  • Scenes from dinner tonight. I made my FAVORITE lemon pepper chicken and served it over a bed of this Coconut Lime Cauliflower Rice. UNREAL!!! Are you a fan of Cauliflower Rice? Admittedly I’m not...unless it’s cooked like this! So if you’re like me, you might wanna give this a try. I start with a bag of frozen grated cauliflower (I buy a few frozen bags at a time from @traderjoes so they’re always on hand) and sauté that up. Then I add in some full fat coconut milk, lime zest and juice, freshly chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper. Oh it’s just SO good! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
  • Clean lunch meat for the win! 🤗 Sometimes I struggle to keep ready-to-go protein in the fridge. Unless it’s leftover from dinner, I’m usually out of luck. But just recently I started chopping up a few slices of my favorite Applegate Oven Roasted Turkey and throwing it on the top of my salad. So easy, so delicious, so quick, and most importantly sustaining! Top it off with my Simple Dressing from the last post and you’ve got yourself a quick and easy clean lunch! 👏🏼
  • Never underestimate the power of a good homemade dressing! Tonight we took our Steak & Warm Veggie Kale Salad to the next level with this delicious, yet simple drizzle. With an emulsion blender, combine: 1T Apple Cider Vinegar + 1T Coconut Aminos + 1T Spicy Brown Mustard + 2T Light Tasting Olive Oil + s&p. This dressing is so versatile and easy to make for a bigger group or single serving. Simply combine ONE part of the first 3 ingredients + and TWO parts oil. Told ya, EASY!! And for those interested in the salad ingredients, I took about 3 cups of chopped kale and massaged it with the dressing. Then added shredded carrots and some warm sautéed veggies: zucchini, cremini mushroom, and red pepper. Finished it off with a perfectly grilled flank steak, a sprinkle of sunflower seeds, and more of that oh-so-yummy dressing!!! Homerun!
  • Most mornings I wake up exhausted (thank you 1 year old for waking up at 6:05am!) and all I want is to comfort myself with a big bowl of cereal or some ooey gooey syrupy waffles. But I’m always so happy when I put forth the extra effort to make a clean meal that will nourish me, body and mind. Day 21 over here and still going strong! 💪🏼 PS- I’ve fallen back in love with Hot Sauce after ditching my beloved ketchup and things are really starting to heat up around here. 🔥😉
  • Summer, won’t you stay forever!!! 🍉 Give me all the slow mornings, pool days, and endless slices of watermelon! Long live summer! 🙌🏼
