Lunch is always a hard meal.... for me, sometimes I eat it, sometimes I totally skip it. But the good thing about eating healthy and being in tune with your body, is that either decision is the right one! You don't necessarily need to eat lunch everyday - if you're filling your body with wholesome, nutritious food throughout the day, then you are able to last longer without having to eat every few hours. On the days that I do eat lunch though, I am always looking for somethin

Raise your hand if you were (or still are) a chicken nugget/tender person from Chick-fil-a or a happy meal fan from McDonald's. Me....100% (at least I used to be). I would crave Chick-fil-a on the regular growing up... their nuggets are just so darn delicious! As I have gotten older, my love for fast food has unfortunately pretty much faded because nothing gives me more joy now than preparing my own meals in my own kitchen with my own ingredients. BUT that is not to say that

So as most of you probably already know (if you follow me rather closely), I am 90% gluten-free. I'm not sensitive to the point that I have celiac disease but gluten does make my skin break out, which I discovered by giving it up in college for a period of time, so therefore I do try to avoid it whenever I have the opportunity. That being said, people always ask what I eat in replacement of a bread product! **And yes, you actually can survive without it! But typically if I am

The first thing I think of when I hear pizza is either Mellow Mushroom, OR the theme song from the Spongebob episode.... Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for YOU and ME. If you watched that show as a child or are as weird as I am, then you know exactly what I am talking about! Anyways --- pizza is one of my all-time favorite things and cravings throughout a busy week. I usually shoot for places with a gluten-free crust when I am wanting to get out, or grab an Amy's Kitchen pizz

So one day recently, I started craving those little mini tangerines because the weather is finally starting to feel like summer around here (thank goodness, winter lasted WAY too long!) and they were the first thing that came to my mind when wanting something refreshing & juicy! BUT I took it a step further and started to throw them into a salad, and let me tell you..... probably one of the best salads that I have ever had. This salad is a mix of so many foods that are high i

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope you're having an awesome day today! I'm sure some of you are quite content as you might have the day off for Easter. Well, if you're celebrating Good Friday and can't eat meat, here is a new salad recipe for you, with tuna versus your regular chicken, or meat-based salads. The main thing with tuna is to make sure that it's water-packed versus oil-packed to ensure that you're not adding any highly saturated fats to your diet. Also, water-packed

Hello friends! This is one of my favorite recipes!! Fresh chicken salad, yummmm! It is always a go-to for me when I have a busy week. I will usually make a large batch of it so I can have it available for many different meals so that I always have a healthy option on hand! I either eat it plain (as the main dish), as a sandwich, or even on a cabbage wrap to add a little extra flavor and crunch. The ingredients are interchangeable, and you don't necessarily have to use them al
