simple recipes to last you through the week
Happy Monday, everyone! I want to share some healthy meals as a reminder to always stay meal-prepared, so you can nourish yourself properly no matter what gets in the way! Do any of you ever find yourself forgetting that you have ingredients or already prepped food in the fridge? That happens to me all the […]
In a mason jar! Lately, I’ve been using mason jars for everything — my morning coffee, growing herbs, diced fruits, yogurt parfaits, and now my cool salad lunches! This was especially convenient for the day I had during a rotation where I was on the road travelling from to site to site. I actually ate […]
I bought this cookies & creme protein powder from Muscle Milk recently and didn’t end up liking the way it tasted, even though I love cookies and cream. I decided to use it to make cottage cheese pancakes since I also had leftover cottage cheese. How convenient! The combination of flavors tasted great! Using cottage cheese sounded weird to […]
Grocery shopping for one is just as hard as shopping for 10! Writing out my meals for the week keeps me under budget and quantity, so food doesn’t get wasted. This is what I usually do before I head out to the market. 1. First, ponder what you would like to eat for the week. […]
Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s another great addition to my weekly meal preps. Quinoa is packed with sufficient carbs, substantial protein and even fiber. Can’t go wrong with adding herbed quinoa to your meals. It’s great when you get a little bored of the old brown rice or sweet potato routine to get your carbs in. […]
Happy Monday, everyone! This salmon quinoa pasta recipe was adapted from Spark People. I was looking for a pasta salad type of dish with the addition of salmon instead of tuna as I typically see it. Someone brought in a salmon quinoa pasta to work last year and I thought it was such a great […]
I love basil and basil pesto, especially! Basil pesto is such a versatile addition to any dish. The great thing about making basil pesto is that it isn’t uptight like the other recipes. All nuts and cheeses are accepted; you can easily whip up some pesto with substitutes if you don’t have pine nuts and romano […]
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ Happy MLK, everyone! Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most memorable heroic icons to me because of his humanitarianism and ability to influence positive thoughts in people. He didn’t wait for somebody else to make history; he took it upon himself […]
Here’s a simple, easy recipe to help incorporate more vegetables into your meals! The saying is “make half your plate veggies and fruits,” but occasionally you can double the vegetables (watery vegetables are best) if fruit doesn’t quite fit into your meal. Potatoes are considered the starch portion of the meal, so don’t confuse potatoes (and corn) […]
I don’t mean to brag but these herby, lean turkey meatballs smelled so good before they were even cooked. Ingredients: 1.5-2 lbs Jennie-o 93/7 lean ground turkey 1/2 onions, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced 3/4 cup chopped fresh basil 2 tsp oregano 1-2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp red chili […]
