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…

Well. 2017 started out strong. Nutrition was on point. Workout routine was stellar. Then life happened. Real world crept back in and even though I started strong, I’ve been pretty weak as of lately.

Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry – Whole 30 Approved
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.

Love the Skin You’re In: 30 Days to the Best Version of You
What does it take to live and love from a place of worthiness? How do we embrace imperfection? How do we cultivate what we need and let go of what’s holding us back? Owning our story can be difficult, but not as difficult as running from it. And often we fear we’re not worthy enough. I’ll be worthy if I lose 20 lbs. I’ll be worthy if I get that job. I’ll be worthy if I find the one. I’ll be worthy if I make x amount of money. I’ll be worthy if I look a certain way. I’ll be worthy if I have certain things. But how many of…

BLT Burger- Whole 30 Approved
Day 24 of Whole 30 and I still haven’t had bacon. Not that there’s anything against bacon. I just know how much of it I’ll eat. It’s shameful. We haven’t kept it in the house for a long time for that very reason. But with less than a week left, it’s time to indulge. And I wanted a burger. Something gourmet but not too fancy. I’m still in workout clothes anyway so you know, just fancy enough. So we grilled some amazing chicken burgers seasoned with rosemary on the grill. While those were grilling I roasted some fresh kale in the oven, seasoned with a dash…

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…
