I am always looking for a way to get the most out of my time spent in meal prep. If I can prep one item and meet two needs, it is a real time saver! I came up with the idea for this recipe in an effort to give my hummus an extra “boost” of protein….

My mission is to teach women of faith how to equip themselves with healthy habits, mindset skills, and efficient self-care practices so that they can walk in freedom and abundant life, show up as their best self in service of others, and are able to function at their highest capacity in order to fulfill the God-given purpose for their life! Stewarding our body well is important, but there is a bigger reason behind why than simply being healthy; it is a means to being more effective for God's kingdom.
Cottage Cheese Power Bowl(#Strange But Good)
What do you get when you combine an empty belly and a very bare fridge? Often times at my house, you get #strangebutgood. Without having a lot on hand to work with, I basically just threw together some random ingredients that sounded like they might work. The result was shockingly delicious! This happy little accident…
Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Quinoa
This is great on its own as a side dish. I have also doubled the recipe and added some chopped cooked chicken breasts to the mix for a complete meal. Feel free to try different cheeses too! I added sun dried tomato goat cheese once, and it gave it extra creaminess and flavor. Mushroom and…
WIAW #1
Hopefully I’ll start doing this more regularly, but here is my WIAW #1! Breakfast: Cottage Cheese with PB2, sugar free maple syrup, cinnamon, some splenda, and home-made granola. Morning Snack: My Microwave Protein Scone (in cookie form). Lunch: Chicken and Broccoli Meatloaf (recipe idea here) I doubled the recipe, used some flax meal and almond…
Easy PB2 Cheesecakes (High Protein + Low Calorie)
Holiday treats can be difficult to resist. Don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate of an occasional planned indulgence. The holidays are a time when favorite family recipes make it worth the splurge or two. But between family, work, and friends, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s meals add up. You can easily get…
“Celestial” Spiced Apple Cider PROatmeal
I don’t usually get to eat “real” breakfasts(i.e. warm and involved) during the week. My typical weekday breakfast consists of a protein shake and another homemade protein muffin, bar, etc. That way, I can eat quickly before and after my workouts and still suit my macro needs. That being said, on the weekends, I usually…

{Bonus Recipe} Microwave Protein Scones!
I am super excited to share this recipe!! I have played with this recipe for some time now. It all started when I saw this post. I was inspired to make something similar, so I promptly defrosted some of my simple sweet potatoes, and went from there. For the first round, I stuck close to the…
Simple Sweet Potatoes {Bonus Recipe}
As a kid, I didn’t care for sweet potatoes. In fact, I didn’t actually like potatoes in general, unless of course, they were in the form of fries or tots (#no nutritional value whatsoever). I truly detested both baked and mashed potatoes. We are talking to the point of gagging on them if I was…
“Deconstructed” Subway Salad Pizza!
This was a last minute meal idea that turned out wonderfully! Not only did it taste fantastic, it was quick, easy, and required minimal clean up, so it would be great for a week night dinner. I was craving a fresh and healthy pizza, but I didn’t have what I needed on hand in the way of veggies or meat. I didn’t really want…
It’s Official!

What’s In A Name (an explanation of the name of the blog)
When people set about to make a change of any kind, especially when it comes to their health, their focus tends to gravitate toward a very long list of things they feel they will have to sacrifice. By doing so, they inadvertently attach a sense of negativity to the process of behavior and lifestyle modification….
