Hey there, dear friends! I can’t believe how long it has been since I last posted – life happens, right?! It has been a crazy year. New job, kids in school, trying to balance a healthy lifestyle, being a wife and mama, a coach and working full time is NOT easy. BUT, it is doable! It just takes …
Slow Cooked Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls
Looking for easy? I have you covered! These Slow Cooked Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls were our Sunday dinner tonight!! I had to share them with you ASAP!

Egg Roll in a Bowl
Basili (my husband) LOVES Chinese take out – so do I, but after I eat it, I regret it. Besides getting puffy from all of the sodium, my tummy hurts from the MSG and processed ingredients. Tell me I am not the only one?! 🙂 SO, I make my own! Egg roll in a bowl – how fun is that!?! …

Turkey Quinoa Asian-Style Meatballs
A few Asian inspired dishes have been happening in our home this week and they have been delicious! We used to love grabbing take out, but afterwards, my stomach would be super upset, in knots and just not a whole lot of fun. There is a TON of sodium and MSG that does not mesh well with my body and …
Mexican Chicken Stir Fry Skillet
I was so very pleasantly surprised with this dish – talk about the flavor of freshness! I always LOVE a dinner that uses zero of my yellow containers – since I only get 2 each day!

Clean and Tangy BBQ Sauce
Who doesn’t love a great BBQ sauce with their favorite grilled meats? It is a classic American staple at cookouts and this is a fantastic ‘cleaned up’ version of a favorite condiment.
