There’s something about drinking a sweet iced cold drink in summer that is so satisfying. On cooler summer mornings I like bringing my laptop outside and enjoy a beverage in the backyard. Minnesota summers can get brutal fast though with high humidity and 90 degree days. On those days, I like having one of these drinks to keep cool and also stay on track with my macros. In summer, I tend to enjoy more time out with my friends and family taking in all summer has to offer. Sometimes I just enjoy the time, but most of the time I track my macros. All of these drinks are macro-friendly and low…

Turkey Bacon & Egg Breakfast Flatbread
What’s better than pizza? Breakfast pizza. I’ve been making this turkey bacon & egg breakfast flatbread for a while, sharing it on my Instagram, and thought I’d finally share it here. So I have a really important question – are you #TeamBreakfast like me? I could eat breakfast for every meal, no question asked. That’s what makes this recipe so great – it’s not only for breakfast. I make this flatbread for dinner more often than I do for breakfast. Let’s talk about the ingredients. I like the Flatout Light wraps which are only 90 calories and moderate in carbs. I like keeping these on hand not only for flatbreads,…

My Flexible Dieting Aldi Grocery List (and a few recipes)
At the beginning of 2018, I decided to sit down and take a look at my finances. Both a good and bad decision. I saw how much money I was spending on random grocery store trips throughout the month. I decided to end that by building a meal plan, shopping at Costco for bulk items, and switching back to shopping at Aldi. After a few shopping trips since the beginning of the year, I’ve finally narrowed in on my Aldi grocery list for two. I shopped exclusively at Aldi a few years back when I was living on my own and it was just down the road. Nowadays I have to…

Buffalo Turkey Burger Meal Prep
It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper meal prep and I was wanting to spice things up. I’ve recently discovered buffalo sauce which is mighty tasty and also zero calories – win win. One my hacks to cooking awesome meal prep recipes is to include flavor, and these buffalo turkey burgers are just that. Spicy, full of flavor, while keeping my meal lean and high in protein. During November and December, I pretty much lived off of slow cooker chicken and rice because of how packed my schedule was. Now that I’m in a dieting phase, I want to switch up my recipes and have a variety to choose…

Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
The best season of the year is upon us – autumn! Prepare yourself for all things pumpkin pie and spice, caramel, cinnamon, and sweet apple. I love fall and everything that comes with it (always have!) including all things pumpkin. One of my favorite things to do as the weather gets cooler is opening the windows to let in a cool breeze, light at Bath and Body Works fall scented candle and drink my pumpkin spice coffee. This year I’ll be adding these warm and tasty pumpkin protein pancakes into that weekend morning routines. I’ve been doing my best to contain myself as autumn approaches and to enjoy the last…

Parmesan Turkey Meatballs
I’ve been itching to try new recipes lately for my meal preps. For the past months I’ve been sticking to the same meal preps and routine, and quite frankly it’s getting boring. After adding chicken back into my diet about a year ago, I’ve also started adding turkey for more variety and recipe options. Ground chicken is great and I’ll continue to use it, but ground turkey lends itself better to some recipes than its counterpart. One of the those recipes are these Parmesan turkey meatballs. I can also see myself loving ground turkey in chili recipes during the fall months. This recipe is simple, easy, and versatile. You can…
