We might have a picky breakfast eater in our house, which means I am constantly having to reinvent breakfast to keep it tasty, healthy, and delicious. Cottage cheese is a true culinary wonder and this ice cream is made with protein packed nutrients and all natural sweeteners. Win win!

Easily one of my favorite fall time recipes! This creamy delicious sauce is perfect for pouring over gnocchi, or any of your favorite pastas. A classic cozy fall time take on our cream sauce, this dish would be a perfect side for Thanksgiving.

Ya know what’s neat? My breakfast cookies recipe is very adaptable to the seasons! These fall festive pumpkin protein cookies make an amazing breakfast or snack option. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Protein Muffins are here! Just in time for fall with all of the festive flavors of the season. Also low sugar and high protein. Have a couple for breakfast!!

These taco boats are the most delicious and fall festive way to mix up your taco Tuesday menu. Such fun flavors here and an excellent use of one of my favorite fall time gourd.

This recipe is super delicious, simple to make, with a variety of uses. These beautiful edamame pods came from our favorite local family owned farm Rustic Road Farm in Lafox IL. Enjoy this recipe mixed in with your favorite high protein salad or just snack on them non stop until they are all gone. Enjoy!

I have always been a huge fan of pesto and I was very happy and surprised by how great the carrot green flavor contributed to pesto. I hope you try and enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

It’s official… I am in love with a snack! These fondue flavored sourdough cracker are ridiculous, I can’t stop eating them!!! Seriously someone help me, I think I have a problem.

My watermelon sugar recipe is one of our favorites and the perfect summer treat! It tastes like French toast… seriously! You have to try it and make sure your grill is hot so you get good caramelization.

Who loves corn ribs?!?!? This guy!! This was a new adventure for me and has turned into my new favorite way to prep and eat corn. If you have time to make a garlic or spicy garlic aioli to dip these in, I strongly recommend you do so!

I was so happy with how this GF oat loaf turned out! Ube has been one of my favorite ingredients for a while and the way it combined with the oat, almond and coconut flavor in this loaf blew my mind. Hope you enjoy the recipe and remember… Don’t diet. Eat real food.

These amazing farm raised local pork chops come from our favorite local Farm, Rustic Road Farm in Elburn IL. I guarantee you will love this recipe and be sure to make the sauce. It is everything!

My friend Keith ( local business owner and avid fisherman ) brought me some amazing walleye filets. This recipe made these filets some of the best fish I have ever eaten. Enjoy!

This chili paste is a game changer for soups, tacos, salsas, and marinades. It is so simple to make and adds such an intense depth of flavor you will love!

I finally did it! I made a chia pudding recipe I truly love. Completely plant based, vegan friendly, zero refined sugars, and it’s so easy!! Enjoy!

My plant based protein bites… or balls. Whatever you want to call them. Pop 4 or 5 of these guys for a quick nutritious and delicious lunch or snack on the go. Perfect for a busy lifestyle where eating healthy can sometimes be easier said than done. Enjoy!

So this was kind of a smattering of whatever ingredients I could find in the kitchen. A happy accident if you will as all the flavors worked brilliantly toghether to creat a delicious and versatile chicken dish.

So brussel sprouts and I have a bit of a checkered past. I had always had them either steamed or boiled, and lovingly referred to the flavor as “cabbage farts”. I am happy to say this recipe is far from fart flavored.

These crispy crunch flavor bursting baked chicken tenders are a HUGE hit in our house! The unmistakable crunch factor makes them the perfect addition to a chopped salad or the ultimate dipping tender in your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
