Howdy!
Here’s the truth…I am not naturally fit or thin and I don’t naturally reach for vegetables. I am not a chef, but I’m good at assembling ingredients. I put in the work. I believe in feeling and looking my best — but not compromising! Here you will find good ingredients (think clean comfort food), real wellness, made fun! Let’s LIVE WELL!
(Progress, not perfection, baby)
Latest and Greatest!
Southwest Salmon Cakes
These Blue Harbor Salmon patties are literally a showstopper – they are some of my BEST WORK EVER! They are perfect for real prep and a different take on your regular protein! Did I mention it’s canned salmon?
Chicken Thigh, Cabbage & Mushroom Lettuce Cups
This were an accidental success — like most of my recipes. I needed to clear out some veg, had some chicken thighs defrosted, and always have yummy herbs and pickled onions on hand. These can be served as lettuce cups, or as a bowl and are GREAT for meal prep
Tuna “Butter” Board
Move on over butter board – make room for the TUNA BOARD! High protein, creamy, delicious, and a quick, easy snack for entertaining – or just eating!
CURRY TUNA LETTUCE CUPS
These are a lean, protein-packed machine of a lunch (or dinner)! They travel well and taste delicious! Make them ahead for some easy meal prep also!
Thanksgiving Salad
— because every bite is like a bite of Thanksgiving dinner. Cancel the whole thing. Let’s just have this salad except for stuffing. We need stuffing.
Burger Bowls
BURGER BOWLS BUT MAKE THEM POWERFUL ? ? Move over fast-food burgers, these burger bowls are filled with amazing ingredients without the guilt. So freaking delish.
Blackened Veggie Taco Bowls
The only instruction is to roast your favorite veggies + black beans in my blackening spice mix (recipe on my website) — the black beans get yummy and crispy, and with warm rice and crisp fresh veggies, this bowl is a winner. Oh, and I use the primal kitchen buffalo sauce + my everyday dressing. DIG IN.
The Junie Salad
Named after its mother restaurant, Junes All Day in Austin, TX! 6 ingredients. Minimal prep or anything required. Just assembling good ingredients, and voila.
Ombre Citrus Salad
You can use any citrus for this, but the mix of navel orange, blood orange, and grapefruit keeps every bite exciting. Sprinkled with thinly sliced fennel, pistachios, and fresh dill, + my EVERYDAY DRESSING — this salad will cut the heavy feeling from the holidays.
GET TO KNOW: COLLAGEN
I make it my biz to break down popular ingredients and products to make it easier for anyone to understand the benefits and uses and potentially de-bunk any information that may be misleading.
COMPARISON: FRUIT SNACKS
If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen me talk about Kroma once or twice — so here is my ultimate guide to all things Kroma. Everything you need to know in one place (though my videos on Instagram are pretty entertaining).
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
This is the next best thing to pumpkin pie – except it’s good for you and packed with protein!
