Easy Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup
I love crockpot recipes! Let’s face it, we’re all busy and the last thing we want to do at the end of the day is stand over a stove and cook for an hour. When you have dinner already cooking you have more time to exercise, do laundry, run kids to sports etc. This recipe uses leftovers from another crockpot meal. I like to save the leftovers chicken from my Salsa Chicken recipe and use it in here to make this soup even easier! Recipe: 1 pound of leftover salsa chicken (or uncooked chicken) (Add 1 small onion and 2 garlic cloves if not using salsa chicken above) 15 oz…

Bean-Less Crockpot Chili Recipe
I am a huge fan of chili, especially in the winter. There is nothing else like something hot to eat when you’re freezing. But the beans in chili do not make my belly feel good. So I’ve been experimenting with different ways to incorporate more veggies in place of the beans. You could easily replace the meat in this recipe for sweet potatoes if you are vegetarian also! Recipe 1lb of turkey or ground beef 28oz can of crushed tomatoes 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes 8 oz can of tomato sauce (optional) 1/2 of an onion diced 1 tsp of minced garlic 1/2 of a red and green bell…

The Best Protein Waffles
As a mom of a picky eater, I am always looking for ways to pack healthy foods and protein into meals my son will actually eat. I also love food and carbs so what better way to enjoy it without all the guilt? I’ve tried so many different protein shakes. Plant based, whey, pea, quinoa, you name it! And I never really found one that wasn’t gritty but tasted great at the same time I’ve also tried the popular frozen protein waffles and boxed pancake mix but wasn’t a huge fan. These waffles are packed with protein and are so fluffy! I used a cuisinart waffle maker but I’m sure…

Easy Whipped Cream Icing
I know this is not one of my healthy recipes I usually share with you but… Birthdays are a time to celebrate and eat cake. And I am not one of those people that easts healthy cake. So, when my sons Birthday rolled around in April and we were quarantined at home, I had the perfect excuse to bake! I was able to grab a funfetti cake mix off the shelves before that one went empty (seriously, I want to know what everyone did with the 10 boxes of cake batter they bought?) And I am not a fan of the icing in the can, it tastes like wax to…

Low Carb Keto Baked Cauliflower Mac n’ Cheese
Do you love comfort food? I am a sucker for warm and seriously fattening food in the winter. The cold weather just makes me want to curl up under the covers with all the carbs! Well not literally but you get the point. Over the last three years I’ve been putting my health first and making an effort to eat better. So naturally I’ve been on the hunt for some healthier options. But… I now have a toddler who basically eats mac n cheese a lot and I only have so much will power. Enter adult mac n cheese! This cheese sauce is so yummy and you barely notice you’re…
