Who's here for the protein-packed meals that not only nourish, but taste GREAT too. Who's also fallen in love with cottage cheese as a result? Yep, me too. And that's why this recipe is so perfect. Protein (plus creaminess and so much great flavor) from my favorite cottage cheese, nourishing fat from the best olive [...]
As requested (a lot) after posting this quick how-to on Instagram, here is my latest go-to breakfast to start my day with a whole bunch of satiating, energy-giving, nutrient-dense protein. And it's all thanks to cottage cheese. With the demands of breastfeeding, motherhood, fitness, work, and adventure, I've been very intentionally consuming LOTS of protein [...]
Made some edits 4+ years later with an almost 5 year old Evie and new baby sis, Indie Bo. Something about postpartum makes me CRAVE THESE CUPS. It's likely because they're nutrient dense, energy packed, and fat-filled. I made some tweaks to upgrade them, and I hope you love them as much as I do! [...]

If having a newborn has taught me anything (it's taught me a lot actually), it's that having easy to grab, nutrient and energy dense, balanced foods on hand is IMPERATIVE. I've had a few wonderful friends bring me date balls of varying sorts that I can store in the fridge and grab as needed. Those [...]
Snacking: the topic brings up some deeply rooted emotions and opinions in people. Here's mine summed up into one simple concept. I think it's best to eat 4 meals a day made up of a balanced ration of deeply nourishing protein, carbs, and fat. Here's the reality: life gets crazy, and snacking is often times unavoidable [...]
Considering I'm just 8(ish) weeks out from being a mom (woah), I'm starting to wrap my mind around the craziness that will ensure, especially in the first few weeks of breastfeeding, changing diapers, holding baby girl, and likely sleeping very little. Somewhere in there, it will be imperative that I eat. You know, food is fuel [...]
As I mentioned a few posts ago, I am not a huge supplement person. In my opinion, we can get most, if not all, of the nourishment we need from real, organic, properly raised food. There are, however, some key exceptions to this, and with that being said only a few key supplements that fit the [...]
Earlier this week, after a grueling CrossFit workout, I had a serious hankering for muffins after a friend mentioned making some for her kiddo. I am big believer in listening to cravings. And I knew that I needed some extra protein to refuel and to prep for the busy day ahead. After a quick perusal of [...]
