Maple & Sage Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Since I started tracking my macros I have ground turkey for breakfast every single day. It always makes it into my morning meal in some form or another thanks to its high protein and low fat content. Plus I love how it easily picks up other flavors! One of the things I really missed after […]

15 Minute Chicken Caprese Pasta

I wasn’t sure if my grilled chicken caprese could get any better- but you guys. It did. We got a new puppy this week and holy. hell. I haven’t had a puppy in 10 years. I figured that I thought it was hard then because I hadn’t had a kid yet. This round should be […]

Healthy Parmesan Zucchini Discs

There’s not a lot to say here other than the fact that I’m spending every waking moment trying to figure out creative yet healthy ways to use the explosion of zucchini that’s currently coming out of the backyard. If you can put zucchini in it, I am. My current fave are these parmesan zucchini discs. […]

Chicken Verde Enchilada Casserole

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? I’m so sick of this “all or nothing” diet culture. That’s why no one can stick to any of these plans. Food is fuel. Yes. But it’s also meant to be enjoyed. I’m a massive fan of partially supplementing an unhealthy ingredient or recipe- […]

Grilled Caprese Chicken

Summer to me means tomatoes all day, every day. There’s nothing better than a fresh tomato IMO, and our growing season is so short out here in Colorado that I am obsessed with making sure I get my fill of ripe, juicy tomatoes however I can. This recipe is ridiculously easy but looks like it […]

Crawling in my Skin

It’s day 3,734,230. Right? I’ve officially lost track of time. Honestly I’ve had a good run. I lasted a lot longer than most due my practice run at this last year. Who would have guessed that there would be perks to my self imposed social distancing caused by how sick I was? I’ve trained for […]

Workin’ Momma Blues

It’s Monday morning. A chilly 28 degrees outside, and it’s been snowing and gloomy for days. Actually just a week- but that’s basically an eternity out here in Colorado for no sunshine. Maybe that’s why I’m feeling how I am today, but maybe it’s just a coincidence. This morning started like any other Monday morning. […]

Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowl (Paleo)

Is there anything better than just tossing everything in the Instant Pot and letting it do it’s thing? Before I went Paleo I used to make Damn Delicious’ 20 Minute Burrito Bowls ALL THE TIME. But now I can’t have rice, corn or beans. What’s a gal to do? Maker her own Paleo 20 Minute […]

Chicken and Broccoli Cauliflower Gnocchi Casserole (Paleo)

And the freezer cleanout continues! Isn’t it weird how some of my favorite recipe creations simply come up from needing to make something work with ingredients I already have? I bought some of the Trader Joe’s Cauliflower gnocchi about 9 months ago simply out of peer pressure. Everyone kept saying how awesome they were, and […]

Sausage, Chicken & Salmon Jambalaya (Paleo)

In preparation for my surgery in a few weeks, I did a massive freezer clean out. Almost all my meals for the week were planned around things that I found in there – including a random salmon filet. What’s a girl to do with a piece of small fish like this? Aha! Jambalaya! I’m also […]
