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…

How many times has it been for you? 3? 8? 15?

Perfect Autumn Secret Ingredient Chili
As soon as those leaves start falling, I’m busting out the crockpot and whipping up chili. But the same chili recipe sometimes gets old and even this chili lovin’ momma needs to switch it up. My kiddos are decent with eating veggies but I try to pack them in wherever I can. I added two cups finely minced spinach to this crockpot as well as 1/2 cup of pumpkin too. Everyone loved it. I was pleasantly surprised with the reaction- not that I thought they wouldn’t like it, but with the sneaky nutrients I packed in there, there were no complaints! Here’s the recipe! Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground turkey…
