You all know how much I love that phrase and I suspect it’s high on your list as well, right? OK, maybe not. That’s why every weekend I take 30 minutes and plan out our meals for the week. T

Ignoring the rain in the forecast today, it finally feels like spring might be here. This past weekend was absolutely stunning and by the end of this week, we’re supposed to be in the 80’s. And when the weather warms up, salads become my go-to for dinner. Today on the blog I’m sharing what I will be eating this week for dinner.

What’s for dinner mom? It’s one of my most dreaded questions. Today on the blog I'm sharing what we'll be enjoying for dinner each night.

One of the best ways to ensure success on the FASTer Way to Fat Loss? Preplan your meals! Not just some, but all. When you preplan, you know what you're eating, when, and if it fits within your macros.

Oh my! I thought I had hit the jackpot when I tried the seven-ingredient freezer fudge but that changed when I found this Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Fudge. I like simple, healthy recipes that don’t take long to make and this one fits the bill. It’s perfect for a low carb night when I’m low on calories and want a little something extra to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I’m always on the lookout for great new dinner recipes that combine a healthy dose of good-for-you carbs, fats, and protein and was super excited to try this recipe from Half Baked Harvest. While the ingredients remain the same as the original recipe, I have changed some of the prep work to optimize taste. This was easy to make and everyone loved it. It’s great for a family dinner or a casual get-together.

These tacos have been on repeat for the past two weeks. Not just once a week, either. Over the past three weeks, I think these have made an appearance on our dinner table no fewer than six times. They are just that good. And they couldn’t be simpler to make.

Who doesn’t love the Super Bowl? Even if you aren’t a football fan, there is something to be said about watching the TV commercials, listening to the performers sing, the tasty snacks and being with family and friends. Personally, I don’t care about the game. But the commercials and the food? Count me in! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite healthy Super Bowl treats for you to enjoy.

While I love chocolate and peanut butter fat bombs, sometimes I need something a bit more refreshing to satisfy my sweet tooth. So when I saw this recipe for raspberry lemon fat bombs I knew I had to try it.

Monday’s are busy in our house. It’s a late day for the kids (school, soccer, and basketball), there’s homework to be done, and inevitably I’m running late from work or stuck in traffic. To top it off, Monday is a low carb day for all of us in the FASTer Way and if I haven’t planned something quick and easy that fits my macros, it simply won’t happen.

If you’re part of my FASTer Way bootcamps, you know Saturday is the day to enjoy a little some extra. My clients have worked hard all week and on Saturday, they’ve worked their largest muscle group (legs).

Sleep is critical if you’re looking to lose weight or burn fat. If you’re not getting a good night sleep, you’re going to have a tough time shrinking that midsection. Why?

There is nothing better for a cold, wet day than a piping hot bowl of soup. I love creamy soup but don’t do diary, so I’m always on the lookout for options that are healthy and dairy free. This recipe for tomato soup yields a super rich, creamy, delicious bisque.

On low carb days it can be difficult for my clients to find dinners that are simple, nutritious, and that everyone will love. This is one of my go-to items because it nails all three things.

When it’s cold and rainy outside, there isn’t anything I like better than comfort food. So this past weekend when it was absolutely dumping outside I went searching for a healthier version of one of my childhood favorites, the chicken pot pie.

Chia seeds are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. It’s crazy that something so small could be so incredibly good for you. These tiny seeds are loaded with good-for-you nutrients that benefit both your body and your brain. Here is one of my favorite recipes to incorporate chia seeds into your diet.

I love to travel and whether for work or pleasure, that means I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in flight. I love a good flight to catch-up on work, watch the latest movie, or just have a moment to myself. What I don’t like? The germs and the lack of healthy food options.
