Instagram Round Up! vol. 1

I realize not alllll of you have Instagram [although I'm extremely obsessed with it and don't understand how not everyone can not be ;) ], so I thought I'd share with you all some of my simple go-to's I typically reserve for my Insta! I have a bit of an obsession with oatmeal. Umm, do you recall this chocolate peanut butter cup or this chocolate covered strawberry recipe??? (drooool). My staple breakfast is most likely oats. This is a cup of plain old fashioned oats cooked in water. After they're cooked, I mix in 1 packet of Truvia, a dash of ground cinnamon, and topped with berries!   Making a big ol' batch of spa water and keeping it in the fridge is an easy way I stay hydrated throughout the week! Here we have 4…

Broccoli & Bacon Muffin Omelets

Egg Muffins

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of breakfast meal prepping. It just saves soooo much time, and tbh, who likes to actually get out of bed early on weekday mornings? I've shared with you Egg Muffin Omelets once before (back when I called them "cupcake omelets") but these are packed with completely *new* ingredients [and who doesn't love different variations of recipes? ;) ] All you'll need: [to make 12] 8 large eggs 1/4 cup unsweetened cashew milk (any type of milk will do) 5 slices of cooked turkey bacon 1 cup steamed broccoli 3 mini red bell peppers 3 mini orange bell peppers 1/4 cup white onion Parmesan cheese *You're also going to need a muffin pan and sprayable olive oil Steps: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Heavily spray down…

Cheesy Chicken Omelets

  Is there anything better after a long weekend than a fluffy, cheesy, jammed packed with goodness omelet? This weekend, Dj and I drove to my mom's house in North Carolina. It's a looooong, 9 hour drive, so the last thing I want to do when getting home is putting together a crazy meal. I'm looking for comfort food, warm, and extremely low-hassle. I'm a big fan of breakfast for dinner, so omelets it was! You'll Need: 2-3 eggs 3 tablespoons of skim or almond milk Asparagus Spinach White onion Grilled chicken (about 1 tenderloin) 1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese Pepper, onion powder, garlic powder 1 tablespoon of EVOO I used left-over chicken using this marinade! Any type of grilled chicken would work, though.   In a skillet, heat up the EVOO &…

Prepared for Warmer Weather: Drinks & Salads

  When the weather begins to heat up, my food & drink preferences change. I no longer crave cooler weather comfort foods like soup or heartier meals, such as chili (even though it's delish). I begin to migrate towards salads, smoothies, iced coffee, cold wraps, hummus inspired dishes, lighter choices for everyday snacking, and plenty of fruits in different varieties! [My clothing choice also begins to lighten up. ;) ] The other day, it was 86 degrees & there was not a cloud in the sky. We went to one of my all time favorite Happy Hour spots, M Shack. I ordered the [above] drink which was a Green Tea Mojito. I love green tea, and I love mojitos, but together? That apprehensive curiosity quickly turned into die-hard love after one sip. This drink…

Whole Wheat Egg White Open-Faced English Muffin

  When it comes to weekday mornings, I choose my bed 100% of the time. I always am looking for adding different variations of quick breakfasts to my mix so that I don't get bored, but try to keep it healthy all at the same time! My recent, simplistic go-to that I can whip up in under 5 minutes before heading to work is this Whole Wheat Egg White Open-Faced English Muffin. All you need: 1 whole wheat english muffin - [toasted] 4 egg whites- [cooked with EVOO, pepper, and garlic powder] 1 wedge of pepper jack Laughing Cow cheese 2 thick slices of tomato   This breakfast is quick to make & under 200 calories! Perfect for the mornings when you need a lighter pick me up option! What's your favorite morning go-to? You may…

Everyday Eats & My Starbucks Order!

Starbucks will always have my heart. In high school, my brother worked as a barista and would always bring me back my favorite coffee order (venti iced chai or grande hot white chocolate mocha)! Since then, my order has changed up a bit after becoming more health conscious. (Not saying I never sneak in a white chocolate mocha or chocolate croissant from time to time..) My new favorite go-to is a Venti Iced Coffee with Coconut Milk & 6 Pumps Chai. I can never stray too far from my original love.. ;) Did you know that the iced coffee has the highest levels of caffeine on their entire menu? (Caffeine = life). PLUS, it only has 2 calories, so it’s a double win in my book! Did you also know that Starbucks now offers…

Turkey Bacon & Veggie Egg Frittata

Sunday’s are for meal prep! When it comes to breakfast, everyone is different. During the week, I stick to either oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit. I also can’t eat until at least an hour after waking up & drinking a cup (or two..) of coffee. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is not like that, and needs more substance to power him through his mornings. I enjoy everything about the kitchen (surprise, surprise), so I cook for us 95% of the time. For breakfasts, I find it easiest to cook enough for him to eat throughout the week, prepackage it into containers, and make them very easy to grab on the go! I made this Turkey Bacon, Veggie-Packed Frittata for him last week & he loved it! You’ll Need: 10 large eggs 7 slices of…

Homemade Acai Berry Bowls

"Homemade-Acai-Berry-Bowls"

Weekends for us typically consist of eating out a lot. Wanting to give my bank account a break, I decided to challenge myself to use the weekends to try out new recipes I’ve been storing away and calculate just how much that ended up saving me! I live in Florida, but am originally from California. I have a ton of family out West & one of my brothers is constantly sending me snapchats of Banzai Bowls. I was immediately curious, so I took to Google to find out just how to make these bowls of this tasty power food. Since Acai Berry Bowls have not reached Florida (or I haven’t been able to find them anyway), I decided to try them out for myself. Acai berries are jammed packed of antioxidants and are a…
