A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and came across someone cooking on a Himalayan salt block.  I was pretty intrigued and ordered one right away to experiment.  It’s fantastic. It’s like having a well seasoned nonstick skillet and beautiful plate all in one.  You probably have some of the same questions I

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! Ever seen a

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

Every once in a while it’s nice to switch up your routine and try something different. 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

The weather was just too darn nice outside not to fire up the grill.  I didn’t have anything ready in the fridge so I rummaged the freezer and found a bison ribeye that I bought about 1 month ago from Kroger.  So I dropped the sealed bag in a bowl of lukewarm water to help it

Start out with a base – like lettuce, lean ground meat and tomatoes – then add different ingredients throughout the week! Here we will be teaching you how to prepare super delicious easy lunchbox meals.

One of my all-time favorite snacks and side items – prosciutto wrapped asparagus.  If you’re not a fan of ham, then use turkey or even beef bacon.  This version has a faint sage and maple flavor just in time for the holidays.  Remember, treat this as a side dish or a snack, not a full

A few weeks ago, my friends at Hilton invited me to check out their Homewood Suites property in Frisco, TX and create a meal or two using the amenities and kitchen utensils in one of the suites. Beyond the fact that the room was pretty spacious and the kitchen pretty much had everything except an

It’s a cajun rice dish of meat and rice and peppers. While it sounds pretty basic, the flavor is anything but. It’s not uncommon to see variations of

Whether you’re pressed for time or cash, eating healthy doesn’t have to be a chore.  All you need is a little creativity.  Spiralizing vegetables is a great way to “trick” yourself or your family into eating more vegetables.  Plus, they’re gluten-free and in the raw form, very hearty and filling. All you need is a

When the sun’s out this summer, your grill should be fired up and ready too!  Cooking on the grill is not only tasty, but it’s pretty efficient when it comes to meal prep.  You can place all of your meal prep foods on the grill and monitor them as needed. Think of the grill like a
