Creating a Nutrient Dense Diet on a Budget

So you’ve decided you’d like to take charge of your health and are worried about cost… don’t let that deter you! I totally get it! When I first started my journey to better health, I too was concerned about cost. You often hear that you must buy everything “organic, free range, BPA free and allContinue reading “Creating a Nutrient Dense Diet on a Budget”

Green Juice Shot

I made this on an absolute whim… Never made green juice on my own before but I had a bunch of random veggies left over in my refrigerator. Now that I think about it, I don’t even know if this is considered a “juice” because I didn’t “juice” any of the vegetables. I just blendedContinue reading “Green Juice Shot”

Strawberry Stuffed Avocado

This recipe is stupid easy! This makes for such an amazing snack or even lunch because it’s so filling! I absolutely love just how decadent this is without being overly sweet. This recipe is no-cook and comes together in just a few short minutes. You can really use any fruit you’d like, the possibilities areContinue reading “Strawberry Stuffed Avocado”

Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Move over P.F. Chang’s because this is bursting with flavor! I made this with turkey instead of chicken because that’s what I had on hand (chicken is typically found in this dish however, I think either work as they are both poultry and generally have the same flavor). Butter lettuce is the absolute best choiceContinue reading “Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps”

Lemon Caper Cod

Are you a seafood lover? I definitely am. Seafood is a go to for me. I love shrimp, fish, crab and lobster… you name it! It’s all so yummy, not to mention, lean, quick, simple, and easy to cook. And it’s also nutritious and delicious! This dish is a classic… so fresh and light! LemonContinue reading “Lemon Caper Cod”

Cucumber Salad

This is such a refreshing salad and takes 5 minutes to put together (my kind of recipe – short and easy!). This salad gives me Greek vibes because of the kalamata olives, fresh herbs, and crunchy onions. It makes for a great side dish and goes well with fish or any other seafood. And itContinue reading “Cucumber Salad”

Shrimp and Broccoli

This dish is way better than Chinese food from a restaurant! I mean… yes, it’s been a while since I’ve had takeout, BUT I really thought this tasted better than any Chinese food that I can remember! It’s also ridiculously simple to make and absolutely took no time to cook at all! There is justContinue reading “Shrimp and Broccoli”

Strawberry Avocado Pudding

INSANELY DELICIOUS ALERT! This recipe is AMAZING and takes less than 5 minutes to put together! I seriously outdid myself on this one… it is wayyyy better than I anticipated. The fresh strawberries are so sweet that you don’t even need honey, maple syrup or any other natural sweeteners. This snack is Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)Continue reading “Strawberry Avocado Pudding”

Okra Dirty “Rice”

This recipe turned out way better than I thought! I was surprised just how much it reminded me of New Orleans Dirty Rice! Despite not having the traditional Cajun heat usually found in this dish, it’s important to remember the essence of dirty rice is about having a generous amount of seasoning, which makes itContinue reading “Okra Dirty “Rice””

Mardi Slaw

This is truly a bright and fun recipe! It’s super simple and makes for a great side dish. This slaw is so refreshing and really compliments my okra dirty rice. I consider this a Mardi Gras recipe because of the color palette, not because of the flavor profile. The beautiful colors from the purple cabbage,Continue reading “Mardi Slaw”
