Over the last couple of years, I have learned how transformative the power of food is for this "broken brain" of mine. Using food as fuel has benefited my mental stability in so many ways. Adding in specific anti-inflammatory foods is a game-changer...and I can't keep this knowledge to myself. My new 12 day coaching … Continue reading Spring Reset
It may not look all that picture perfect, as it's kind of a brown blob, but trust me when I say - this grain-free version of goulash/hamburger helper is LEGIT. I really hate the word goulash. Say it out loud. GOO-LAWSH. Gross. But hamburger helper makes me think of the cute little hand with a … Continue reading Grain-Free Goulash (AKA Upgraded Hamburger Helper)
Don't let the name scare you away. I've never been a fan of egg rolls. But this dish - major fan. In fact, I've tried just about every variety out there on the interwebs, and this is my favorite. My kids love it. The adults love it. It's a win. (Just to be clear, my … Continue reading The BEST Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
I love a good one skillet meal. I love easy. I love minimal prep. This is why the frittata is becoming my BFF. Here's the thing about this frittata - I've done it a few times, with a variety of ingredients. And it always tastes yummy. So while I DO have an ingredient list and … Continue reading Basic Frittata for Not-So-Basic Mamas

Shredded meat is not my favorite, and sometimes it turns out dry and hard to chew. Not this recipe. This easy-to-blend … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pork “Al Pastor”

The husband wanted to lose some Christmas weight, so having him on board has helped me to dive in and try new recipes. We typically eat Paleoish and Ketoish at our house anyway, just because we feel good on whole food, but going … Continue reading Keto-rific Chicken Tenders
The blood of my ancestors is in this crock pot stew. Kidding. But seriously, I did some DNA testing a while back and found out I'm 50% British/Irish... so there is really nothing better for me than beef stew (other than whisky of course - kidding again)! Stew is a comfort food for me. I … Continue reading Ancestor’s Stew
I spent about 36 years of my life hiding from beef, specifically steak. I am 37. So you can imagine my surprise when I discovered how much I love grass fed beef and even some types of steak. My body feels SO GOOD on beef. I know this isn't the case for everyone, but for … Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
Salads and I have a pretty shady history. In fact, salads give me a little PTSD. They make me think of diets and all the trauma associated with dieting. The idea that if I only eat "good" food, I'll look better and be a new and improved version of me. Spoiler alert - I'm always … Continue reading Not Your Average Salad
