Yogurt & Granola With Berries

Loving the healthy Spa menu when I know my feet won’t hit the floor much today!

Oh wow, these were delicious and so good for you! My kids loved that they were eating cupcakes for dinner and my husband and I couldn’t stop at just one.. or two! Sauté for 5-8 minutes: EVOO 1 large yellow onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced In a large bowl combine: 2 Lbs extra lean ground beef (7% fat) 3 eggs, beaten 1/4 C tomato paste Dash or two of Worcestershire sauce 1 large zucchini, grated 1 large carrot, grated 1-1 1/2 C bread crumbs (I used leftover cornbread stuffing mix and it was phenomenal) Beef or Chicken broth as needed to moisten mix S&P Add onions to meat mixture but don’t over mix. Spray muffin tins generously with cooking spray. Fill each cup with meatloaf mixture. Top off with a little extra broth if needed. Slather your favorite BBQ sauce on top and cook at 375 for 30 minutes or so. (I cooked mine on the Traeger at 350 for 25 minutes and the smokiness and moistness were the perfect combination for these muffins.) Sweet potato frosting: Bake 6…

Mango with Tajin

80 degrees calls for a summer favorite. Simple, fresh, and pops of flavor! Slice fresh mango to your preference. Drizzle fresh lime juice over fruit and sprinkle Tajin. Tajin is a seasoning made of ground chili peppers, salt, and dehydrated lime juice. You can buy it at most grocery stores or Amazon.

Meatloaf Marinara with Zoodles

Filming a fun segment on @studio5ksl today! Meatloaf cupcakes (previous post) and turning the leftovers into two different meals. My family all agreed we liked this “meatloaf marinara” sauce as much as the cupcakes. Crumble up leftover meatloaf muffins and put in Arrabbiata sauce. Top with shaved Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve over *zoodles or pasta! * I sauté my zoodles in a little Grape Seed Oil and S&P. Don’t overlook them or they’ll be soggy and watery. You want them cooked al dente.

Sriracha and Lime Salmon

My girlfriend brought me this dish when I had my last baby and it’s been my favorite salmon recipe ever since. It’s really that good! Zest and juice of 2 limes 3 TB maple syrup 2-3 TB Sriracha 1 tsp coarse sea salt 2 pounds salmon fillet, skin removed Coarsely chopped cilantro Preheat oven to 425°. In a bowl, whisk zest, juice, syrup, Sriracha, and salt. Place salmon in a baking dish and pour mixture over top. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. Roast until cooked through and flaky, 15 minutes. If grilling or putting on the Traeger, marinate fish with 3/4 of sauce. Grill for 15 to 20 minutes and then top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with cilantro.

Homemade Hummus

I wasn’t sure this homemade hummus would be that much better then store bought, boy was I wrong! It is so easy and so fresh! 2 cans chickpeas, drained with 2 Tb liquid reserved 4 garlic cloves 1/3 C Tahini 2 lemons, juiced 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt Put all ingredients in blender until combined. Refrigerate overnight for best taste. Garnish with EVOO, pine nuts, and hot sauce. Buy the best Pitas you can find and brush with EVOO and grill or broil. Sprinkle Zaatar or salt when still warm. As I’ve been looking up recipes for these Middle Eastern dishes, I’ve realized they all have the same ingredients. Here is a quick run down in case you’re going grocery shopping today. Tahini Lemons (a lot) EVOO Garlic Parsley Cumin, Paprika, Coriander Mint leaves Pita (All veggies shown in picture, including eggplant)

Grilled Corn & Black Bean Salad

Clean eating at its yummiest! I am obsessed with this salad. It’s citrusy, a tad spicy, and has a great blend of textures. Double the recipe and use it the next day in numerous ways (over eggs, with brown rice, over a chicken breast, Nacho topping, the possibilities are endless!). 1 can Black beans, drained 3-4 corn on the cobs, grilled 1 bunch asparagus, grilled Green onion, grilled then thinly sliced Radishes, thinly sliced Avocado, sliced Feta or Cojita cheese Chili-lime vinaigrette 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice 1 part EVOO or Grape Seed Oil Dash or two of chili powder Handful of cilantro, chopped s&p to taste Heat beans and add chopped asparagus, corn, radishes, green onion, and feta. Top with avocado slices and drizzle dressing on top.

Chili Lime Chicken Burgers

Remember those loaded potato skins last week? This is round 2! Chile Lime Chicken burgers (TJ’s.. I promise I’ll break my addiction soon) Burrata Cheese Slaw, leftover from potato skins Add charred corn (TJ’s darn it ) Avocado Micro greens Squeeze of fresh lime juice maybe a little Sriracha Protein veggies bright flavors Add baked sweet potatoes and you’ve got Dinner!

Overnight Oats

Serving a healthy breakfast at a morning meeting today! As great as muffins and doughnuts are, you’re guests will appreciate a healthy breakfast even more. This is a great way to serve oatmeal in the summer too. One serving: 1/3 C Old Fashioned Oats 1/3 C almond/coconut milk 1/3 C Plain Greek yogurt 2 TB Chia Seeds Small dash of vanilla Dash of Maple Syrup Dash of salt Cover and refrigerate overnight. You may need to add a bit more liquid in the morning to achieve your desired consistency. Top with any toppings you like!

Quest Bars at TJ’s

Like I needed another reason to love Trader Joes! Bonus, my kids love them too!!
