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?

Little Babe won’t be here until fall, but time already seems so very precious. I read recently that you only get 18 summers with your kiddos before they leave home and, SIS, I’m crushed. I haven’t even had ONE summer with my little and I’m already sad they will fly by too soon!

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.

I put together a round-up of suit styles I love for mamas, but really anyone who wants ease and comfort this summer.

For folks who grew up DREADING the mile run in P.E. class, VOLUNTARILY running 3.1 miles seems like total crazy town. But if you have been exercising a while, as you start to gain more confidence in your abilities, you will start to hear a little voice wonder… What if I could run?

You can work out in whatever makes you feel great. But function DEFINITELY takes the lead when it comes to footwear.

Color-coordinated sneakers are cool for at-home strength workouts or a casual stroll, but if you’re hitting the pavement with outdoor runs, make sure those tootsies are well cared for!

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.

Joining us for physical workouts is one small part of a life that prioritizes social, emotional, and spiritual health too. These dimensions don’t exist in a vacuum. Here are my tips for prioritizing your overall health with an energetic morning routine.

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.

Some Christian traditions call for followers to make a sacrifice in the weeks leading up to Easter. My small town and the surrounding communities are predominately Catholic. Lots of people give up little vices like candy or soda, but as a whole, Catholics don’t eat meat (except for fish) on Lenten Fridays.

I have a half-dozen GEMS for you this week in my Healthier Chocolate Recipes collection.

This week I’m sharing some of my favorite things that make meal prepping even easier with my favorite kitchen gadgets guide.
