First of all all, what is tabouli? By definition, tabouli is an Arab salad made of cracked wheat that is mixed with finely chopped ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, and parsley. It is delicious. You can pretty much buy it at any grocery store, and it’s super good for you considering it consists of whole grains and […]

Lately i’ve been eating about a can of chickpeas a day. I don’t know what it is, they’re just so good. Even though I like them raw, I realllllllllly like them roasted/grilled. Roasted chickpeas are a great addition to any dish. Because of that, this salad is the perfect mix of everything. Spinach, rated as […]

Cauli-fried rice. Sounds weird, right? Whenever people first hear of cauliflower rice they don’t really understand it. How can cauliflower taste like rice? It’s actually so much easier than you think. Once the cauliflower is chopped and mixed for a bit in a food processor, the consistency turns almost exactly like white or brown rice. […]

Do you like chipotle? Of course you do. Everyone does, it’s just a known fact. Sadly, as much as I love burrito bowls, going out to eat all of the time can get pretty expensive. That’s why 9 times out of 10, I make burrito bowls for myself at home. This bowl is 10 times […]

Though many people don’t realize it, making granola takes no time at all, and it can be done with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Making granola at home is a great way to control the amount of sugar, fats, carbs, etc. that goes into your snack. Sadly, most store bought granolas are […]

Honestly, oatmeal gets such a bad rep. Most people I talk to are convinced that it is boring, bland, and tastes like dirt. Even though it kills me when people have a bad opinion on it, I was definitely guilty of thinking that at one point. Before I started eating oatmeal frequently two years ago, I […]

I never realized how much I like popcorn until last year. When I thought of popcorn, I only thought of one kind: movie theater popcorn. The kind that is soo delicious but insanely buttery? Yeah, you know what i’m talking about. Sadly, that kind of popcorn always hurt my stomach, and it’s not topped with […]

I feel like brussels sprouts get a really bad rep. I remember when I was younger, I used to associate them with the worst food possible. When I got older however, I decided to give them another try. I’m honestly so thankful I did, because they are SO good. Currently, they are my most favorite vegetable. I […]

Warm carmel apple cinnamon oats :’) Everything about that is perfect, isn’t it? Apple cinnamon is a combination I’ll never get bored of.

These fries are my go-to almost every day. Sweet potatoes are definitely one of my favorite foods ever. Recently I read that if you eat an abundance of sweet potatoes and carrots (which I do), your skin can turn an orange tint. Isn’t that scary? I’m totally convinced that’s going to happen to me. Nevertheless, […]

You know when you make something very carelessly because you have items you want to get rid of and expect the product to be very blah? That’s exactly what I did here. I saw that I had a lot of apples in my fridge and wanted to use them up, so I decided to make an […]

These pancakes are a sure fire crowd pleaser. They take very minimal time to make, and have a very basic flavor that everyone will […]

These peanut butter cups are the ULTIMATE dessert. They are rich, creamy, decadent, fudgey, and all around delicious. Chocolate, peanut butter, sweetness, what more could you ever ask for? Even though I could eat Reese’s for days on end, with these I am satisfied after one. They completely full-fill any dessert craving you may have, […]

Let’s take a minute and talk about these pancakes. I’m 100% certain that they are the best things I’ve ever eaten. They actually make you feel like you’re eating a pile of Reese’s for breakfast. Is there anyone who wouldn’t want that? Even though the process of making them is a little time consuming, it […]

If you haven’t made your own popsicles before, I suggest you start now 🙂 Popsicles are healthy, easy to make, ridiculously cost efficient, and a super tasty treat. All of those things are awesome, right? Even though i’d regularly go for a fudge bar over something fruity, lemon is a nice, refreshing change of pace. These popsicles are […]

Yields: One Sandwhich 2 pieces of whole grain bread (I like natures own 60 cal bread) 2 slices of turkey bacon 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites low fat cheese (I use Cabot 75% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese because it’s naturally lactose free) First, pour your egg whites […]

Whenever I used to read about overnight oats, I never saw the appeal. Something about cold oats just never seemed right to me. The first time I made them, I was very skeptical. When I tried them however, my opinion was instantly turned around. The beauty of overnight oats is that there is no real […]

These protein balls are a delicious, any time snack. They take less than 10 minutes to make, and even less time to eat 😉 They’re awesome broken up into oatmeal, smothered in dark chocolate, or eaten by themselves. The minimal ingredients makes the prep, and clean up super easy. Also, since everything is combined in […]
