One Pan Roasted Chicken & Vegetables
Sheet pan recipes are great for when you’re short on time and don’t want to deal with a large mess to clean up. Throw everything in a pan, toss and bake. You can make a large batch to feed a family, or get your meal prep done for the week.
Frozen Protein Waffles
The perfect protein frozen waffles!
I have been so disappointed in frozen waffles recently and I knew I could do it better, so I did.
Air Fried Tuna Steaks
Frozen tuna steaks in the air fryer that turn out perfect?! YES, PLEASE!
I’ve been craving some fish and I found some quality frozen wild-caught tuna at the store which sounded perfect with some green beans and rice for lunch.
Vegan Ragu Bolognese
As the nights get longer and colder, we often turn to hearty dishes to warm our bodies and souls. This vegan twist on a classic ragu bolognese is the perfect recipe for cold winter weekends.
Packed to the brim with vitamins and fiber, it's so deep and rich and savory, you’ll be surprised there’s no meat, and even more surprised at how macro friendly it is.
Miso Roasted Veggies
Stop steaming your veggies!
I mean, you can steam them if that’s really how you prefer. But there’s a whole world of flavor out there! Your veggies don’t have to be bland and a necessary evil to your meals. Make them the star!
Spicy Pork Peanut Noodles
This is one for my friends that need CALORIES! You can certainly still eat it if you’re in a cut and eating less calories, I would just pair it with some veggies on the side to add more volume, do a leaner meat such as ground chicken or turkey or add more cabbage/less noodles. I want to say you could try doing something like banza pasta for more protein, but that might be weird lol. If you try it let me know how it goes!
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.
Sweet Thai Chicken Bowls
30 minute meals? Don’t mind if I do! This Thai inspired bowl is packed with so much flavor and so easy to make that even the biggest kitchen noobs can still create an amazing dish.
You can use jasmine rice like I did for the base, brown rice, cauliflower rice, coconut rice, cilantro lime rice... you name it. Do what feels right. Maybe even no rice if you prefer to get your carbs elsewhere!
Beef Bulgogi Bowls
These bowls are SUPER easy to put together with mostly pantry staples, so let’s do it! I used lean ground beef (96/4) so keep in mind that fattier meat is of course going to affect macros. I don’t use oil for the ground beef when cooking it as the fat renders down and helps it to not stick, plus the sauce essentially deglazes the pan and removes crusty bits. I would recommend using nonstick, carbon steel or cast iron just to ensure it doesn’t stick and turn into a mess!
Burrito Bowl with Chicken & Rice
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!
Instant Pot Lentil Mujaddara Recipe
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.
Easy Salmon Sliders
What’s for lunch? How about some easy salmon sliders that even your toddler could put together?
Korean Chicken Tacos
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!
Lemon Garlic Chicken and Green Beans
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.
Jalapeño Watermelon Agua Fresca
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.
Fried Rice Feat. Random Freezer Veg
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.
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!
Italian Sausage + Kale Scramble
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!
Protein-Packed Paella Recipe
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.
Lemon Oregano Chicken
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.
