Banana Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

The Perfect, Cozy Make-Ahead Breakfast! I got really interested in baked oatmeal this winter, as it seemed like an easy #mealprep option and we were getting ready to welcome our baby girl into this world in February. Needless to say, I went a bit meal prep (freezer prep) crazy and I enjoyed many versions of baked oatmeal since our daughter was born! I found that not only is baked oatmeal a perfect meal prep option for the upcoming week, but it also freezes so well for long-te

Banana Maple Flavored Baked Oatmeal

Warm, Sweet and Cozy Banana Maple Flavored Baked Oatmeal *This post was created in partnership with PepsiCo This recipe is definitely one of my favorite recipes that I have ever created! It is so simple but soooo delicious and it makes a great make-ahead breakfast option (so you can snooze a bit longer and still enjoy a warm, cozy breakfast with a "just-baked" feel). This baked oatmeal tastes like a breakfast-style banana bread pudding with a warm, maple flavor - which is per

Delicious Egg Muffins Filled With Broccoli and Cheddar I love making all kinds of egg muffins with different mix-ins because they're so simple to make and they allow me to have a quick and easy breakfast that's prepped and ready to go on busy mornings! You probably know by now that I always say, "make once, eat a bunch" and these egg muffins are no exception.

A Mini Western Omelet in Every Egg Muffin Bite! I'm a little bit obsessed with egg muffins - partly because they're such a simple #mealprep staple and partly because they're so delicious! I've been playing around with different mix-ins and these Western Omelet style egg muffins are one of my new favorites! I've been loving this Canadian bacon from a local farm near me and I knew that it would be delicious in an egg muffin, so I couldn't wait to try it. These egg muffins are s

Easy, Classic Lasagna With A Twist!

Baked Lasagna with Beef, Zucchini and Cheese Lasagna just screams comfort food and lately, I have been craving alllllll of the comfort food. Isn't it interesting how food isn't just fuel - it's tradition, connection, passion and love? Certainly all things that I'm craving over 2 months into this quarantine! Of course, I love my veggies, so even in a classic lasagna dish, I like to add those veggies! I've been going to a local farm to get frozen, pasture-raised ground beef, lo

Protein-Packed, Easy Egg Muffins

Easy Baked Egg Muffins with Veggies and Feta I love making egg muffins because they take so little time and effort to prepare and they're a great #mealprep item so you can - as I say - make once, eat a bunch! Plus, they can easily be made from items that have a longer shelf life, which is ideal for right now (because, #quarantine). You can always sub out fresh veggies for frozen - and any other type of vegetable depending on what you have available. The eggs plus cottage chee

Honey Cinnamon Granola

Honey Cinnamon Granola with Oats, Pecans, Cacao Nibs and Dried Mulberries This is hands down the best granola I've ever tasted - and I'm not just saying that because I made it. It's light and flavorful and perfectly crunchy! It also contains only 5 grams of sugar per serving and is full of fiber, protein and healthy fats! It's perfect as a topping for yogurt, smoothie bowls, cereal and fruit or on its own straight out of the container. Also, this is a great #mealprep item, si

Creamy Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

This homemade mac and cheese is creamy and filled with protein and fiber, making it a more balanced choice when you want a warm bowl of creamy mac! The pureed cauliflower actually helps to make this dish super creamy and more filling. Plus, it's loaded with a bunch of other veggies (zucchini, spinach, garlic) to round out the meal. Also, it can easily be adjusted to be dairy free, vegan or gluten free if you have any dietary restrictions! Simply swap the milk and cheese for n

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan, Lightened Up! Eggplant parmesan is hands down one of my favorite dishes. However, I don't always love how I feel after eating a fried dish. I like to bake foods that are traditionally fried, in order to lighten them up and prevent that heavy, greasy feeling that can sometimes accompany a fried meal (check out my Baked Buffalo Cauliflower and my Easy, Cheesy, Baked Jalapeño Poppers for some other examples of fried foods that have been tried, tested and vette

Cream-Free Potato Leek Soup

Vegan, Gluten Free Potato Leek Soup This potato leek soup tastes just as hearty as the traditional version, but it doesn't contain heavy cream, butter - or any dairy, for that matter. It also happens to be gluten free, so it's suitable for many dietary needs. Additionally, it's a great option for athletes and active individuals, since it provides necessary carbohydrates (and potassium) from the russet potatoes - both important nutrients needed for recovery from a grueling wor

Protein Packed Ziti

Easy Ziti with Beef and Veggies This pasta dish is a complete meal that can feed a hungry team, or serve as an easy #mealprep staple (so that you can cook once and enjoy leftovers multiple times throughout the week). It can be altered in many ways to meet your needs and tastes, but I like to use extra lean ground beef and a whole wheat or legume-based pasta for additional protein and fiber. Also, this dish sneaks in a ton of veggies that even picky eaters will love to eat! Pr

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers with Chickpeas, Veggies and Farro This dish was the result of me realizing that I had a lot of bell peppers left toward the end of the week, a few random veggies and not-a-whole-lot-else around! However, the result was delicious, nutritious and has now been on repeat in our household and I'm so excited to share this recipe with you! Farro and chickpeas provide plant-based protein and fiber, so this dish is hearty, filling and full of plant-based goo

Easy One-Pot Beef Chili

I love chili in the winter - not only is it warm(temperature-wise), but it's spicy! It is the ultimate comfort food in our house and it's easy to make a big batch and use it as leftovers for the week (because #mealprep shouldn't mean spending a whole weekend in your kitchen)! My beef chili recipe contains two types of beans and is hearty, spicy and a no-mess meal that serves a bunch of people! If you don't love beef or if you are serving food for those who don't eat it, swap

It's also gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free and kid-approved (and kid-friendly to make!) making it a great option for many different dietary needs. These deviled eggs are creamy, with just the right amount of smoky flavor (from the smoked paprika) and offer up protein, along with vitamins and minerals, s
