I have a confession. I never really explored all the cool things you can do with an Instant Pot until I was stuck at home thanks to a global pandemic. I liked my instant pot when I was in the office full time, but I never loved it like so many people do. But you … Continue reading Bang Bang Chicken Bowls →

My tuna intake went from 0 to 60 when I started tracking my macros. I never realized how canned tuna is such a solid go to. It's got loads of protein, is low in fat and packed with essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin A, B6 and B12. Plus it's totally … Continue reading Protein Packed Tuna Salad →

Packed with color and flavor and done before you can say, "I can't wait to eat this!" I feel like pork doesn't get enough credit. It's delicious and you can usually find great sale deals. More often than not, our local supermarket runs "buy one get one" deals on a pack of pork chops and … Continue reading Tropical Pineapple & Red Onion Pork Chops →

If I can get all my food groups into one … Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Wraps →

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 … Continue reading Caprese Chicken →

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- … Continue reading Chicken Verde Enchilada Casserole →

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 … Continue reading Maple & Sage Breakfast Sausage →
