Spicy Daddies

These can be whipped up so quickly! Oven on. Mix ingredients. Roll out. By then the oven should be preheated and ready to rock. While mine cooked I grabbed some green beans, threw them in a HOT pan with avocado oil, allowed them to blister a bit, then added red chili pepper flakes, sliced garlic and salt and cooked for another minute or two.

Ordering Food & Tracking Macros at Restaurants

One of the most frequent questions I find myself answering when coaching my nutrition clients is “How do I make this work when I travel?” or “In this situation I find myself running around and need to grab something quickly, where should I go?. Although I always recommend cooking your own fresh food as much as possible, I am human, and I understand life gets busy and these situations are all too common. One of the biggest pros of following a Flexible Nutrition program is that when life gets in the way and food prep isn’t an option, we know what to do!

Katie's Favorite Blaze Pizza

I’m trying to limit our eating out as much as possible and it’s amazing how much money you can save! While this isn’t quite as good as the real thing, it’s still amazing! (You can see mine in the background with just cheese & bacon cause I’m basic like that).

Arugula Fruit Salad

This is my attempt at copying my wife’s favorite salad, which happens to be from Blaze Pizza!

The balsamic glaze is super versatile so throw it into a small jar and save it for other things as well! I like to keep honey to a minimum in order to bring carbs down, but you could also reduce the balsamic on its own, it will just take longer. Once it cools it will thicken up a bit, so don’t reduce it too much!

One Sheet Garlic Lemon Salmon + Green Beans

I used to be SUPER intimidated to cook salmon since it’s much more expensive than meat and fairly delicate. I was afraid I would completely screw it up all the time. There are times where I don’t cook it exactly how I want to (honestly, while making this recipe I got distracted setting up my camera for photos and cooked it for a minute too long lol). But the thing is, it’s still delicious! And you only get better with practice. If you’re really nervous, try starting off with one fillet and go from there!

Asparagus Salad

We all get sick of the same old salads sometimes. Luckily, this asparagus salad offers a little something different for the palette. Crisp, blanched asparagus mixed with the sweetness of an orange and the bitterness of browned endives and radicchio will leave a complex yet refreshing taste in your mouth while filling your belly and leaving you wanting seconds.

Cajun Chicken Sausage & Shrimp

You can take a ride to flavor town in less than 30 minutes with this bad boy. Protein-packed and delicious.

Egg Bites

Easiest breakfast meal prep ever! The texture on these is phenomenal. No one likes rubber egg pucks for breakfast (at least I hope not).

Pistachio & Cranberry Brussels Sprouts

I hated Brussels. Hated hated hated. You could not PAY me to eat them. And then I learned something... the trick is to slice them thinly (or be lazy and buy the pre-shaved ones from Trader Joes as I do) and make sure you slightly burn them. That’s where the magic happens.

Have your pie & eat it too

I’m not sure why our loved ones and friends think that they need to have an opinion on how we choose to eat and take care of our bodies, but they always do. It can be an uncomfortable situation and often leads us to feel bad about the choices we are making to improve our health and find balance in our relationship with food.

Air Fried Maple Brussels Sprouts

Do you ever venture to a restaurant and devour their sweet sriracha fired Brussels and wonder why you can’t ever mimic it at home??? Unless you flash dry those suckers in a ton of oil, it isn’t going to happen. However, these little gems come pretty close with a lot less fat! If you need to up your micronutrient game, then these are the ticket!
