Does anyone feel like they’re living their life on the road right now? Whether it’s flights and hotels for work, road trips to see family, or constant jogs around town running holiday errands, I feel like I’m never at home. And all that “on the go” living could really take a toll on good eating…

Meal Prep: August 22
I’m traveling for work this week for the first time in months! I was always very strict about carrying my food with me when I was prepping for a competition. Now that my goals are a little different, I’ve relaxed that habit a bit. This trip was an easy one to bring my meals along,…
Lightened Up Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
This easy chicken pot pie casserole is a family favorite, especially for those chilly fall days. Temperatures are still high here in Dallas, however a week of rain in the forecast has me pretending like we’re on the cusp of fall (but let’s be real, we still have another 2 months of summer weather here…
Protein-packed French Toast
Whether it’s for breakfast on Sunday morning or dessert on Wednesday night, I’m ALL about french toast. It was my lifeline during my first competition prep and it’s been a must-have when those pregnancy egg aversions hit but I still needed to get in my protein. This protein-packed french toast is a healthy alternative to…
Chicken Burrito Bowl Meal Prep
I’ve been on a travel freeze since early March and am starting to get a little sick of cooking three meals a day! So, we’re pulling some old favorites that can be made in bulk back into the rotation, in hopes of cutting the nights we have to cook down to just a couple. These burrito…
Easy Weeknight Risotto and Veggies
Before we get rolling with this meal prep idea, let’s not clarify that easy, in this case, does not mean fast. Risotto is a labor of love – and takes about 45 minutes to get right. It’s a great option for those nights when you’re feeling extra fancy or want to impress a guest. My…
Pasteurizing Eggs During Pregnancy
I love a good runny egg, y’all. When we found out we were expecting, it was one of the first things my husband reminded me I would have to give up. No biggie, right? Raw eggs carry a large risk of salmonella. Even though we only buy the best (Eggland’s Best, to be precise, for…
Salmon Burgers with Foolproof Sriracha Aioli
Since finding out we were pregnant, we’ve been doing what we can to incorporate more low-mercury fish like salmon that are high in Omega 3’s into our diet – despite the hubs’ massive aversion to fish. Challenge is, most salmon recipes take 45+ minutes to cook. By the time we get out of the gym…
Recipe Review: SkinnyTaste Easy Bagels
I’m in a few IIFYM groups on Facebook and everyone keeps raving about SkinnyTaste’s Easy Bagel recipe. Our kitchen has been under renovation for a couple of weeks, so as soon as we got the green light to start using the counters again, I knew I had to give this recipe a try. I mean,…
Getting in Your Protein While Traveling
This post is sponsored by Great Lakes Gelatin. All unbiased opinions below are 100% mine – I used this product long before they offered to sponsor this post! Sticking to your macros and getting in your micros when you’re not at home is hard. Carbs and fats are so easy to come by. Just stop into…
Creating Recipes in MyFitnessPal
When I first started tracking macros, I did what a lot of girls do – found easy meals that hit my numbers and tried to vary as little as possible. A girl can’t live on #strugglechicken and sweet potatoes alone, though! I missed my favorite foods – a warm bowl of chili in the fall,…
Loaded Cauliflower Baked Potato Soup (Instant Pot)
When the weather drops down below freezing, the only thing that seems to hit the spot is something warm and comforting. Baked Potato Soup from Panera, while delicious, isn’t exactly macro-friendly. So, I set out to make my own lightened up version. In this recipe, we’re swapping half of the white baking potatoes for pureed…
