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.

Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? This recipe is on the chunkier side, coach Emi likes her’s with some of the skin on to add a bit more texture. The great thing about these is that you can modify the milk and butter to suit your tastes! She used 1% milk in order to keep the fat low, but you can use any milk you like. You can also sub the butter for a vegan alternative, such as earth balance, in case you or any friends/family members aren’t into dairy.

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.

If you are craving Italian for dinner, then I’ve got you covered. Low carb and GLUTEN FREE. Not to mention, delicious! This was one of the biggest hits I have had with my kids in a while. This one takes a bit of work with breading the chicken, but I promise you, it’s SO WORTH IT!

Well, these may not be low fat, but they are DELICIOUS. A great option when meal prep gets a bit dull. These are perfect for a rest day! I originally made these guys dairy-free, but the dairy-free options for cream cheese and sour cream were way too high in fat. You can certainly adjust those items if needed.

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!

The great thing about this recipe is you can adjust the portions of the ingredients to work for your macros. I also suggest adding a little sambal oelek at a time in case you’re sensitive to spicy foods.

Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, honey, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then combine water and corn starch mixture and reduce heat. The longer you cook, the thicker the sauce will get, so cook based off of personal preference. Remove from heat and allow to cool. You can store in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container.

I invited the BIN team over to my house last week for a change of scenery and we decided we needed to make something delicious for lunch. We’re a busy bunch and all had check-ins to do, so we wanted something quick. And it was a hot day so we needed something refreshing that could be served cold. Since we’re also talking about sustainability this month, we decided to get fish from a local fish market here in town. It was a group effort and it turned out fabulous. The only cooking required is the rice, and if you have a rice cooker you can just set it and forget it. Which is exactly what we did. We put the rice on and sat down to get our work done. Once the rice was finished we let it cool and piled on the toppings. If you’re looking for a simple, delicious, and healthy recipe, we’ve got you covered with this one!

It’s officially my favorite time of year. The weather is warming up and I’m so excited for the barbecue season. And what goes better with some grilled meat or a juicy burger than a side of fries? I love french fries, but they’re one of those foods that I eat mindlessly and before I know it I’ve consumed an excessive amount of carbs! Not that there’s anything wrong with carbs, but I thought, what if I could make them a little lower carb and really indulge? Plus, at any good barbecue, there are going to be a variety of delicious options, so you’ll want to have enough carbs to try everything.

I am always trying to recreate salads at home and sometimes it can be really hard. They just never taste the same….UNTIL NOW! This salad is super simple and SO GOOD. This salad has very little sodium because I was able to control the ingredients and seasonings. You can adjust the fat content very easily as well by omitting the avocado or using a light salad dressing. It’s also a great salad to make for a large group of people at your next barbecue!
