Easy Fresh Herb Tomato Sauce – Vegan + Oil-Free

Easy Fresh Herb Tomato Sauce - Vegan + Oil-Free

Man, oh man, do I love an easy recipe. I cook a lot with adding “a little bit of this.. a touch of this.. oh a pinch of this sounds good…”, so all my spices are always going to be measured in “taste test method”. Start at 1/2 tablespoon of each + taste as you go! I taped my lazy Tuesday morning while creating this sauce if you wanted to follow along in a vlog sort of way! If so, just click the video below. If you make this easy fresh herb tomato sauce, let me know what you think! As always, any questions, shoot me a message down below. Happy cooking! This simple tomato sauce recipe couldn't be any easier! Using only 2 staple ingredients, tons of spices, and whatever extra veggies you…

I’ve Been Intermittent Fasting for 9 Months – Here’s how it’s going

I INTERMITTENT FASTED FOR 8 MONTHS – HERE’S HOW IT WENT

Hey there! I’m not an expert here, but I am a huge advocate of listening to your body and finding what is best & works for you! This method has personally worked wonders for my physical health (as of mid October 2018, I’ve lost 32 lbs) and my mental health + clarity have never been better. I highly suggest playing around with foods and fasting to see what makes you feel and function at your very best! xx, Melissa March 2017 - July 2018 Truthfully, I started to practice intermittent fasting before I even knew it was a thing. DJ had done intermittent fasting with some workout program he was focusing on a year or so prior, but besides me knowing the name of what he was doing, I did little-to-no research on the…

My Weekly Meal Prep Menu : Aug 14-18 (vegetarian & 21 Day Fix approved)

"Vegetarian-21-day-fix-recipes"

Hey, friends! Welcome to my weekly meal prep! Each week, to make sure I'm staying on top of my health and budget goals, I will create a meal plan and then spend a few hours on Sundays prepping for the days to come. Meal prepping is amazing; it saves me so much time and money. I prep enough food for Monday breakfast to Friday midday (post-workout). I leave my Friday nights & weekends free but keep staples in my house, such as eggs and extra veggies, so I can make quick meals when needed. [Want more inspiration? Check out my week ONE and week TWO  and week THREE menus!] I eat 5-6 small meals each day, roughly every 3-4 hours. This way, I never feel overly full or hungry; I'm content and have consistent energy. By eating…

"10-Recipes-to-Bring-to-your-Memorial-Day-Party"

This post includes 10 Recipes to Bring to your Memorial Day Party! Guys. Can you believe it's already the end of MAY? Where has the time gone! I can't be alone here thinking that it was just Christmas..?! I feel like I need to explain for the silent airwaves that have been taking over GPL lately. Life sometimes has a way of getting away from us, but I've had SO many exciting things going on. I can't wait to fill you all in! For one, I bought a HOUSE! Whaaat! I bought Dj flying lessons and held my breath while going up with him for the first time above Jacksonville. We've taken weekend/extended trips to Charlotte (again), Savannah, and so much more. This weekend we're headed to Dallas! [video width="360" height="640" mp4="https://greenpalatelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_3859.mp4"][/video] There's so…

Chocolate Walnut Protein Fudge – Super Bowl Goodies Series

Chocolate Walnut Protein Fudge

      And just like that, we've come to day 7 of my 7 days of Super Bowl goodies series! This week just flew by and really refocused my motivation to play around in the kitchen and post new recipes on a more consistent basis! As a series finale, I thought I'd end it on a sweet note while keeping it nice + healthy (not that I don't adore you, slow cooker lava cake) with some protein fudge! As far as protein powders go, I love the taste of chocolate Shakeology in baking. [I used it in these chocolate covered almond protein balls too!] I always go through a friend to buy Shakeo, and if you're looking to get some, you can find it HERE! If the price is a little too high…
