Breakfast Quesa-Taco
Is it a quesadilla? Is it a taco? I’m not really sure, but it sure is yummy! I created this hybrid breakfast/brunch last Saturday using leftovers from taco night and it was SO delicious. You have to try it. I aim to keep all of my cooking as healthy as possible, but this one is definitely a little bit of a splurge. However, I always use the highest quality ingredients. It’s okay to be indulgent (in my opinion) if you’re using organic, grass fed/finished meats, etc. So, here’s my recipe. Try it out and let me know what you think! Ingredients: 4 eggs splash of half-and-half 2 tortillas (I used…

Spa Smoothie
I recently revamped my smoothie-making thanks to Kelly LeVeque. I heard about her through Jessica Alba who swears by her recipes and nutritional guidance. If it’s good enough for Jessica Alba, it’s good enough for me! It’s so common for “healthy smoothies” to be loaded with banana, pineapple, honey, etc. AKA too much sugar. Her recipes give you the perfect amount of protein, fat, and fiber to fill you up while limiting your sugar intake. Plus, they’re absolutely delicious. I’ve made green smoothies for years now, but her formula is perfection, so I had to share! This Spa Smoothie is so refreshing, gives me energy, and fills me up for…

The Healthiest Green Smoothie Ever
AKA my “flat tummy smoothie”! This is hands down the healthiest smoothie you can put into your body! WARNING! It’s not sweet. No frozen bananas in this baby. Because it’s very low glycemic, you won’t spike your blood sugar first thing in the morning (if you prefer your smoothies for breakfast). An added bonus is you won’t feel bloated or hungry in 2 hours since it’s so nutrient dense. I find that a lot of fruit makes me bloated, so that’s why I call this my flat tummy tea. No bloating. If I’m ever trying to fit into a particularly form fitting outfit or bikinis, I’ll add these to my…

Figure Friendly Pumpkin Muffins
Fall is officially here, which means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! I make killer pumpkin “love muffins” as my husband calls them. I bake them once (sometimes twice) a year on our dating anniversary. They’re amazing, but not something I would eat every day. I may share that recipe later this season, but for now let’s bake something a little healthier. This recipe is absolutely delicious, but wont make you feel guilty. Its packed with fiber and dairy free! Perfect for a quick breakfast with coffee, or a light dessert. INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 cup pumpkin 1/4 cup apple butter (I use my Granny’s homemade apple butter) 1/4 cup…

PB & J Green Smoothie
“A healthy outside, starts from the inside.” As a blogger, I am supposed to have a niche. Easy. I am obsessed with fashion, beauty, and working out. Everyone loves to see pretty pictures of a blonde in a cute outfit, right? Those things are easy to capture and talk about. For me though, those things are all rooted in my health. If I’m not feeding myself nutritious things, no amount of concealer is going to cover up the blemishes that come from junk food. There’s no workout in the world that will cancel out a bad diet. And I’m definitely not going to feel very cute in my beloved crop…
