Potato Breakfast Bowl
I’ve been on a breakfast kick lately. Usually, I’m pretty boring when it comes to breakfast. I either have scrambled eggs and toast, oatmeal with berries or a good ol’ smoothie! I don’t mix it up a whole ton, but lately, I’ve been trying different breakfast combinations, and I have to say, I’m really liking switching things up! Today, I thought it would be fun to share one of the recipes that I’ve been enjoying lately. I like eating this recipe in the morning after I workout because it has a good combination of carbs, protein, and good fats. You could also eat this for lunch if you’d prefer. Above…

Eat Seasonally: A Month by Month Look at Produce in Season
I generally try to eat food that’s in season. I’m by no means perfect at it but I have found that when I eat in season 1. the produce tastes better 2. It cost less! I get so excited when summer comes around because it seems like almost everything is in season! I can get fresh peaches, apricots, cherries, corn, strawberries, blueberries, and watermelon, just to name a few! The summer months are definitely the best time to stalk up on fresh fruit and vegetables, but you will always be able to find something year around. Today, I wanted to share with you what’s in season month by month, so…

Easy Dinner Recipe: Zucchini and Tomato Skillet
Do you ever have those nights where you want to eat something healthy but you don’t want to cook? You end up looking at the popcorn in your cupboard and decide that it is, in fact, a well-rounded meal. It’s not like I’m speaking from personal experience here or anything. 😉 Okay, but for real, I love to cook and I have some nights that I come home from work and I have dishes piling up, 1,000 pictures to edit, a laundry pile the size of Mount Borah, and absolutely no motivation to cook.

Veggie Wrap With Mango Salsa
Hi everyone! Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite easy lunches, my mango salsa wrap! I created this last summer and I find myself gravitating towards it when I don’t have much time for lunch. I usually have the veggies on hand but if I don’t have everything, I just mix and match to create something similar! My favorite veggies to put on my wrap are cucumber, spinach, cherry tomatoes, pepper, and avocado. Like I said, if you don’t have something on hand or you’re not a fan of one of these, just swap it out for something you do like! 🙂 I also like to put brown rice on…
