Precision Nutrition certified Sports Nutritionist, Former Whole9 Life seminar team member, Triathlete, cheerleader & creator of real food recipes.

I believe that being healthy doesn't have to be difficult. Eat real food, move more, get more sleep and spend time with loved ones. Treat your body well and cherish it- you only get one. Learn to grow your own food and always know where your food comes from. Shop locally, get to know a farmer and never stop playing.

Easy meal prep 👌 I’ve always enjoyed cooking and meal prepping, but it’s looked different over the years. Before we had kids, we would do a larger meal prep on Sunday for the entire week. Now, I try to prep twice a week and then we eat out on weekends. Or, I end up cooking during Franklin’s afternoon nap and we can usually have leftovers for 1-2 days.
•

One thing that has helped me with prep is what I call “half-homemade” meals. Meals that are half homemade and half store bought (usually frozen or fresh items).

•

For example, I made the ground turkey into taco meat, and also roasted Brussels sprouts, but the ravioli and riced vegetable were both frozen from Fresh Thyme 👍
•

Do you cook half-homemade meals? What are your favorites?

We celebrated our big 4-year old today with ’s homemade Belgian waffles and a trip (just the three of us!) to the Children’s Museum. We had a blast! We ate special food, took our time playing some extra rounds of golf, and tried ALL the sports... and we saw the dinosaur exhibit of course! Happy birthday Jack ♥️🦖🎉

Reminiscing about this charcuterie board I made for Jack’s party last night 🤩 When I asked Jack what his favorite foods were for his birthday party he said, “salami, corn on the cob and strawberries”. Ok, done!
•

While I didn’t get to enjoy any of it while it was all fancy and put-together last night (because does anyone who hosts actually get to enjoy the food?!), but I’ve been snacking on all the delicious leftover bites today.
•

You want to know how to kick your charcuterie board up a notch? Add Mean Beans// pickled, spicy green beans 😋 We first came across them years ago while doing our first Whole30, and we’ve purchased them ever since. Perfect for a picnic, snack, or... paired with lots of yummy cheese and meat on a charcuterie board 👍

What are your favorite things to add to a charcuterie board?

When we talk about building a kid’s plate, it’s just like an adult’s plate—Fill most the plate with veggies, add protein, fat and then some carbohydrate (more veggies or see below for other options).
•

Often times we get caught up in the marketing of “kid food” which isn’t very nutrient dense. Sure, we have “kid food”- corn dogs, hot dogs, pizza, and fries, every so often (insert photo with delicious cinnamon roll), but we try to build most meals around veggies/protein/fat.
•

An easy way to do this is to think “Protein, carbohydrate, fat” as you’re building a kid plate. This is a good outline for any meal, and here are some ideas:
•

Protein:
✔️ Chicken
✔️ Beef
✔️ Turkey
✔️ Fish (fish cakes may be easier for kids)
✔️ Meatballs (use any of the above)
✔️ Yogurt (Full-fat/whole milk & grass fed or organic is best)
✔️ Cottage cheese
✔️ Eggs
✔️ Lentils/beans
✔️ Deli meat
✔️Sausages (any of the above meats)
•

Fat:
✔️ Avocado
✔️ Cheese
✔️ Cook with Oils (olive, coconut, avocado, lard, ghee)
✔️ Peanut butter or other nut butters
✔️ Nuts (if they’re old enough to eat them easily)
✔️ Coconut flakes/chips
•

Carbohydrate:
✔️ Fruit
✔️ Grains
✔️ Potatoes
✔️ Rice/Quinoa
✔️ Oats
•

✔️ chocolate chips to taste

•

Recipe:
✔️4 cans of tuna (we use )
✔️ 6 hard-boiled eggs

Super easy and great for lunches, dinner or a snack. compliant, dairy-free and gluten-free 👌

Another clean, healthy tomato sauce for the win 👏👏
•

I found this Member’s Mark brand in a three-pack at this weekend and was pumped that it had good veggies and no sugar!
•

Whenever you’re looking at labels for sauce (specifically) look for minimal ingredients, no artificial colors/flavoring, and no sugar - it’s incredible what companies will add to products when they taste even more delicious with plain old ingredients 🙌
•

This jar is also compliant! What are some of your favorite canned or jarred brands? I always stock a few things in my pantry to have in a jiffy and I’d love to know your favorites 👍

Yesterday was Earth Day 🌎

My sister always jokes with me that I can’t stand the thought of sending things to the landfill- she’s 💯 right. For me, it’s thinking about the impact we are having on our children’s life, and our grandchildren’s life.
•

For me, it’s also about making small (even tiny) changes for our family that will have a big impact over time.
•

Things like choosing glass over plastic, choosing not to use a straw when we are out to eat, not purchasing bottled water (hello 💦), and using more natural household cleaning supplies.
•

It also means choosing to shop and buy from companies that care about the way in which they do business- from their packaging, to their sourcing, to their carbon footprint and their sustainability practices. These are all things that we (the consumer) get to choose and vote with our 💵 You don’t have to make big changes to have an impact ⭐️

Friday SMOOTHIE for the win 💯
•

Ok I’ll admit it- I don’t really like smoothies 🙈 I love all the goodies in the smoothie, but I’d just rather eat it all instead of drink it. I think it’s a great way to get nutrients for those who need them, but I still believe in eating the food- chewing it, taking time to eat it (even if it’s 3.2 minutes because of ).
•

We usually add:
✔️ vanilla whey protein
✔️ collagen
✔️ Frozen fruit (berries, mango, etc.)
✔️ Frozen or fresh spinach
✔️ Whole milk or Whole Milk yogurt (we like or or )
✔️ A little juice if we have any
•

We mix it all up in our gigantic blender and voila! The kids LOVE them (even though we don’t make them often), and I will have a sip or two 😉
•

What do you like to put in your smoothies?
