I can’t believe it’s almost December. It seems like just yesterday was July! Don’t get me wrong – I’m beyond excited for the weather to cool down (c’mon Texas!), twinkle lights to take over, and to have more reasons to get together with family and friends. December also brings temptation, though, by way of too many…

Gingerbread Protein Milkshake
Nothing says “Happy Holidays” quite like a gingerbread cookie and sugary treats. IIFYM doesn’t mean sacrificing my holiday favorites. I see it more as a challenge: Find a way to cut the sugar and fat in my holiday favorites while upping the protein so I can fit in these treats without having to eat not…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Proscuitto

Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

This time of year is my favorite, but all those holiday treats, cocktails, and butter laden dishes that can wipe out a week’s macros on a single plate. To help you stay on track while still eating the foods you love, I’ll be sharing lightened…
