Spring is in the air and fresh flavors like cherry, lemon and mint are all I want to eat these days. Who’s with me?! Inspired by my desire for sunshine and a warm breeze, I decided to pull these flavors together and combine them in a protein-packed quinoa salad! This salad is hearty and filling …
Main Courses
Red Coconut Curry Shrimp (Whole30, Paleo)
The story on the creation of this drool-worthy dinner is pretty hilarious. When I was on Whole30, back in January/February, I purchased a number of things to craft Whole30-approved recipes, some of which I got around to using in the 30-day window and others which I did not. When I finished Whole30 I was excited …
Crunchy Asian Salad with Shredded Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
I’ve been on a crazy energy ball kick recently and I thought gee, I should probably share a recipe for something more savory. So here it is, cause you can’t eat energy balls for dinner every night. Well you can, but not recommended 😉 This salad is crisp, refreshing, nourishing and oh so simple, as …

5-Ingredient Coconut Curry Chicken Salad
I’ve had a recent obsession with my slow cooker… well… I guess if 6 months counts as recent 😉 It is one of the easiest and tastiest ways that I have found to meal prep meat for the week ahead, so I put it to use pretty much every weekend! This recipe spawned out of …
Herb & Brussels Sprout Egg Scramble with Goat Cheese
Fun fact of the day… did you know that brussels sprout is spelled with an “s” at the end of “brussel”?! You did?! Ok, well I guess I was living in the dark then, because I just found this out in the last year, and my whole world was rocked. Who knew I had been …

Slow Cooker Shredded Balsamic Chicken
I’ve recently been on a mad kick with shredded chicken made in the crockpot. It’s just so JUICY. It all started with the Slow Cooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken and I don’t foresee this kick stopping any time soon. I’ve come to the conclusion that slow-cooker meat is the easiest and tastiest way to make sure I …
Cocoa Collagen Protein Pancakes (Dairy and Gluten-Free, Paleo, 21DSD Approved)
I have been on a massive protein pancake kick while on this 21 Day Sugar Detox. Last week’s Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancake recipe did not include a green-tipped banana (which is approved on the program) and was rather made with a larger base of almond flour, but this girl is tryna get more carbs in her …

Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes (Paleo, Gluten, Dairy & Sugar Free, 21DSD Friendly)
PTO days call for early morning workouts and protein pancakes 🙂 Today is Day 6 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox and I’m hoping this weekend pushes me over the hump of feeling entirely back to myself. Not going to lie, this past week was an interesting adventure in lower-than-usual energy levels, mild headaches and …

Recipe Remix: Spaghetti & Meatballs
Dog tested. Friend approved. I had a girlfriend over for dinner last night and her reaction to this meal was, “This totally satisfies my craving for spaghetti. It’s so good!” Meanwhile, Maiya got a nice big scoop of the meat sauce and sat at our feet, gobbling it up out of her little “woof” bowl. …
Ginger Garlic Beef & Broccoli
Confession… I ate this nearly every day this week. Coconut aminos are life. Currently taking a momentary hiatus from asian stir fry, but given how good this is, I’m sure I’ll be back on the bandwagon in a few days 😉 Per my previous comment, you can probably tell that coconut aminos have become my …

Try saying the name of this recipe 10 times fast. Challenging, huh? Well good news… actually making this recipe isn’t too challenging 😉 These are the perfect healthy bites for your New Year’s Eve celebration or any holiday entertaining you have planned. Buffalo flavor is always a crowd pleaser, and with new year’s resolutions upon …
