Texas Caviar- Clean and Simple
We all do it. We have a BBQ coming up. We swear we’re going to plan ahead, find some cute/healthy/fun recipe on Pinterest to make and an hour before we go it’s scramble mode to get it together!

We use this as a salad, a side, a dip for tortilla chips, and to top turkey burgers, burritos, tacos, and really anything! You can swap out several things but here’s a good base!…

Unicorn Bark!
It’s truly magical. That mom moment when you whip up a healthier snack for your kids and they actually like it. And eat it. Maybe it’s because I used the word unicorn. It seems that if you put the word unicorn in front of anything it creates a lot of hype. Or if you add just enough color and sprinkles. “Moommmmm… I don’t want broccoli for dinner.” “But it’s unicorn broccoli!” “YUUMMMMM!!! Can I have seconds?!” It’s that easy. Last night we whipped up this batch of yumminess. Protein packed, nothing artificial (except for the sprinkles!), and satisfies that sweet tooth- and made for a perfect…

21 Day Fix + 3 Day Refresh Results
Ahhhhhh! That’s a WRAP! 3 weeks of workouts in the bag, nutrition on point, and ready to finish packing these bags, board that airplane, and land on the beaches of Punta Cana tomorrow afternoon. Vacation mode: ON!!! Before this trip set out, I fell into the post- New Year’s goals already met so back to eating not as healthy and drinking a few too many glasses of wine here and there… I wanted to get to WORK on knocking out a round of one of my old favorites and program that started this journey for me over 2.5 years ago. I decided I’d take it back to the…

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas (Healthier version)
Some nights you just need a comfort food, soul feeding, delicious pan of creamy enchiladas. It’s been years since I made a pan of enchiladas and to say we were due was an understatement. As we embark on a 3 week- super healthy fitness & nutrition regimen in prep for our Punta Cana vacation on April 23rd, this was a healthier “last hoorah” as a pre-gift to ourselves for committing to hard work for 3 weeks. Keep in mind, when you lead a healthy lifestyle- you should indulge. You should have treat meals. And you shouldn’t restrict yourself- that’s no fun. Neither is dieting. Eat to live. Not the…

Me on Whole 30: What else can I cook that’s going to be amazing! THIS! This was my first time with cauliflower rice. I didn’t know what to expect.

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…
