Looking for an easy meal that’s ready in 20 minutes and made all in one skillet?
Enter this chicken skillet with zucchini, bell peppers, and brown rice. Packed with protein and fiber to help keep you full and high adaptable to whatever vegetables you have in kitchen this week! Swap out your favorite grains / vegetables and make all your own.
Okay, time flies. Because how is it that I have already been in Chicago for almost three weeks?
Do you guys have a favorite leafy green?
Truthfully, I’m one of those people that likes all her greens but if I had to pick one, it would be arugula. It belongs to our beloved cruciferous family (think kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower) and takes a salad to the next level with its peppery taste and bite. I like kale and spinach just as much as your average health fanatic, but arugula’s unique characteristics add that “something extra” to a salad that you actually want to eat.
The other day on Pinterest I started pinning crockpot recipes for fall….too soon?
I guess with Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale (and all the fall goods that drained my savings account) and the marathon training runs in 100 degree weather, I’m looking for a little cooler situation on the horizon.
One way to beat the heat? Summer smoothies, obviously. Served icy cold with all the summer berries!
Today I’m sharing 6 lunch ideas of mine from the past few weeks – sad desk lunch no more! I like to bring my lunch to work because a) it saves money b) it gives me the flexibility of having healthy options that I actually want to eat. Also, it’s fun for me – there’s something about an incredibly organized lunchbox that gives my OCD mindset all the feels.
Fun fact: I brought my lunch to school every single day all through elementary, middle, and high school. Needless to say, I’ve got some experience under my belt. However, gone are the days of Lunchables and Capri Suns – the current brown bag situation is SO much better (healthier, tastier, and overall more kick-ass.)
Each of these lunches are as easy as the title says – prep them the night before and grab and go in the morning!
This past Saturday was the opening day of this year’s Charleston’s Farmer Market, aka one of the best times of the year!
And just in time for the Low Country Local First’s Eat Local Challenge. I’m excited to be blogging about my experience with local buys/eats during the month of April.
