If you’re getting tired of grilled chicken or plain ol’ ground beef as a meal prep option, try meatballs! They’re flavorful, filling- and just so fun. Eat them alone in your favorite garlicky marinara or scoop over spaghetti squash. Another favorite under meatballs or alongside any Italian dish? Roasted vegetables! I just LOVE the flavor of crispy oven roasted broccoli & cauliflower florets (plus some rough chopped garlic…
Coffee… some like it hot, some like it cold. Which one are you? When I’m at home, I’m usually a “hot bulletproof coffee” kind of girl.

And how to make a drop-down recipe menu. Honestly, things I never really wanted to learn- ha! …
It’s week two of the January Whole30 and I’m actually feeling pretty dang good. However, it’s also less than two months until our wedding. What!? Of course it was our choice to go for a 6-month engagement and “make it happen”, but there’s something about these last couple of months to go that have me feeling just a little frantic. But at the end of each day, I…
