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…

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…

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…

Low-Cal Latte

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make a post about coffee. But if you’ve paid attention to some of my photos, you’ll notice about 75% of my counter space is devoted to coffee. So clearly, coffee is of high value and great importance to me. And while I’ll take coffee in any…

Cilantro Lime Chicken

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. This Cilantro Lime Chicken has fresh, vibrant flavors that will liven up any Mexican dish your heart desires to make. It only requires 5…

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

A lot of times, my sides for my meals are frozen vegetables, or something else convenient and microwaveable, like rice or beans. It makes my busy life a little easier, while still allowing me to eat healthy. But, as you may have seen with my Buffalo Chicken Boats or Basil Coconut Chicken recipes, I sure…

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…

Snack Attack

Let’s talk about snacks. If you read my post on meal planning, you know that one of the most important things I’ve learned regarding weight loss is that overall calories are what matter most, followed by protein intake, and focusing on the volume and quality of those calories. How you divide your calories in your…

Buffalo Chicken Boats

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I am not a world-class chef. When I started out, I rarely cooked for myself, and lacked a lot of confidence in cooking in general. Knowing I needed to cook more for myself, I looked for recipes that were quick, easy, simple, cheap, and healthy. I…
