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! I was at a baby shower for my sweet cousin today and I knew I would get home right before dinner time so I figured instead of rushing around trying to get something …
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!?! …
Carne Asada Tacos
This Carne Asada Marinade is going to be used a lot around here this summer! It was so simple and flavorful! The steak was melt-in-your-mouth good and got rave reviews from my family!

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! (For those of you not following the container system, the yellow containers are starchy foods like bread, potatoes and rice!) This Mexican Chicken Stir …
Fixed Up Beef Barley Stew
When I think of Beef Stew, I think of a warm, cozy house full of the wonderful smells of a simmering stew full of hearty ingredients – a fire in the fireplace and snow falling outside. I also think of Basili’s Uncle Jim who makes a mean Beef Stew! Basili has asked me several times over the years to make …
Turkey Mozzarella Meatloaf Muffins
MY KIDS ATE VEGGIES!!! These were really tasty, pretty easy to whip up and right on track for my current program, The Master’s Hammer and Chisel. Basili and the boys really enjoyed these too, so I will consider that a win! I have made these a couple times and the second time, I made them with Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower …
Skinny Roasted Veggie and Ground Beef Lasagna
WHOA. Did you say veggies? Because I am pretty sure my kids just ate the whole thing. I will consider this dish a ‘mom win’. Basili found a recipe on The Food Network’s website that sounded really tasty so I decided to put my spin on it, making sure it would be Hammer & Chisel friendly! It turned out great! …
