Every year, I tell myself I'm going to add more vegetables to my diet, but it's always harder than planned! This year, I've committed to making an easy veggie side or salad with every meal, and six months in, I'm definitely eating more veg! I found that my main issue was trying to do too much (especially after a tiring day), so I'd always fall off. So this year I focused on making the easiest sides that I can either prep ahead of time or whip up in minutes. Here are five of my favorite...

Hi Reader! Shrimp is one of my go-to proteins whenever I’m in a pinch. They’re quick to thaw, take on flavors easily, and they're fast to cook.

Not only are they perfect for a speedy weeknight dinner, but they're great for meal prep, too! Here are a few of my favorite shrimp recipes that you should definitely make this week!

Hi there Reader We are practically halfway through May, which means it's time for me to bug my partner to have him hook up the grill!

After I do the marinating, I get to kick back and relax ;) Here are five of my favorite summer grilling recipes that I can't wait to make again! PS. Serve with these easy purple cabbage salad...

Hi there Reader One of the pain points I had when I was at school or working morning/day shifts was making a healthy and filling breakfast beforehand. A lot of times I defaulted to McDonald's breakfast or a Tim Horton's cream cheese bagel. Now, I'm much more efficient in the mornings as I meal prep my breakfasts or have quick recipes that I can throw together on the days I don't sleep until the last possible minute. Here are some of the recent recipes I've been making on repeat! Mango Chia...
