bang bang shrimp bowls
Easy recipes are my favorite, and there is nothing quite like this easy, sweet & spicy bang bang shrimp recipe! It takes less than 30 minutes to make, is macro-friendly, and is easily customizable depending on what veggies and carbohydrate you want to pair it with. I love to make this recipe into a bowl, but it can also be a salad, tacos, a wrap…you name it!
one pot hamburger helper
Shoutout to Yellowstone (IYKYK) for prompting me to try this classic dish and LOVING IT. I am all about taking dishes that could potentially be more of a “splurge” and lightning them up, and that’s just what I did with this! And NO flavor was compromised. I feel like Rip would be proud.
sweet bbq turkey meatballs
I love these turkey meatballs so much for weeks when I know I want grab ‘n go lunches that are also versatile! These are great to have over rice, with veggies, or even in a sandwich. They’re SO easy to make too, and hold up well in the fridge—perfect for meal prep!
bruschetta stuffed spaghetti squash
There are a million ways to enjoy spaghetti squash, but stuffed with bruschetta, chicken, and mozzarella is one of my favorite ways! I love spaghetti squash when I am looking for a lower carb, but still delicious option. This recipe makes two spaghetti squash bowls, but can easily be doubled to make more!
baked feta and butternut squash pasta
Remember the viral TikTok pasta that wiped all of the grocery stores clean of feta?! This pasta is the fall version, and is SO good. The method is pretty much the same, so it’s a super easy recipe to throw together.
firecracker ground turkey
Sweet Asian-inspired ground turkey with a buffalo kick! This is perfect to meal prep with some broccoli and rice for a well balanced and super easy meal. Comes together in less than 30 minutes! Serves 4.
burger salad
Over the last few years, the burger salad has quickly become one of my favorite meal preps for when I need something easy and macro friendly.
turkey tetrazzini squash bowls
This recipe has a special little place in my heart. Back in August, my mom told me that Granny wasn’t eating much because cooking had become too hard on her with her health. So, I decided to make her a Turkey Tetrazzini Casserole that she could easily pop into the microwave to heat up throughout the week. After dropping off the casserole to her, I received a super sweet text and even a shoutout on her Facebook. It really warmed my heart & made me so happy that I was able to do something to ease her pain a bit. Now that Granny has passed, Turkey Tetrazzini will always be one of those meals that brings back a memory with her that I am so grateful to have.
cheesy lemon pasta
Forever finding ways to include both CHEESE and LEMON in allllll my pasta dishes. This was such a simple recipe, and was a HIT (like multiple “mmmmmm’s” from the fiance) in our house. We paired this with a serving of chicken for extra protein and a veggie! Serves 4 as side portions or 2 as entree portions!
asian inspired glazed meatballs
However I AM giving you all a gift – these Asian Glazed Meatballs! This are so perfect for meal prep and the sauce is just chef’s kiss. I paired them with baby bok choy and jasmine rice for dinner, but swipe to see how I meal-prepped them for lunches! Makes about 26 meatballs!
chicken speidini skewers
These are perfect for meal prep, delish, and SO macro friendly! These pair amazing with salads, pasta, on a sandwich, you name it. Light and lemony flavor with a protein packed punch. Recipe serves 4!
chicken parmesan spaghetti squash
Spaghetti squash is one of my favorite ways to lighten up my favorite pasta dishes. Don’t get me wrong – the real deal is ALWAYS going to be my first choice, but it’s all about balance! Some days we eat ALL the pasta and some days we swap out a veggie for the noods. Luckily this Chicken Parm Spaghetti Squash is ALMOST as good as the real thing to satisfy those pasta cravings. Serves 2!
chicken parmesan pasta bake
Think chicken parm + meal prep casserole, and you’ve got this recipe. Great for meal prepped dinners, or feeding a group! Super customizable too – you can use reduced fat cheeses (or less cheese all together) to make this recipe lower in fat or substitute spaghetti squash instead of noodles for a low carb option!
twice baked potatoes
ICYMI! These bad boys were one of the sides for Rich and my Valentine’s Day dinner, and DANG were they good. More protein than your average twice baked potato, and ZERO grams of fat! The perfect side dish for when you have some carbs to play with, or loading it up with more veggies and protein could make this a great lunch as well! Serves 4 (each serving is ½ potato).
sundried tomato gnocchi
A super easy and delish weeknight meal full of cauliflower gnocchi, sun dried tomatoes, veggies, turkey sausage – oh my! If you’re looking for a lower fats meal, try subbing the turkey sausage for 99% lean ground turkey. We love a versatile recipe!
sheet pan chicken sausage & veggies with a lemon dill drizzle
On my Instagram account, sometimes I feel pressure to post new and exciting and unique recipes multiple times a week. I was thinking about this (again) recently because we have been super busy, and I just haven’t had a lot of desire to look involved meals!
fish taco bowls
Fish tacos…but make it a bowl. This meal was super easy, and very macro friendly! Air frying the tilapia was chef’s kiss. This recipe makes two, but it’s super easy to double it to meal prep for the week!
lighter penne alla vodka
One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is recreate recipes from restaurants that I have loved, but with a healthier spin. This is one of those recipes! The addition of shrimp, mushrooms, and air fried cauliflower gives this pasta a bit of a twist on regular Penne alla Vodka, and using @fibergourmet keeps it on the lightened up side. Recipe below! Serves 4. 🍝
