One of the most comforting meals I can think of is a toasty, warm tuna melt. It’s a diner classic for a reason. Sourdough is always a great choice, but I often like the chance to sneak a little more fiber into my meals, which is why I reach for Ezekiel bread instead. You still…

Chicken and Rice Immune Boosting Soup (Stovetop method)
As post-holiday and back-to-work/school sickness tends to go around, it’s a good idea to keep recipes like this one in your back pocket! My dear friend Heather recently passed along a recipe for a “Flu Bomb,” and while I absolutely love the ingredients, I imagine I’d have a hard time chugging down a chunky garlic,…
Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie
I talk often about balancing meals to support metabolic health, sustained energy, and fewer unnecessary snacks – and I truly mean it. That said, balance also means recognizing when your body needs more. There are days when I didn’t eat quite enough at a meal, trained harder than usual, or simply want something a little…
Sausage Broccoli and Cheddar Breakfast Biscuits
We love having grab-and-go breakfast options in our house. Breakfast burritos, overnight oats, chia puddings – anything that makes busy mornings easier is a win. There’s something reassuring about knowing breakfast is already taken care of, especially on days when no one wants to make another decision before 8 a.m. My high school son and…
Egg White Oatmeal (A Protein-Packed, Satisfying Breakfast)
If you’ve been here awhile, you know a plain bowl of oatmeal doesn’t cut it for me anymore – once I realized it wasn’t keeping me full, I started adding healthy fats and fiber to make it truly satisfying. Two of my favorite oatmeal recipes: Overnight Oats and Quick Overnight Steel Cut Oats. Recently, I…
Korean-inspired Ground Chicken Tacos
Tacos of all kinds are in a regular rotation in our house. If you’ve been here awhile, you know I often refer to them as my favorite food group. In no particular order, I can’t get enough of shrimp tacos, fish tacos, pork carnitas tacos and veggie tacos always have a spot, too. It’s been…
Sweet and Spicy Salmon
I couldn’t love this simple, quick-to-prepare recipe any more. Buttery salmon with a sweet and spicy glaze is always a winner, even for people who claim they don’t love salmon. Somehow the combo of apricot and sriracha makes it irresistible, and it comes together in under 20 minutes. This recipe is easy to adapt with…
Ground Beef Taco Bowl with Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower Taco Bowls This is one of those dinners that works for everyone in our family. It’s simple enough to make on a busy weeknight yet wholesome and satisfying enough to leave everyone happy. These Cauliflower Taco Bowls have become a regular in our rotation – quick to pull together, full of flavor, and made…
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (using REAL pumpkin!)
I’m not much of a coffee shop person – those visits are rare treats, usually when I’m out of town or meeting up with a friend. At home, I’ve been spoiled with excellent coffee for as long as I can remember. One of my husband’s great loves in life (other than his family, of course)…
Egg Roll in a Bowl
This super easy dish is always a hit in my house. It comes together so quickly that I don’t mind making it at the end of a busy day, but it also works well as a make-ahead meal. I like to plan it after a night of fish tacos with slaw or an Asian-inspired salad…
