Ingredients that speak to me! I have recently played around with these flavors in lots of different dishes. The light & bright flavors that emerge from these ingredients scream summer to me!! I never walk away from a meal like this with that heavy feeling in my stomach. My taste buds are always singing though. :)

Below are two of my recent creations that I think you'll love! High protein meals that can easily be paired with a fresh salad or your favorite vegetable side.

Grain free & low carb!

Both can be made in about 30 minutes & appeal to all sorts of taste buds. 

I've done it! I recreated one of my favorite LaraBar flavors and I have to say they taste just like the real thing. I made them into balls for easy snacking. These are ideal for a breakfast, after a workout, or post dinner sweet treat. They can be easily adapted to fit your taste.

Packed with:
+ good fats
+ fiber
+ potassium 
& FLAVOR!

Recipe makes about 15 balls, a serving size is two-ish (they are filling). Plus, you don't want to overdo it on the dates if you know what I mean!

I wanted to share some of my go-to reusable products that I am constantly using. We try to do our best to purchase items that are high quality & that will help us use less disposable items in the future (paper plates, straws, bags, water bottles).  

I have purchased these items over the last five to ten years and built up a stock, this is not something that will happen over night. I try to buy one small item every couple of months that I consider an improvement in my everyday living. Something that will reduce the use of plastic or other waste, or that is simply better for our family to use. If you are looking to reduce waste try one of my favorites out!!

32oz HydroFlask (Straw top) $50 : Worth every penny. I have dropped it out of my car so many times. Doesn't make your water taste like metal & keeps it cold for so long!

Stasher Snack Bag $10 : We have these in every size but the snack bags are my favorite. They are the perfect size for on-the-go or any fridge item. 

Mesh Produce Bags (5) $12 : In non-COVID times you really need to stop using the store produce bags! So wasteful! I have used these for years without any dirty looks from grocery store cashiers....ha! They can be put in the washer and used again.

ZipTop Cup Set $35 : Add these to your list...when they run a sale you will be ready! They are some of the highest quality silicone bags I have found. I like how these stand up without spillage!

Ball 12 count Jelly Jar $8.39 : I bought these when I made baby food. They are so perfect for any sauces or small amounts of food. Love that they are glass! 

Silicone Straws (6pk) $6 : I prefer these straws over most and trust me I've tried them all!

OXO 8 pc Glass Tupperware $30 : Quality. Perfect snap closure! Would be a great gift for someone.

10pk Flour Sack Kitchen Towels $8 : I wash all of my produce and lay them to dry on these. They are absorbent enough but not fluffy (to leave lint on food). They can be bleached (if stained) and washed over and over. 

I love to see how everyone interprets my content. It makes me so happy to share it with you!

Need a simple healthy meal to whip up on a week night? This is your new go to! 

These BBQ Turkey Meatballs are a favorite of mine for many years. I created this recipe right out of college when I began trying to incorporate more lean proteins into my diet. I have also never been a huge fan of ground beef so this is a nice alternative! Today, ground turkey is a staple in our household that is served weekly. Ground turkey can be VERY plain. The right amount of seasoning and moisture must be added to make it more appetizing!! These meatballs can be made into smaller balls for a party appetizer. They are perfect for any week night, get-together, or potluck! Plus, they will keep you on track with your healthy eating habits!

I live for a quick and easy recipe that makes a delicious snack. This recipe does just that with only six ingredients! I have a major sweet tooth and like to have healthier options around the house when sweet cravings hit. You can make these protein bites in fifteen minutes and snack on them all week long. It also serves as a great snack for kids! These little bites are packed full of protein and flavor.
