On the blog today are these Dark Chocolate Protein Cashew Butter Cups and I can't wait for y'all to make these! They couldn't be easier to make and are filled with super nutritious @rootznutrition paleo protein superfood to give you a little extra health in each treat! # Honestly, I've never been much of a protein powder girl bc 1. I hate the taste and 2. They are filled with a bunch of artificial JUNK! I love that rootz is filled with *real*, clean food that nourishes your body and gives it a little extra boost! I typically make a simple shake with their powder (frozen banana + almond milk + superfoods protein) but I felt like getting festive and making something unique to share with y'all--hence these adorable, tasty little guys! # Be sure to head to the blog to read more about why I really love @rootznutrition and for the full recipe! I also provided my discount code for those that want 15% off ANY @rootznutrition products! #sponsored

Starting off the week right with this beautiful plate of breakfast! Sautéed lemony kale, 2 @vitalfarms fried eggs, and some @farmhouseculture kraut! # For the kale, I just sautéed some Trader Joe's Tuscan chopped kale in a little olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and the squeeze of 1/4 lemon.

On the blog today: this Chicken and Cabbage Lo Mein! I am weirdly obsessed with sautéed cabbage so cutting the noodles out of traditional "lo mein noodles" and adding oodles of cabbage for a Whole30 rendition was in my book! This easy, 30 minute dinner is perfect for getting in lots of veggies, has lots of flavor, and is a fantastic weeknight meal! # Full recipe is on the blog, link in bio! #whole30 #whole30approved #feedfeed #yum #lomein #cleaneating

If you haven't checked out my latest blog post on "why you should start eating salad for breakfast" be sure to read it!!! It includes some of my favorite, easy salads like this "lox salad" I love whipping up for breakfast! It's filled with butter lettuce, smoked salmon, onions, capers, tomatoes, poached eggs and my favorite Whole30 basil Green Goddess salad dressing over the top! # Link in bio for the full post!

Having too much fun in the mountains with my family and friends!

Afternoon snacks and cocktails @mtnstandard in Vail, CO. My first time here and definitely won't be my last, loving it!

On the blog this morning: why you should start eating salad for breakfast. # Since I’ve become a Whole30 devotee– big, savory breakfasts to kick start my day are now routine to me and I am so grateful. In the past, I used to start off my day with toast or yogurt and I found that when I started my day with sugar and carbs, I craved sugar and carbs all. day. long. Not good. When I start my day with greens, I tend to make good decisions all day. And yes, rethinking your breakfast routine can be challenging but it can be such a powerful shift in your life if you can get past the initial struggle. You will seriously feel freaking great in the morning if you get your greens in and the sugar out! # Really, what is the big deal? You already love eating bacon and eggs for breakfast. Why not putting it over some salad greens? And if you need some inspo, I compiled some of my favorite breakfast salad combos on the blog post today! This savory breakfast salad pictured is a new menu item at @snapkitchen...which obviously got me super excited since the whole breakfast salad trend is catching on! #whole30 #whole30approved #partner

Hi friends! Today is the last day to nominate your favorite food bloggers for the @saveurmag blogger awards. I would be so honored to just be a finalist in the "best new voice" category. If I inspire you and you enjoy my blog, I provided the link in my bio if you'd like to take a min to nominate me there I'd so appreciate your time! You can vote for all your fave food bloggers, I already voted for mine (shout out to @primal_gourmet, @nocrumbsleft, and @whatsgabycookin!!! Love them!) # And...just for fun, here's 10 random things you don't know about me: 🤓 1. I'm a spicy food lover like no other. Like, I'm down with sweating from spice weird? Whatever. But I find it odd that I HATE wasabi...it's pretty much the only thing I don't like food wise! 🤷‍♀️ 2. I was born and raised in small town (Celina, texas) where my parents raised longhorns for fun! They had the longest longhorn in the world at one point! (RIP G-Man!) Pretty wild! 3. My fave foodie guilty pleasures: Zapps Jalapeño chips and any kind of pasta! 4. I love to read! One of my fave books of all times is "many lives many masters" by dr. Brian Weiss and "the nightingale" by Kristin Hannah. 5. I take a hot bath every. single. night. My hubby makes fun of me for it but hey, treat yo-self! 6. Speaking of things I don't like...fall out boy makes me cringe every time one of their songs comes on somebody make it stop! 7. I'm terrified of flying. In fact, flying out to vail today so send some good energy + prayers my way. 8. I hate working out. Even when I was an athlete in HS I dreaded every single workout I have to make myself do physical things I like and the struggle is real! 9. My favorite thing to cook is risotto. I find it so relaxing, I pull up a chair to the stovetop and just stir away 10. I was a history major in college (TCU) ...not sure what my plan was with that one 🤔

A quick and easy "everything but the kitchen sink" meal before we leave to go to Vail tomorrow! # I've got some pan-roasted salmon topped with my lemon-basil pesto served with a spaghetti squash sauté filled with all the things left in my fridge. # The lemon-basil pesto recipe is on the blog, just search for it there. I always keep this in the freezer for whenever I want to add some oomph to meals! # For the salmon: I salt and peppered 2 filets of salmon. Heat cast iron skillet over med-high heat, when hot, add 1 tbsp. @fourthandheart garlic ghee and swirl pan so it melts and coats the bottom. Sear salmon, skinless side down first, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 mins. Flip and do skin side for 3 more mins, then transfer to a preheated oven at 375 and continue cooking until cooked through...about 3-5 more mins. # I cooked my spaghetti squash in my instant pot tonight and it took 7 mins (I used @nomnompaleo recipe since I am a instant pot newbie). In a separate skillet heat 2 tbsp olive oil and add some cherry tomatoes, halved and sauté with 2 cups sliced mushrooms and 2 cloves minced garlic, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional) and the juice of 1 lemon. When tomatoes are softened, 5-7 mins, add the cooked spaghetti squash with some fresh chopped parsley and basil and a sprinkle of truffle salt (nom). #whole30 #whole30approved #yum

Sometimes, when no one is around I talk to and refer to myself as the 'the stir fry queen' 🤓I just slay stir fries all.the.time # I just whipped this one up with things I had in my kitchen on insta stories and I also talked about essentials that are always in my pantry so that I can have a killer #whole30 stir fry whenever I please! # Ingredients: 4 boneless ckn breasts Salt and pepper 1 tbsp arrowroot flour 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seed oil 1 head broccoli cut into florets 1/2 red onion, sliced thin 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and sliced thin 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp fresh grated ginger 1 cup @bigtreefarmsbali Coconut aminos 1/2 tsp @redboatfishsauce 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1/4 cup chicken broth # Slice ckn thin against the grain. Season with salt and pepper, then add arrowroot to chicken and toss to coat evenly. Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet. When hot add chicken and cook until all sides are golden brown and ckn is cooked through. Add the Sesame oil, broccoli, onions, garlic, and Jalapeño. Sautéed until broccoli is tender, about 5 mins. Add coconut aminos, fish sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and broth and cook, stirring occasionally until sauce has thickened, about 5 more minutes.
