Breakfast is my jam. Some people say it’s the most important meal of the day. For me, it’s my favorite meal of the day, and can be eaten any time of day. And given the space I hold in my heart for breakfast, pancakes are basically my love language. While I enjoy them in most…

Lemon Rosemary Chicken Burgers
Burgers. Am I right? They come in all shapes and sizes, and while you might not think “healthy” and “burger” belong in the same sentence, they can definitely coexist. It all depends on how you make them, how you top them, and what you have with them. I love how simple it is to make…
Lunch Ideas
We’ve talked a lot about dinner and breakfast, and at this point, you might be asking yourself–does this girl ever eat lunch? Of course I do! There’s so many ways to pull together a healthy lunch that fits your needs and schedule, but if the possibilities are overwhelming and you just need somewhere to start,…
Sweet Tooth Solutions
If I had a dollar for every time someone told me about their sweet tooth – well, you know. Hey, I’m all for treats in moderation, but it’s far too easy to get carried away and sabotage yourself when it comes to your goals. And while there’s something to be said for learning the art…
Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin
I’ll be real with you: The first time I tried making this pork tenderloin recipe, it threw me for a loop. Not because the recipe itself is complicated, but because I have an apparent knack for making simple things more difficult. What can I say. It’s how I roll. I made a post on Instagram…

And lately, I’ve been knocking back this lighter pumpkin coffee concoction. All you need is pumpkin spice flavored coffee with half a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and you’ve got a delicious,…
Asian Chicken Meatballs
Meatballs are a great option for a quick, healthy meal. They’re easy to throw together, a great source of protein, and making one huge batch can turn into multiple meals. While they can be served in a variety of ways, I love making mine with an Asian twist. Here’s all you need: The original recipe…
Proats
Oatmeal is such a great breakfast option. On its own, it’s incredibly filling, a healthy source of carbs (*gasp*), and full of whole grains and fiber. I also enjoy that it comes in a variety of flavors, like these. What can I say? I like having options. And variety is the pumpkin spice of life….
Balsamic Chicken Pizza
For starters, let me be clear: I have nothing against pizza. I won’t ever say you can’t have it ever. That’s crazy talk. I’m all for it, in moderation. But sometimes, I find I also enjoy a healthier version that’s flavorful, satisfying, and helps keep me on track toward my goals. This Balsamic Chicken Pizza…
MyFitnessPal: Friend or Foe?
While you do not have to track calories to lose weight, when weight loss is, at its core, a matter of being in a caloric deficit, it can be very helpful, especially if you’re just starting out. During previous attempts to lose weight, though, I’d often try to use the MyFitnessPal app to track what…
