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!
Rainbow Slaw
I love an excellent lite SUMMER SLAW ? Especially when it’s the colors of a rainbow ? Great for tacos, as a side, as a salad main with protein, for a potluck, or a BBQ!
Taco Bell Beef Tacos
CONFESSION ? I had @tacobell for the first time in my 35 years of living two weeks ago!!!!! I’m not going to lie, it was delicious. So naturally, I wanted to remake those crunchy, gorgeous little beef tacos my way – more nutritious, cleaner and a touch boujee ?
Beef & Mushroom Lettuce Cups
Super simple, packed with bursts of flavor. The mushrooms keep it nice and moist without adding tons of sauces and fillers!
What makes these lettuce cups, is ALL THE FIXINGS IN THE WORLD!!!!!
Watermelon, Tajin & Lime
Only the easiest and BEST snack on repeat. Watermelon with tajin & lime ? Equal parts sweet, salty, spicy, and sour!
Italian Chop Salad
I feel like we’re heading into “people popping by” season. Suns out, days are longer, and it feels more social. That being said I’m sick of a cheeseboard for my guests. I’m now into a big massive platter salad that is equal parts delicious, beautiful & filling!
Clean Beef Stroganoff
Clean comfort food…my specialty. You don’t have to sacrifice your favorite foods to live a healthy lifestyle…case in point!
Ginger Chia Fizz
The world’s best rescue remedy when you may (or may not) be under the weather (like myself who finally got taken down by you know what this week) ?
Simple Kale Salad
Kale sort of sucks – if it isn’t done right it’ll make you bloated + ? for real, at least for me. This version is so simple, great for meal prep, good for large crowds, and goes with basically any protein.
Radicchio Salad
I told my friend the salad was so simple and she laughed and said “yes if you have speckled arugula, manchego cheese, and fancy olives”. She is correct. Everyone should have these things in their fridge at all times.
Dijon Thym Pork Tenderloin
So delicious it can’t be healthy, Pork Tenderloin with a 5-ingredient dijon glaze. This kind of protein is the perfect segue into going from heavy holiday meals to clean new year’s eating. All the flavor without compromise is my M.O.
Spinach Pesto
CLEANED UP PESTO ? I love cheese etc., but for a healthier, lower-calorie, more nutritious option, do this:
