Making simple, easy meals. Life is complicated enough, why should our food be too?
Woke up this morning feeling sicker than hell – this is a very bad time to be getting sick. Who has time for that? Unfortunately after being awake for most of the night coughing I didn’t have the energy for the gym. It has been two weeks since I have lifted and I can feel… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi aka Heaven In a Bowl
Egg bake is such a great go-to breakfast and reheats really well. It takes little to no effort to make (seriously, so easy!) so it is perfect for throwing together the night before and then portioning in ready to go containers. I have been getting a lot of requests lately for my egg bake recipe. It… Continue reading My Morning Go-To: EGG BAKE!
I started off this kitchen adventure still angry at my eggs from yesterday. Because you don’t know why I was mad at eggs yesterday, let me fill you in. Have you ever planned to make deviled eggs and been so FREAKING excited to eat them that you can hardly wait while they hard boil? Well,… Continue reading Blueberry Protein Muffins
I'll be honest, I was never a huge dessert person. Don't get me wrong - there were certain times in my life (depending on my mood) that I could easily take down an entire package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, a whole carton of Oreos or a pint of Ben & Jerry's Karmelsutra. You know… Continue reading Vanilla Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
My blog has been so seriously neglected lately, I feel awful. Today I am recommitting myself to my blog! I just started Spring Semester and though I have only one class, it is seriously time consuming. I’m taking a composition class and get this – we have 4 different text books and 9 assignments due… Continue reading Paleo Sweet Potato Chili
Some people spend their Sunday Fundays at the bar. Maybe watching football while eating greasy, deep fried snacks. I spend mine preparing for the week ahead! (Though I won't lie - I would start every Sunday with a Bloody Mary if I could.) It isn't always easy, committing most of your Sunday to the kitchen.… Continue reading Sunday Funday
Every time you are in the kitchen, trying out new recipes - you learn something. And usually, the recipe isn't the only thing you learn. If you have read this blog before, you probably figured out that for me, generally at least 5 hours of my Sunday are spent in the kitchen. Man do my… Continue reading Life Lessons in Cooking {episode one}
So here we are, December 30th. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow marks the end of 2014. I am left reflecting on the good things, the bad things, and the many accomplishments and changes that I have experienced this year. But, that is a post for a different day (like January 1st – stay tuned!).… Continue reading Holiday highs and lows
This week has been a whirlwind. It is amazing how fast the week before Christmas flies by. I have only finished 50% of my shopping. Thankfully, we don't celebrate our family (with parents, siblings, etc) until New Year's so I still have some time AND I will benefit from the fantastic after Christmas sales. I… Continue reading Holiday Treats
Today started out at the gym, Sundays are leg days – deadlifting, squats, hamstring curls and leg extensions. This all seemed like a great idea at the time. Today, I deadlifted 150lbs (more than my body weight!) and squatted 65lbs. I felt great…. Until I got home and sat down! As much as I wanted… Continue reading Sunday Fun – MEAL PREP!
