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!…

Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I think we all know what’s important in life. Food that you can melt cheese on top of. Tonight, I wanted a dinner that was simple, flavorful, and didn’t require a lot of effort on my part. Granted this took almost an hour to cook, prep was about 10 minutes tops. And the melty cheese part, well that’s a bonus. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Please leave me a comment below of what you thought! Ingredients: 4 small- medium sweet potatoes 2 lbs chicken breasts, thawed Herbed chicken seasoning 1 bag frozen riced broccoli (or separately mince/pulse broccoli in food processor) 4 tbsp shredded cheddar…

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…

Bell Pepper Nachos- Low Carb
There comes a time in life where you must make a decision. Are you going to celebrate Taco Tuesday with amazing flavor and flair… or are you going to let it pass you by? For us, Taco Tuesday is a regular occurrence each week, and don’t get me wrong- we never get tired of tacos, but sometimes we like a little variety in what we eat every Tuesday. And occasionally we switch up our nutrition routine and do a little low-carb here and there depending on our goals and results we’re working toward. This week was one of those weeks. This gal could live on chips and salsa alone…

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…
