    Iron Skillet Chicken- Oven Roasted

      Winner winner, Sunday chicken dinner.  Everyone needs their go-to Sunday dinner.  When the in-laws are coming over.  When you don’t want to prep in the kitchen all day.  When you can one-and-done it.  And this is my new go-to.  It’s aromatic.  It’s crispy.  It’s juicy.  It’s pure heaven. There’s something beautiful about roasting a whole chicken.  It makes for so many meals and bone broth too.  And there’s something even more beautiful about cooking it in an iron skillet.  Where the chicken cooks in those juices and soaks up every last ounce of flavor.  It roasts perfectly.  The skin crisps up.  The flavor is so good.  And the skillet…

    Roasted Veggies- Whole 30 Approved

      One thing about meal prepping is having easy sides to pick and choose from.  Those tend to be more time consuming than preparing an actual meal at times.  One of my favorite things to prep on a Sunday is a pan of roasted veggies that will carry us through for a couple meals.  I do this a couple times each week, and they always turn out amazing. Ingredients: 3 small/medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced 2 large zucchini, sliced and quartered 1-2  heads of broccoli*, rough chopped 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil Himalayan Sea Salt Cracked pepper Various herbs/seasonings (I use oregano, parsley, basil, typically) Directions:  Toss veggies/potatoes…

    Breakfast Quiche- Whole 30 Approved

    When I started Whole 30 I thought, how am I going to make it through on scrambled eggs and grilled chicken.  I need more variety in my life.  Around day 9 of eating mostly scrambled eggs, potatoes, and chicken I new I needed to spice things up or I was going to get bored.  And reach for the chips.  And I’m determined to get through these 30 days with no cheats.  Day 19 & going strong.   So I whipped up a yummy “breakfast” quiche, I say breakfast lightly because this has been my dinner twice this week, it’s so good.  Sweet potato crust, ground turkey, and plenty of veggies. …

    Busy Women Building a Business: Now Hiring Coaches

    I was never a person who set out to create some big grandiose plan. I’m simple. I love my family. I love taking care of others (hence my previous life as a bartender, then as a nurse). I was content. I just wanted to get in better shape. And find a balance between the wine and the leftover kids PBJ, handful of goldfish crackers, and my love for tacos. When I started to share a little bit about the struggles of a busy life, workouts, being a momma to 3 littles, and still taking time for myself, I found that I wanted to do something bigger. I started to want…

    Whole 30 Nachos- The Game Changer

      Halfway through Whole 30 and all I can think about is nachos.  And husband made a pizza for the girls.  And Bon Jovi is playing in my head…  “Woahhhh! We’re halfway there. Woahhh livin’ on a prayer…” Halfway.  Day 15.  But who’s counting.   Admittedly I do feel pretty great.  I’ve moved past the tired and sluggish stage into “Hell yeah I can do this!” It’s only 30 days, right?  We can do anything for 30 days.   But some days we just need nachos.  So I whipped these up and they totally did it for me.  The crunch.  The guac.  The ground “taco” turkey.  It was heaven.  …

    Embarking on the Whole 30 Journey… With Breakfast Hash

      Hello 2017!  Hello “New Year, New Me”. I vowed I wasn’t going to overhaul my life this year.  I wasn’t going to make a “big change”.  I like the ME that I am.  I don’t need a new “me”. So,  I decided that I was going to pick a few things to improve where I needed to and focus on having more fun.  Living a little bit more.  Take more trips. Love harder.  Laugh more.  Give my kids so many snuggles that by 2018 they were sick of me!  And be a really good wife.  You know, one that doesn’t complain about the trash not being taken out, because…
