I did a thing yesterday. I booked a plane ticket to Denver for my birthday! I turn a whopping 29 years young in May and it’s my last birthday before motherhood. I am going with my mom and two sisters and staying with my aunt and her family in Brighton. I have been to Colorado…
Entrees
Pear and Pomegranate Salad with Salmon and Lemon Vinaigrette
Happy love week! Today I am sharing the perfect meal to make for your sweetheart for a perfect date night in. Date night ins, especially on days like Valentine’s Day, are my absolutely favorite! No need to go out into the cold, wait for a table, wait even longer for your food and then have…
Protein Bowl with a Honey Mustard Sauce
This recipe is simple and delicious! Most nights I have a protein with roasted vegetables and a complex carbohydrate so why not throw them in a bowl with a delicious sauce! Actually, I got inspiration for this recipe a few weeks ago while I was in Phoenix. For lunch one of the days we stopped…
Crockpot Chicken Wild Rice Soup
It’s a gloomy Wednesday here in the midwest and everyone is prepping for a big snow storm tomorrow. I absolutely love snow because it gives you a bunch of things to do in the dreaded winter months. If there isn’t any snow, what the heck are you supposed to do? But, this is just my…
Open Faced Tuna Salad Sandwich
I saw this quote this morning and need to share it with you all because it is something I try and coach my clients on. The decent method you follow is better than the “perfect” one you quit. I myself used to be guilty of this. I would be 110 percent on point with my nutrition…
Pot Roast in the Instant Pot
I hope everyone had a great Christmas spending time with loved ones! The weekend was long, but of course flew by. A Shark vacuum cleaner was at the top of my Christmas list and luckily I got it because our vacuum cleaner crapped out a week before Christmas so we had dog hair in literally…
Sheet Pan Chicken Tenderloin Dinner
Is anything better than making a delicious meal for your family with the use of only one pan? I think not! One pan dinners have been my jam lately and that is because they are so quick, easy and have minimal clean up! I spend enough time in the kitchen washing dishes so if I…
Brussel Sprout and Cranberry Hash with Chicken
You know what the world could use more of? The world could use more happiness to those who are succeeding, following their passion, hustling after their goals and creating an amazing life for themselves. I hear and see it all too often. People get “annoyed” with other people’s happiness and success. But, why? There are…
Crockpot Beef Stew
If I could do a repeat of this weekend, I would! We had friends visiting us and we did all things fall. After starting Saturday off with a yoga class and wandering around the local farmers market, I made us all breakfast. I made loaded scrambled eggs with pumpkin spice protein pancakes and it was delightful! We…
Apple Baked Pork Chops
Are you sick of all my fall recipes yet? I hope not because I have even more fall inspired recipe ideas that I will be sharing on the blog soon. Just yesterday, the supplement company that I am partnered with released their seasonal shake flavor of Pumpkin Spice and I am so excited for pumpkin…
