Back in 2013 when I originally posted this recipe, it was still a toss-up whether my clients had even heard of hummus. Now, hummus is all the rage and every grocery store carries at least 4 different brands and a crazy amount of flavors. I put hummus on sandwiches and wraps, use it as a…   Read More»

I’m all about meals you make once and can eat for several days in a row, especially for lunch. These Greek Pita Pockets may not photograph well but they sure hit the spot when lunchtime rolls around. No microwave required. You can make the tzatziki dip yourself or pick up a pre-made one. I found…   Read More»

Living in Texas for 3 years, I developed a love for legit tacos. Like, an “every Friday night we NEED to go get tacos” kind of love. Torchy’s Tacos was one of my go-to spots and I never passed up an order of mexican street corn on the side. Now that I’m in Florida, I’ve…   Read More»

These Quinoa Pizza Bites were one of the very first recipes I posted on my blog back in 2013. They needed a major refresh and some new photos. Back then, no one even knew how to pronounce quinoa! I added more “pizza toppings” this time for more flavor and a pop of color. These healthy…   Read More»

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads for Brandless all over your social media too… common household products and pantry times, all for $3, with free shipping once you spend $39.

Over the past 10 years of nutrition counseling, I have learned that what works for one person will not work for everyone. The body is a complicated…   Read More»

This is the one of the best soups I’ve ever made! Plus– it’s good for you. It is high in nutrients and packs major flavor. With a trio of mushrooms, the savory flavor is similar to miso soup (the popular starter at Japanese steakhouses) and I added a little kick with the jalapeno. The orrechietti…   Read More»

The holidays are here and that means cold and flu season is here as well. Many of us will have at least one flight or long road trip over the next month or so. Travel combined with high stress, skipping workouts, and being out of a healthy eating routine means you are all the more likely…   Read More»

As the weather cools off, there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. Buuuut there’s not always time to make stove-top oats in the morning, so baked oatmeal bars have become my new go-to. If you don’t like the texture of typical oatmeal, baked oatmeal may be the way to go. It’s…   Read More»

If there was ever a time in the year where your health and fitness goals take a backseat, the holidays would be it. Parties, family, shopping, travel, post office runs, planning events, wrapping gifts… all of these extras tend to take precedence over packing your lunch or heading out for a run. It’s easy to say “I…   Read More»
