My husband is forever mocking me for my love of roast beef. I generally don’t love sandwich meats but roast beef I’ll always adore. There’s nothing like a good roast beef sandwich with spicy brown mayo or a dollop of horseradish cream. We met my family at Top Round (if you’re in Dallas, it’s definitely…
Meal Prep
High Protein Chicken Pasta Bake
Yes, it’s still 100 million degrees in Texas right now but there’s just something about being 8 months pregnant and it finally being the end of August that has me craving all the comfort foods. We first made this high protein chicken pasta bake two weeks ago and I haven’t been able to get it…
Mexican Quinoa Casserole
This post was originally published in March 2015, and was updated to modify a few changes I’ve made to the recipe and add new photos. Who says eating healthy has to be boring? This Mexican Quinoa Casserole certainly isn’t, and can be help you use up any leftover veggies you may have lying around. The…
Chicken Burrito Bowl Meal Prep
I’ve been on a travel freeze since early March and am starting to get a little sick of cooking three meals a day! So, we’re pulling some old favorites that can be made in bulk back into the rotation, in hopes of cutting the nights we have to cook down to just a couple. These burrito…
Easy Weeknight Risotto and Veggies
Before we get rolling with this meal prep idea, let’s not clarify that easy, in this case, does not mean fast. Risotto is a labor of love – and takes about 45 minutes to get right. It’s a great option for those nights when you’re feeling extra fancy or want to impress a guest. My…
Creating Recipes in MyFitnessPal
When I first started tracking macros, I did what a lot of girls do – found easy meals that hit my numbers and tried to vary as little as possible. A girl can’t live on #strugglechicken and sweet potatoes alone, though! I missed my favorite foods – a warm bowl of chili in the fall,…
Quick Pasta Meal Prep
Anyone else struggle with finding the time on a Sunday to meal prep? I’d far rather spend the time with my hubs and my pups, prepping for baby and enjoying our last few months of time as a family of 3 (5 if you count the pups). After last week, though, it was a necessity. …
Recap: Eggland’s Best IG Takeover
On Tuesday, I had the amazing opportunity to takeover the Instagram pages of one of my favorite companies, Eggland’s Best. I’ve shared before about the ways that Eggland’s Best Eggs are better than ordinary eggs – they have 6x more vitamin D and 10x more vitamin E, among other benefits. We go through a minimum of…
Make-ahead Southwest Breakfast Burritos with Eggland’s Best Eggs
This post is sponsored by Eggland’s Best Eggs. Usually, my husband and I both travel Monday to Thursday for work – welcome to a two-consultant household! My travel has been scaled back a bit recently with new clients that prefer to do work remotely. Talk about a huge relief when you’re 3 months pregnant…
The Basics of Flying With Food
It’s October and I’ve already flown nearly 90,000 miles aboard 75+ flights – and the travel isn’t letting up anytime soon. When I’m on the road that much, eating out every meal really isn’t sustainable. It’s hard to guesstimate my macros and my sodium intake soars. Traveling with my own food from home has become…
Meal Prep Monday: Jan 23
After months of loose tracking and intuitive eating, I’m back on my macros this week, cutting for our wedding (100 days! Eek!). My travel isn’t making it easy, though, so I’m taking my meal prep along with me, thanks to my 6 meal ISO bag. In the bag this week is a new lo mein-inspired…
Thai Mini Meatloaf Meal Prep
I have a strange love affair with meatloaf. It’s one of those comfort foods that I can never get enough of. Still, it’s hard to justify the fatty beef and mashed potato topping more than once a year, so I’m constantly on the lookout for a new, healthier take on the classic. Meet Thai…
