Your experiences matter.
It wasn't until after college that I ate seafood other than canned tuna as tuna salad. However, it wasn't until a former student of mine and I met for sushi a few years ago that I started to really get adventurous with my seafood. There are still things I don't like such as lobster -… Continue reading Recipe: Tuna Burgers
My schedule this fall is pretty steady because I know which days are busy and which days I have down time. The days I have down time vary in what they're filled with, but are pretty spread out. Tuesdays are pretty light: I eat, I workout, I do homework and sometimes when my Wednesday client… Continue reading Recipe: Stove-top Lattes
Have you ever had a Monte Cristo sandwich? A Monte Cristo is a ham and cheese that is dipped in egg and then cooked. It's topped with powdered sugar. It's the American version of the French croque-monsieur. The cheese gets gooey, the ham is fried, the whole sandwich is warm. It's a bit much, but… Continue reading Recipe: Banana Peanut Butter French Toast
Updated - Let's talk sweet tooth. I love sweet things. If I had to choose sweet, salty or savory - sweet will always win out. When I think of creating balance with my sweet tooth sometimes it's incorporating it into my typical routine like having dessert most nights. Sometimes it's finding ways to change up… Continue reading Recipe: No-Bake Protein Cheesecake Filling
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
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
With summer BBQ's and gatherings over bonfires, there are some foods that you can't escape, nor would you want to. My favorites this time of year are s'mores, guacamole, burgers and chicken wing dip. However, over the years, we've started to incorporate some of these throughout the year. I've made chicken wing dip a number… Continue reading Recipe: Chicken wing dip stuffed pita
2020 update - I love Chinese takeout. I know it's not authentic, but it's something that brings back some fun memories from college. I have a few dishes or items that I always get: egg rolls, fried rice and crab rangoons are my absolute favorite things to order. Again, I know - not authentic. I'd… Continue reading Recipe: “Fried” Rice
