Our community is made up of women with all sorts of responsibilities, but we are all busy in our own way. It is hard to keep our nutrition at the forefront with all that we are juggling. That’s why every season I share a new freebie for enjoying meals (or treats) away from home. For a morning caffeine buzz or afternoon pick-me-up, order one of the ten drink ideas I put together for this week.

There’s no better way to handle a busy schedule than with a slow cooker.

This week I’m sharing a Crockpot recipe for every day of the week! I have the classics you would expect, like noodle dishes and soups, along with ones you might not, like chicken teriyaki.

Our opinions on the best team might vary, but everyone agrees on the best appetizer for a Midwest tailgate: Ham and pickle roll-ups.

Amiright?

Ok, if I’m not right, I have seven other healthy tailgate appetizer options in this week’s freebie.

If you read a nutrition label you will find calories at the top. You might notice a can of Mountain Dew has the same calorie measurement as two hard-cooked eggs and a handful of baby carrots. Does that mean they offer the same benefits to your body? Definitely not.

I’ve included sheet pan recipes in round-ups in the past (See here for 12 Easy Meal Prep Recipes) but this week is totally dedicated to this fast food favorite.

There are so many ways to add pumpkin to your day. I created a resource with six different to show how versatile this superfood ingredient can be. Whether for breakfast, snacks, or desserts, pumpkin makes a delicious addition.

This week I’m sharing five great recipes for busy weeknights. Each highlights a different strategy for getting meals together quickly.

Protein is the building block of the body. If building muscle is your goal (which, of course it is!) you need to increase your protein intake as well.

You’ll get plenty of movement in around the fair, water park, and theme park this summer, but staying on track with macros can be a bit more of a challenge. I put together a list of my favorite macro-friendly food options.

I put together a summer list for you to get an idea of what Aldi has to offer. Scroll to the bottom of this post for a link to your printable list delivered to your email. You’ll find the list divided by meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snack type (protein or carb).

Sometimes I can’t even be bothered to put my burger on a bun!

Ok, nobody is THAT busy. But plenty of people can do without white-bread-quick-carbs. Hear me out. What about a burger…. Salad?

This week I rounded up NEW summer recipes all best served cold. You’ll need to boil the pasta for the Italian pasta salad with homemade dressing, but other than that, you don’t even need to cook.

For the days when you can’t even plan on a microwave, I put together prepped + packed lunch recipes. They are all delicious served cold, so throw an ice pack in your lunch box and face the day!

Does anyone else wake up completely RAVENOUS? Or are you more of a hangry-at-10-and-reach-for-literally-anything?

Either way, it’s best to plan ahead for how you’re going to BREAK your FAST after catching those Zzzzzs. 

This week I’m sharing my top ten options for a macro-friendly, meal-prepped breakfast.

We’re going to need something cold and green STAT! I have just the recipe with my healthier Sisterhood Shamrock Protein Shake.

Next time you’re out in a group, go ahead and help yourself to fast food that fits your macros. You don’t have to avoid going out so you can stay back and eat your meal-prepped lunch.
