Eggnog Smoothie with 1 Minute Vanilla Whip
Oh my nog. It doesn’t get better than this. Creamy deliciousness topped with a high protein sweet whip… zomg take me away. I did two things with my leftover homemade eggnog – pancakes and a smoothie. And when all was said and done, I wish I had just made two smoothies and been done with…
Dairy-free Eggnog
I spent the weekend singing along to Christmas music as I flitted around my kitchen creating Christmas treats for…. myself. Ya, I dance in my kitchen and I’m proud of it. I’d like to think that it sufficiently revved up my appetite for a nice full cup of homemade eggnog… or two. But who’s counting,…
Paleo Picadillo Casserole + How to Peel and Roast Butternut Squash
No food is more amazing than roasted butternut squash. And no chocolate cake will change my mind on this. If roasted correctly, the chunks get these amazing caramelized bottoms. I can’t promise I didn’t peel off some of them before mashing the squash for the recipe I’m about to share with you. There are worse…
Grain-free Vanilla Berry Protein Cake
We’ve feasted on microwave cakes, pancakes, and coconut sugar this week. So I just figured we’d keep the sweet going with one of my favorite go-to recipes that I’ve been enjoying as of late… Number one reason why I love it? They’re sugar-free! And that’s always a bonus, right? Since preparing my first protein cake…
Maple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes with Glazed Apples
Kevin and I love Christmas. Each year around this time, we begin our gingerbread house building plans, decorate the tree, and we even go as far as planning exactly what we’ll make together for breakfast on Christmas morning. When you read together, instead read – Kevin playing with the dogs while I make breakfast. Team…
Paleo Chocolate Fudge + Vanilla Bean Mug Cakes
Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I think my life has become more creative as a result of spending at least 20 minutes a day on the site. I have my eye on fork magnets, flower eggs, and perhaps a bit too many wedding ideas for a girl who’s not even engaged… yet. But…
Baked Tuna Dill Cakes
Salads have become my main go-to lunch choice over the past month or so. They’re quick to put together and work with any ingredient you have around. You can pack them full of veggies, protein, fats, whatever you want! The trick is… to make each salad interesting by adding a touch of creativity. The more…
Pumpkin Gingersnap Chia Breakfast Parfaits
Pictures like this make me miss home, and my kitchen. There’s something to be said for being able to mosey on down to your kitchen and create whatever tickles your fancy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time in London; there are so many amazing shops, great energy, and tasty food to be…
Crock-Pot Turkey & Navy Bean Pumpkin Chili
The last 24 hours are a complete blur. My head knows that it’s morning, but my body is telling me I should be getting ready to snuggle up in bed. Regardless, I’m sure I’ll be in tip-top shape tomorrow. We got into London around 11am local time yesterday (Sunday). By the time we checked into…
Baked Maple Peach Acorn Squash Dessert
One of the lessons I’ve learned from tracking my daily eats in my food journal, is that my body responds really well to squashes. Every time I eat them I feel energized, satiated, and if done up right, they satisfy my sweet tooth, too! I’ve been trying to introduce myself to a new type of…
