    Carrot Cake Protein Muffins

    When breakfast tastes like dessert… I call that a win. These are quite possibly my favorite grab-and-go muffins that taste heavenly, require a minimum of ingredients, and give you a filling serving of protein, veggies, carbs, and an optional add in of healthy fats too. I am a sucker for carrot cake. When carrot cake is healthier? Even better. When I can have carrot cake for breakfast? I’m in love. As a mother, muffins that pack a protein punch with the addition of my favorite- Vegan Vanilla Shakeology (a powerhouse plant based superfood shake mix that we use as a go-to for baking and to blend into daily milkshakes) mean…

    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…

    Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

    I can’t get enough “holiday smell” in my house.  It’s an addiction.  I put away my pumpkin spice candle yesterday and busted out holiday spice and that cinnamon smell took over my house last night. It was heavenly.  We decorated the tree.  We hung our stockings.  We listened to Christmas music and all was complete.  Until I woke up this morning and missed that pumpkin smell.  So I fixed it.  Well, I fixed muffins.  And waffles.  With pumpkin and spices and warmth and honey and deliciousness. And they tasted amazing and are guilt free too! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins: Ingredients:  1 1/3 c brown rice flour 1/2 cup quick cook…

    Easy Egg Muffin Cups

    Breakfast is a disaster at our house.  One kid off to first grade. One momma off to nursing school. One daddy off to work, and sometimes two little kids off to daycare when Grandma’s not here.  I don’t have time to make 5 different breakfasts.  I don’t have time to make my own breakfast some days but it’s the most important meal of the day so I don’t allow myself to skip it.  This is where meal planning comes into play.  Because we try to eat clean, natural foods and avoid artificial ingredients at every opportunity, a fresh, healthy breakfast is important to us.  So a little time this morning…
