Chicken Soup

Health is what I think about when I eat this soup. This recipe is rich in herbs and spices, all shown to positively affect your immune system. Along with mineral rich bone broth which helps heal the digestive tract, this is a pretty powerful soup. Plus, the coconut milk helps with the absorption of those nutrients, win! It also adds a creamy component that pairs beautifully with the turmeric and savory seasoning. I encourage you to add as many vegetables to this soup as you can! I always add extra celery because it doesn’t add bulk to this soup or…

Applesauce

This recipe highlights the natural sweetness of apples. I don’t add any sugar because it really doesn’t need it! You can use a blend of apples or stick to your favorite variety. I typically use a blend of honey crisp, pink lady, fuji, or opal (when I can find them). Tart or sweet, choose whichever apples suit you! After 6-8 hours in the crock pot all will taste just right. Store bought applesauce can’t compete with this homemade recipe. One of my favorite things is adjusting the cinnamon. I love bold cinnamon, so I make sure to use extra Vietnamese cinnamon…

Parsnip, Carrot, and Jicama Fritters

These fritters are delicious, easy to make, and filled with veggies and protein! I like them with fried eggs for breakfast and smothered in almond milk cream cheese for a snack! They’re even great re-heated, making them an excellent choice for meal prep. Print Parsnip, Carrot, and Jicama Fritters Play around with your vegetable mix! Most blends should turn out, just make sure you have enough eggs and flour to hold them together for frying. You could also try baking these, but the frying is what gives them their signature crispiness. Use the oven for…

Indoor Workout

Indoor workout!! All you need for this workout is a bench or ottoman, hip circle, and dumbbell. I used the thruster bench from Bret Contreras and not sure when it will be available, but it’s pretty awesome. I keep it inside and use it daily for mobility work and quick glute burnouts. I have two and it allows for tons of exercise variations! In this workout, I also use the S/M grippy hip circle band from Mark Bell at MB Sling Shot. Any thick band or mini bands will work though. You could even double up on the mini bands for…

Roasted Vegetable Soup

Gather a few vegetables, roast them, then blend with chicken broth. Could it get any easier for vegetable soup? I think not. Adapt this recipe with whatever you have on hand, but I recommend making the roasted carrots and ginger the stars of the show. Print Roasted Vegetable Soup Use a variety of vegetables for this one! The carrot and ginger tend to stand out the most, but play with the ratios if you're looking for something else. I especially like the roasted ginger in this recipe. It adds such a unique flavor. But…

Savory Potatoes

I’ve found you can roast just about anything, but roasted potatoes are especially delicious. They add the perfect crunch to your meals and the savory seasoning completes the crispy potato. This recipe is really quite simple, but such a staple. I love adding fresh rosemary or thyme, both make tasty compliments to the savory seasoning. I like my potatoes very crispy, so I use an oven temp of 415 degrees. This allows the potatoes to brown faster, which is what I’m looking for. If this temp is too hot for your oven, lower to 400 degrees and see how that…

Full Body Strength Workout & Glute Burnout

Here’s a great full body workout with a booty burnout to finish!! This is what a typical training day looks like for me. I like to start my sessions with my main lifts. For this workout it’s back squats with an upper body row. I chose a challenging weight for the back squats. Heavy enough that rep five was difficult, but not so hard that my form breaks down. Prioritizing quality movement is very important to me. For the rows, I used a bent leg and changed the tempo, counting to five seconds on the lowering portion. Circuit two, I…
