Packed to the brim with vitamins and fiber, it's so deep and rich and savory, you’ll be surprised there’s no meat, and even more surprised at how macro friendly it is.

I mean, you can steam them if that’s really how you prefer. But there’s a whole world of flavor out there! Your veggies don’t have to be bland and a necessary evil to your meals. Make them the star!

These are sweet, melt in your mouth and delicious. Whether you want them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I like to cook up a huge batch all at once as it saves me time throughout the week — just reheat and go!

It’s officially my favorite time of year. The weather is warming up and I’m so excited for the barbecue season. And what goes better with some grilled meat or a juicy burger than a side of fries? I love french fries, but they’re one of those foods that I eat mindlessly and before I know it I’ve consumed an excessive amount of carbs! Not that there’s anything wrong with carbs, but I thought, what if I could make them a little lower carb and really indulge? Plus, at any good barbecue, there are going to be a variety of delicious options, so you’ll want to have enough carbs to try everything.

Do you hear the words “Meal Prep” and instantly cringe at the thought of all the time and effort that needs to be put into that task?

Well, I am here to offer some assistance and help you prep for the week ahead in a very efficient and realistic way.
