to add a little more protein in the equation, a cinnamon crumble, and sweet blueberries. Muffins are one of my absolute favorite things to make, I can enjoy then throughout the whole week for breakfast. Serving size of 12. Ingredients…
The goal with these bars was to maximize protein intake without compromising good taste. I am that person that cannot drink a protein shake in order to meet my macros for the day. These are such an easy one pan dish to make on the weekend and to enjoy during the week! Serving size of 8 bars. Ingredients 1 Medium Ripe Banana 3/4 Cup Milk of Choice 1/2…
Every weekend, Jared and I work through what meals we’d like to have and then grab what we need at the grocery store. This is simply my process on how we go about meals for the week and what keeps us on track. A good portion of our meals are planned from what we have in the freezer. Rather than what we would prefer to eat. If we…
There’s a big factor in why this recipe is on our bi-weekly menu, it’s light on the stomach and easy to make. I’m sure you’re seeing a pattern in a lot of my recipes. I love easy and quick meals that don’t make a lot of dishes. This recipe is definitely following the pattern. With rice bowls you have…
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I didn’t want to meal prep for 3 days of the week. I didn’t have time to do it this weekend, and I didn’t want to make the kitchen a mess before the holiday. Meal prepping has been a vital key for Jared and I’s lifestyle change. Our health would not be in the position we’re…
These muffins are super delicious, easy to make, and are low calorie with high protein. We made these muffins over the weekend to help jump start our week at work. Meal prepping is big in our household, and these muffins made breakfast prep easy. This recipe is going to make 12 muffins! For the two of us for the week I doubled the recipe. Just make sure to store them…
They key for me to have a successful week is meal prepping my lunches. I can eat the same lunch everyday, but not every week. This was the first time we make Philly Cheesesteaks to meal prep and they held up really well! Feel free to add mushrooms or other veggies to this lunch! I didn’t eat a side with this meal, but potatoes would be an easy…
