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…

Turkey Butternut Squash Chili

When the weather starts cooling down outside, I love making myself a good bowl of chili. It’s a quintessential fall dish. There’s probably a thousand and one ways to make it – I don’t think we’d have cook-offs and contests if there weren’t. So, I guess that makes this recipe number one thousand and two–and…

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…

Egg Muffins

You’ve heard it time and again: breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? While there are some eating plans out there that would say otherwise, for me, breakfast really is vital.
