For the chicken and rice I used my Instant Pot however, you could absolutely use a Dutch Oven or something similar if you don’t have an Instant Pot. This is a nice and big bulk recipe, great for some food prep for the week or a big family meal!

1 pound of dry & rinsed beans of your choice

4-5 frozen chicken breasts

200g chopped or baby carrots

100g-200g white or yellow onion

4 cups water

2 cups broth

Dried bay leaves

3 good size garlic cloves, smashed

Braggs, Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce

Mujaddara is generally made using brown or green lentils and rice, that can be seasoned with cumin, coriander, or mint. Lentils are a great vegetarian source of protein.

This is such a good mix of sweet, heat, crunch and some extra volume from all of the veggies! You can do lettuce wraps to keep your carbs down or throw it into a bowl with some rice to bulk up the carbs, throw some avocado slices on top for extra fat or even a sriracha mayo. You can also use ground turkey instead of ground chicken if you’re not a ground chicken fan. Plenty of ways to switch things up and keep it interesting!

What’s for lunch? How about some easy salmon sliders that even your toddler could put together?

It’s been a minute since we shared a good taco Tuesday recipe, and these “accidental” Korean Chicken Tacos, created by coach Emi have us drooling. Below she shares some important tips, plus the macros!

If you find yourself rushing and scrambling to make breakfast in the morning, or if you’d just enjoy a little extra time before your day starts, why not prep your breakfast ahead of time? These egg bites from coach @emimraule are the perfect solution!

This recipe is so quick and easy! You can start your rice up ahead of time — I throw some jasmine rice in my rice cooker, set it and forget it. Cutting the chicken thin and cooking on higher heat makes the process fast, plus it doesn’t dry your chicken out. Not to mention the amazing sauce that packs so much flavor and deliciousness.

All in, the recipe took less than 30 minutes and I only had to use one pan! You could sub out the chicken tenderloins for chicken breasts or thighs, but make sure to either butterfly your chicken breasts or pound them out a bit in order to make it thin. Chicken gets dried out easily, so I find that using thin slices and cooking at higher temps gets that awesome flavor but keeps it moist.

This recipe is great for anyone looking to enjoy a refreshing summer mocktail while abstaining from alcohol. While you certainly can add tequila and triple sec if you prefer, I promise it is just as enjoyable without the alcohol.

Quick fried rice with frozen veg for those days that regular rice just won’t cut it.

By keeping some staples on hand you can almost always pack your rice with a ton of flavor. I had a bag of frozen veg, a couple of bags of frozen rice (leftover cooked rice also works great!), jarred ginger and garlic hanging out in the fridge along with their saucy friends and eggs on deck.

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).

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!

Sometimes it’s hard to add veggies to your breakfast. The best way to do it is to mix it in with other food and let it absorb the flavors! With kale, I find that if you let it cook enough the texture is SO much better, and the bit of fat from the sausage really makes it more flavorful.

With this recipe, you can definitely customize it to fit you best! More or fewer potatoes. Egg whites to increase lean protein. Add in other veggies like bell peppers and onion. Take out the ricotta. I just used what I have in my kitchen, but that’s really the beauty of a scramble!

Looking to load up on protein and carbs for that training day but don't have much wiggle room in fats? This paella recipe is great for those who need a high-protein and high-carb meal.

Chicken doesn’t have to suck! Marinades are your friend. Sweet, sweet little chicken baths that load it with flavor and juiciness. Whenever I cook a chicken I stick with the tenderloins or thighs — if using full breasts, butterfly them so they’re not as thick! The quicker we can cook these suckers, the better.

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!

What do you get when you prepare sweet, roasted veggies with the tanginess from a very Dijon-y dressing? Perfection *chefs kiss*

You don’t have to use the pre-cut and trimmed veggies from TJ’s, I just do that for convenience. So if you don’t have access to a Trader Joe’s... don’t fret!

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.
