I love a good Mexican chicken recipe. Mostly because it usually means I get to have queso with my dinner, and who doesn’t love them some queso every now and then.

Banana Oat Protein Muffins
A few years ago, there was a show on NBC called Strong. Professional trainers teamed up with women to help them achieve fitness goals, get stronger, and face different challenges and obstacles every week. It wasn’t the most amazing show ever, and only ran for one season, but my little empathetic INFJ heart latched on…

Meal Planning
I eat. A lot. So, how have I lost weight when I eat so much? How did I come up with a meal plan? When I first started out, I found some professional accounts on Instagram that were both educating and encouraging. I learned a lot, and applied what I learned to create a meal…
