Menu fatigue? This sheet pan chicken artichoke and asparagus sheet pan recipe was a new one I came across and it was delicious!! Original inspiration from but used bones-less skinless thighs to cut down on the cooking time—which meant I could place everything on the sheet at once drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the spices. One pan & easy clean up!🙌🏻 don’t forget to pair with a carb for the perfect balance of macronutrients! I used a few slices of a crusty baguette because who wants to dirty another pot!??

A perfectly cooked soft boiled egg makes any meal feel special. I miss going out to brunch like no other, and this open-faced bagel sandwich is the perfect start to my day.

Pumpernickel bagel + veggie cream cheese + spinach + egg = filling, delicious, nutritious breakfast (or lunch or dinner!)

To Make the Perfect Soft Boiled Egg:
Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil (for real, wait for the big bubbles!)
Gently put in your eggs (I use the older eggs for easier peeling)
Set timer for 6.5 minutes
Remove eggs and run under cold water
Peel & enjoy!

*For more firm eggs, cook longer. Fully hard-cooked eggs take about 11 minutes.
*You can make these in advance and have soft-boiled eggs at the ready for an extra pop of protein!

Shortcut Ground Beef Kimchi Bowl.

Ground beef (93%lean) brown in a pan with 1 TBS soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 cube frozen minced garlic, 1 cube of frozen minced ginger, and for a little sweetness add 1 TBSP grated pear 🍐 (which I’ll credit that idea to the )

Serve with store bought kimchi, sliced cucumbers, cilantro, and steamed frozen brown rice or quinoa!

Many shortcuts taken but my favorite shortcut is the frozen minced garlic and ginger from Trader Joe’s...such a time saver yet so flavorful!

Don’t like kimchi? Maybe try pickled red onions for some color & texture!

Lunch inspo! Still satisfied from this Turkey, Avo 🥑, & Sprout 🌱 Sandwich.

Not So Hidden Butternut Squash High Protein Mac & Cheese 🧀

Dice the butternut small so it roasts in just 15 minutes at 400 degrees while you make the cheese sauce and boil the pasta!

I used protein plus penne pasta.

Simple Cheese Sauce Details—>
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups fairlife fat free milk
2 cups shredded cheese (I typically use a blend of gruyere and cheddar)
Salt, pepper, and I like to add 1/4 tsp smoked paprika!

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour, salt, pepper and paprika—blend until smooth. Pour milk slowly into the roux mixture while stirring until mixture is smooth and slightly thick, about 5 minutes. Add shredded cheese to milk mixture and stir until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

Pour cheese sauce over cooked protein pasta and fold in the roasted butternut squash!
