Why have I been craving pistachios lately? Doesn't that seem super random to you? I'm not sure I've ever craved pistachios before...I'm sure someone out there would read this and tell me it's because my body is really craving fiber or protein or something like that. But...regardless of the reason...I was craving pistachios last week like nobody's business and wanted to make some kind of recipe ...
Healthy Chocolate Pancakes with Coconut Whipped Cream [21 Day Fix]
Breakfast is definitely not my favorite meal of the day. Eggs are decent. Yogurt and granola is alright. It's not that I dislike any of it, per se - I would just rather have lunch or dinner food. However, there are a few exceptions, one of which is pancakes! (The other is bacon...because...bacon.) Pancakes are just so delicious! They are fluffy and yummy and fun to make and eat ???. Downside = ...
Five 21 Day Fix Snacks
Here's one thing that can be challenging about the 21 Day Fix: it sometimes feels like you are eating a lot of the same stuff over and over again. For me, I find a few meals that are super healthy and fit in with the container portions really well, and I will eat those meals (or meals very similar to them) several times a week. A lot of the time for snacks (and by a lot of the time, I pretty ...
Spicy Shrimp and Avocado Lettuce Wraps [21 Day Fix]
Oh my goodness love. Love. Love. These lettuce wraps make me so happy ????. They seriously pack the most amazingly flawless combination of flavors and textures... Let's start from the bottom and work our way up: A crispy leaf of fresh romaine lettuce. A crunchy layer of tangy, slightly sweet honey, lime, cilantro slaw. P.S. easiest stuff evaaaaaaa. Three or so flavor packed blackened ...
Guacamole Turkey Burgers [21 Day Fix]
Okay. This is totally one of my new healthy faves. Scratch "healthy faves" and replace with just "faves" in general. The word faves is starting to sound strange. Despite the overuse of "faves," this turkey burger seriously is out of this world. The addition of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in the ground turkey yields SO much flavor. The patty alone seared with those ...
Crispy Garlic Bread Chickpeas [21 Day Fix]
There are just those days when you crave salty and crunchy snacks like nobody's business...#amIright? When I get in these moods, I always want something like chips or popcorn. Popcorn isn't as far up on the "unhealthy scale" as chips...unless you drizzle a tablespoon stick of butter overtop...which of course I never, ever do...obviously. Some people crave candy and chocolate all the time - I crave ...
Reese’s Cup Oatmeal [21 Day Fix]
Holy chocolate cravings, this has been an intense week. Usually I don't crave chocolate suuuuper bad. My husband would laugh out loud at that statement. Let me amend...I don't crave chocolate every day, but when I do it gets IINNN-tense. Read: THIS WEEK. Man oh man. There is this superfood shake you drink in the morning throughout the 21 Day Fix, and I drink the chocolate version. This shake has, ...
Baked Coconut Shrimp [21 Day Fix]
Coconut shrimp brings back happy, happy memories for me. There is this restaurant in Charlotte (and other places I'm sure), called Firebirds, and they have a-may-zing coconut shrimp. So, so, so, so, yummy. And I always had so much fun going there for various celebratory occasions (it's slightly fancy). Now, these aren't exactly like Firebird's because theirs have a good quarter inch of breading ...
Banh Mi Tacos [21 Day Fix]
Mmm. Tacos. Banh Mi tacos. I have discussed my love for Banh Mi before (yes, the plural of Banh Mi is "Banh Mi" - Google teaches me things) when I made this sandwich several months ago. Aaaaand this love is still going strong today. Some may even call it true love. Banh Mi just have the most scrumptious combination of flavors. The pork (slash other meat you choose to use), the pickled carrots and ...
Poached Eggs over Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette [21 Day Fix]
Poached eggs are scary. They seem very fancy and seem to require a lot of technical skill to make. Let me tell you something, though - with a few little tricks, making poached eggs is just as easy and scrambling 'em up in a skillet. I promise! And then you will look all fancy and awesome eating a perfectly poached egg. We can just keep it between you and I that it was super simple. No one else has ...
