Wellness Refocused Coaching and Consulting
Your experiences matter.
Most of my spontaneous ideas come from having a small amount of something left over that I don't want to throw out and having a sparked interest from a recipe I saw. When I notice that some ingredients are getting close to going bad, I start to search for recipes so that I can use… Continue reading Recipe: Breakfast “grilled” cheese
I'm always looking for new recipes. I think the ones I search for the most usually include the ingredients: chicken, tomatoes, eggs, sweet potato and ground turkey. I do a bulk of my meal planning on Sunday's, which means I'm probably scanning through cookbooks, magazine's and Pinterest for about an hour sometime in the afternoon… Continue reading Recipe: Cheeseless buffalo chicken quesadilla
Update: While I was in the weight loss phase of my journey and into competition prep, I eliminated grains that didn't keep me full. Part of this was because they didn't keep me full and the other part was to moderate my carbohydrate intake. During this time, I focused on increasing vegetables as a source… Continue reading Spaghetti squash two ways
Being on prep you need to be creative with your ,even if you follow flexible dieting because it can't be all Oreos and ice cream all the time.

This morning I made Mexican hot chocolate overnight oats, but I added peanut butter because peanut butter makes everything better. I used my basic overnight… Continue reading Recipe: Mexican Hot Chocolate + PB overnight oats
Updated - I love eggs. I think of them as a vehicle that helps me incorporate more veggies into my day. They're also filling and for me, that's always been a priority because I've always had busy days. Even when I competed, taking time to eat multiple times a day was challenging and thinking about… Continue reading Recipe: Egg-stuffed Tomato
Updated - I wish that I had explored overnight oats sooner. I started making them last month and I can honestly say this was from a thought distortion I had around oats. I started health coaching because my experiences led me to want to help others, so I will always be as honest as possible.… Continue reading Recipe: Overnight Oats
I eat a lot of chicken. I mostly bake it, sometimes I pan fry it. I own a million spices and seasoning blends so it's never boring to me. However, that doesn't stop my boyfriend from asking if the "chicken is going to be exciting for dinner." Well, yes dear the chicken will be exciting… Continue reading Recipe: Kickin’ chicken nuggets
I have no idea where the desire to make a cheesecake came from on Friday, but I came up with a pretty good recipe for just winging it. Part of it could've been that I had nothing better to do on a Friday night, or that you really can't go wrong with dessert; regardless of… Continue reading Protein Ricotta Cheesecake
