A Super Easy (and mostly healthy) Weekly Meal Plan We’re rolling into April and that time of year that always feels the most frenetic to me. As I’ve said before, it’s like riding a bicycle downhill with no handlebars. We have a few April birthdays in our family, and weekends are filled with an Earth…

Egg Roll Bowls
Use Napa Cabbage sliced thin for this vegetarian sauté; shiitake mushrooms are delicious here, but if you can’t find them, cremini mushrooms also work. Adapted from Lexi’s Clean Kitchen, who adapted her recipe from Skinnytaste, their versions use 7 ounces ground pork, which is a tasty addition.
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 12
MONDAY Miso soup is super fast and fits the “meatless” theme of the day. For extra veggies, add baby spinach or thinly sliced bok choy. You could also add sliced mushrooms, although I can’t get away with that in my house. Use sprouted organic tofu cut in small cubes. I’ll also make a pot of…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 12
Spring is on its way, and these last months of the school year will fly by. We are in the midst of wrapping up summer plans and it has me thinking about summer shorts, white jeans and swimsuits. Goodbye corned beef, hello kale. SUNDAY We’re still technically on spring break, and today is a travel…
Whole30 BLT Frittata
Today is my last full day of Whole30! I finally have the energy that Whole30 graduates gush about. Cooking and eating delicious food this month is really what kept me going, and I can’t wait to share more of my favorite new recipes. I’ve added a “Whole30” category in the right hand navigation of my…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 4
SUNDAY It’s football playoffs and the celebration of a successful 8th grade musical performance (and the end of rehearsals). Another batch of buffalo chicken wings is in the works and my kids requested enchiladas. The Against All Grain Easy Enchilada Sauce is Whole30 compliant. Mix two cups of shredded rotisserie chicken with a 1/2 cup of…
Buffalo Chicken Wings
Buffalo Chicken Wings (Whole30 and Delicious!) Crispy, tangy, salty, crunchy. My mouth is watering just remembering these indulgent bites of buffalo chicken wings. If I hadn’t made them myself, I wouldn’t believe they were Whole30 compliant. Buffalo chicken wings are truly a three ingredient recipe: ghee, hot sauce and wings. Feel free to substitute avocado…
Dairy-Free Creamy Tomato Soup
When I was growing up, I loved a warm bowl of Campbell’s Tomato Soup and a side of buttery toast cut in triangles. It’s a cold and blustery day in Houston, and nothing sounds better than a big pot of creamy tomato soup. While I haven’t had a bowl of Campbell’s in at least two…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 3
Here we are, rolling into week 3 of Whole 30 meal plans. For the most part, I’m not craving anything (except maybe the beer in the photo above). I’m sleeping like a champ, although I’ve been tired every afternoon. Not sure if that’s my Hashimoto’s and low thyroid talking, or the zen of Whole 30….
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 1
Here we go! It’s time to roll into New Year’s resolutions. Some say it’s not healthy to indulge and deprive, but sorry, I’m a human being. Really, it’s all about perspective. In January, I plan to add things to my diet. More whole foods, more vegetables, more healthy fats that fill me up and keep…
