Meal Prep Monday
Constructing my plate It's May 11th and about 42 degrees outside. But in warmer news, I went to Cleveland last Thursday and saw my parents, brother, sister, brother in law, and JOE for the first time in weeks and weeks and weeks. One more time for the people in the back, I saw
Day in the Life
Quarantine Edition My days of running from one gym to the next are behind me. But even when that was the case, I had a routine each day and kept to pretty consistent eating habits. Now, with quarantine, the problem is not running from one thing to the next hoping to have
Spicy Roasted Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes
Meatless Monday Let me tell you a story. About that time my watch called me unproductive and I'm still mad at it. In case you didn't know, I'm a bit of a masochist who often indulges in awful self talk and feels the need to earn everything in her life. This means my
Maple Cinnamon CEREAL No Bake Bites
Cereal. Made. With. Healthy, keto-friendly CEREAL. Listen, cereal might be one of the best creations on the planet. We all love it. And if you don't you're lying. Find me the person who disagrees with me and I'll be sure to slap them in the face. As someone who used to polish off
Monday Link Love
Meal Prep edition How sick are you of cooking? That's a lot of you, I bet. Perhaps you're learning a thing or two about being in the kitchen. Whether that's how easy it is to put together a meal, or how annoying it is. Maybe it's adding yet another stress to
Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Fries
Oven baked We have a bit of a situation here. A charging situation. My laptop charger is quite beat up because I can't have nice things and only charges my computer when I get it in juuust the right place. So this morning, when my usual 6am time-to-fire-up-the-ol'-laptop came around, it was
Everything Bagel Paleo Bread
For Toast We've all been on the baking train lately. And by we I mean me. But the other day I was ready to experiment with something a bit different. With a savory quick bread, to be exact. One that reminded me of a bagel, and one I could use specifically for
Small Batch brownie bites
For Fridays I made an entire sheet pan of real, authentic, extra fudgy brownies last year using Ina Garten's recipe. Ina does not mess around or skimp on any ingredients. And we all know what Ina says goes. If you disagree you can leave. So naturally, when thinking about this recipe I
Simple Overnight Oats
In a peanut butter jar We're taking things easy today. A few ingredients or less easy. So easy that Jerry right now is passed out and snoring next to me. He snores. He's a one eyed cat and he snores. It's adorable. Sometimes when he's really out he'll drool, too. I mean come
Mexican Crockpot Chicken stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Quarantine Meal Monday Pantry: A lot of canned tomatoes. Onions, garlic, potatoes of all kinds, and a whole mess of spices. Freezer: Frozen chicken breasts and thighs. Refrigerator: A jalapeno. Bone broth. Leftover herbs. Here's what went down on Sunday. I did a play on this chipotle crockpot chicken recipe, switched up some things
Vanilla Protein Blondies
With extra sprinkles It's Friday. Fridays are for cookies. Or bars that taste like cookies. Or bars that taste like cookies but are made with almond butter, almond flour, and a couple scoops of vanilla protein powder. It's me, you guys. And I gotta ruin a perfectly good thing by making it paleo
Coffee Break
And a day of eats I had planned to post a lazy girl lentil recipe today. One made in the instant pot. Well. I did make lentils in my instant pot, however, Jerry's not thrilled with the end result. So we're going to table that and try again when I have
