If you’re heading to a holiday party, having some friends over to watch the big game, or just needing to keep a growing family fed during these colder winter months, this ultimate low carb lasagna is perfect. I like this recipe for a few reasons.  It’s such a hearty recipe with just a few carbohydrates. 

Knowing what to do with all that Thanksgiving leftover turkey can be exhausting, especially if you were one of the lucky ones who did all or some of the cooking.  Let’s face it – spending more time in the kitchen cooking food and cleaning is probably not high on your list of things to-do, but

If you’ve got some buddies coming over to watch sports or just need a weekend “treat” for a party or brunch, most definitely try my cheesesteak and avocado quesadillas. To make this meal calorie-conscious without compromising on flavor, I made a few swaps: I used less cheese (about 1/4 cup) by substituting in some fresh

If you’re having friends over to watch some sports over the weekend OR you need a new way to spice up your post-workout meal, look no farther than my “game day nachos,” aka mixed crispy potatoes and a quick chili recipe. Here is another way you can use arrowroot starch besides a sauce thickener –

I am kicking off another “cooking on the go” series with my friends at Hilton for their Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites properties to highlight just how easy it is to cook and enjoy calorie conscious meals while away from the comfort of your own kitchen.  Today, we’re taking it to the grill!

Here’s a quick recipe I put together using just the ingredients I had in my fridge and pantry.  If you only have 15 minutes, and a little bit of creativity, you can easily add variety to your diet and maximize both fresh and leftover ingredients to make a delicious meal.  For the beef sausage, I was

I can’t get enough of steak rolls!  They’re low carb, packed with protein, work great for meal prep, AND they’re delicious! I’ve been making them off and on for the past 5 years since I started eating healthier and discovered I didn’t have to give up beef.  Rolls are great for portion control because if

While many believe it’s best to stick with one type of diet, I actually have found it helpful to try out different diets throughout the year.  It keeps your diet fresh, enhances your understanding of food (and wellness) and

Winner winner chicken dinner! Chicken is one of the most popular animal proteins out there. I would say it’s one of the most popular healthy foods out there. But even though I find it’s so abundant, we have few ideas to freshen it up just a bit. So today I’m going to be walking you
