Buffalo Cauliflower with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing
Let's be honest: there are some dishes that just can't be duplicated or “made healthy.” For me, one of those dishes is buffalo hot wings. I love a good wing -- I’m partial to the flats and can expertly finish one in one bite! And while they do offer a good amount of protein, deep fried chicken skin tossed in butter and hot sauce is not the healthiest choice. That being said, I want to preface ...
Tropical Green Smoothie
With summer right around the corner and temperatures rising, I'm craving lighter, easier meals. This tropical green smoothie definitely fits the bill.

Cauliflower is high in Vitamin C, helps fight inflammation, and improves digestion and ...
Baba Ganoush
I started making baba ganoush when I did my first Whole30. At the time, I was obsessed with hummus and had no idea how I would go an entire 30 days without my favorite dip. It was a serious problem. I did a little research and found that baba ganoush was a similar style dip, but instead of chickpeas, it is made with roasted eggplant. At that time there were not as many “Whole30” approved ...
Apricot Energy Balls
I am loving the clean eating fad! I feel great when I’m eating whole, unprocessed food; however, it’s not always convenient to eat this way on the road (or in the friendly skies). As a flight attendant, I love foods that travel well and I can take with me! I do a lot of meal prep before a trip and typically I only eat foods that I have brought with me. This saves calories and money, and generally, ...
