Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole
Some mornings call for breakfast casseroles. Today was one of those mornings. Typically on Sunday nights I pour a lot of time into meal prepping for the week, but last night I was drained, exhausted, and frankly I just didn’t feel like it. So after a long, somewhat rested night, I devoted 15 minutes of my morning to prepping breakfast for the week. It turned out as good as I imagined. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients: 3 medium/large sweet potatoes, diced 6 whole eggs + 6 egg whites 3 c chopped spinach 4 small sweet peppers, chopped 1/2 c cherry tomatoes, sliced 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp…

Superfood Chicken Chili (crockpot)
This soup came to fruition after looking through my fridge/pantry, deciding I needed to go grocery shopping, but with a barfy kid, feeling quarantined to the house, I decided I needed to use up what was left of my previous week’s meal prep/grocery trip first. Enter: Superfood Chicken Chili And let me tell you… this turned out so much better than I imagined! This could easily be done in an Instant Pot too- but I haven’t purchased mine yet! I hope you enjoy. Do me a solid… comment below what you thought of it! I’d love your feedback! Ingredients: 2-3 medium/large chicken breasts 3/4 c lentils, raw, washed 2…

Easy Egg All in One Breakfast Muffins
I’m embarking on a new program next week. To be honest, I’m pretty excited. A fitness and nutrition adventure that for the next 3 months (ish) is going to shape my mindset (and my butt, arms, and abs) and the way I think about nutrition into some pretty amazing results. I was pouring into the nutrition plan the other night and the idea of a preworkout meal is something as a bikini competitor I’m familiar with but with mom life and kid needs it doesn’t always happen. So as part of this nutrition plan I’ll be incorporating timed nutrition to fuel results and feed my muscles and metabolism the foods…

Garlic Butter Shrimp “Linguini” With Zoodles
That day-after-Christmas food hangover… you know the one. Too much cheese. Too many crackers. Pie up to your eyeballs. Potato casserole. Spiked egg nog. All of the goodies. Back on track today. With a fridge full of leftovers. I opened my fridge, overwhelmed with what was left, and just wanted something light & simple. So I grabbed the leftover shrimp from the shrimp cocktail. Some veggies from the veggie tray. The zucchini that never got roasted as planned, and some Parmesan cheese from the au gratin potatoes. 5 minutes later- a light, healthy lunch happened. And it happened to be delicious! Low carb. Light. Full of protein & veggies. Enjoy!…

Perfect Autumn Secret Ingredient Chili
As soon as those leaves start falling, I’m busting out the crockpot and whipping up chili. But the same chili recipe sometimes gets old and even this chili lovin’ momma needs to switch it up. My kiddos are decent with eating veggies but I try to pack them in wherever I can. I added two cups finely minced spinach to this crockpot as well as 1/2 cup of pumpkin too. Everyone loved it. I was pleasantly surprised with the reaction- not that I thought they wouldn’t like it, but with the sneaky nutrients I packed in there, there were no complaints! Here’s the recipe! Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground turkey…

Italian Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash- Low Carb
Oh sweet baby lord in heaven… I wish the internet had smell-o-vision… this might just be at the top of things I’ve whipped up that I could eat every day and never get tired of it. Autumn has set in and that means all things squash. I’m like Bubba Gump. Squash salad, squash pancakes, squash cheesecake, squash chili, stuffed squash. And as I was running out the door today to pick up a spaghetti squash for tonight’s dinner, I realized I needed to do something with it- so I tossed a few chicken breasts in the crockpot, added some marinara and tomatoes, seasonings, and finished it off looking like this…
