This month, we’ve been on a budget, pay off debt kick, so I’m really trying to meal plan and stick to eating at home mostly. We have tons of salmon in the freezer, so I’m super inspired to save money by creating salmon meals until I have no more salmon left! :)
Part of my “therapy” in how I cope with the crazy of the world is cooking and coming up with delicious yet nutritious and easy recipes for the busy mama or woman! If you’re needing some recipes, make sure you follow along on my Instagram stories. And subscribe to our newsletter!

So I just finished week 5 of Transform 20 of Beachbody, and I feel pretty incredible! But more so than anything, I’ve really tried to focus on nutrition. When we opened our first restaurant Eggs Up Grill (Killian), I gained 10 pounds taste testing everything on the menu! Before that, I ate 90/10 vegan, and my body was not use to all the gluten, cheese, and blueberry muffins I was consuming! We have such great breakfast and brunch food, but now that we are in quarantine because of the Coronavirus, we are forced to cook to stay indoors and away from our beloved restaurant (outside of take out orders). So now that I am forced to cook more, I am loving making healthier meals! If you’re needing some recipes, make sure you follow along on my Instagram stories. And subscribe to our newsletter!
So I just finished week 4 of Transform 20 of Beachbody, and I feel pretty incredible! But more so than anything, I’ve really tried to focus on nutrition. When we opened our first restaurant Eggs Up Grill (Killian), I admittedly, I gained 10 pounds taste testing everything on a weekly basis. Such great breakfast and brunch food if I do say so myself! :) Now that we are in quarantine because of the Coronavirus, we are forced to cook more meals which has been super fun! I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen! So if you’re needing some recipes, make sure you follow along on my Instagram stories. And subscribe to our newsletter!

So I just started week 3 of Transform 20 of Beachbody, and I feel pretty incredible! But more so than anything, I’ve really tried to make healthier meals! Owning two breakfast/brunch restaurants (Eggs Up Grill) really makes it difficult to eat healthy when I want to eat all of the breakfast gluten and sugar filled goodness! But I’m really trying to focus on eating well most of the time! So if you’re needing some recipes, make sure you follow along on my Instagram stories. And subscribe to our newsletter!

So I just finished week 2 of Transform 20 of Beachbody, and I feel pretty incredible! But more so than anything, I’ve really tried to clean up my diet. Owning two breakfast/brunch restaurants (Eggs Up Grill) really makes it hard to eat healthy at times. I want to eat a grilled Blueberry muffin daily. Or our amazing french toast! Yummm! But since I am trying to eat healthier, I’m really focusing on whole foods, easy recipes, clean ingredients! This one wasn’t as “clean as I wanted it to be”, but because of the Coronavirus I had to improvise with some of the usual ingredients!

So I am in week 2 of Transform 20 of Beachbody, and I feel pretty incredible! But more so than anything, I’ve really tried to clean up my diet. Owning two breakfast/brunch restaurants (Eggs Up Grill) really takes a toll especially in the busyness of life and being the ultimate taste tester of the menu! Our grilled blueberry are to die for, so I’ve really had to clean up my diet. We were vegan for about 4 months, and we felt pretty good on it! But I’m not certain it’s a lifestyle we can choose forever with our four kids and restaurants! So I really wanted to focus on cleaning up my diet while enjoying the foods I love in moderation! With that, I feel great when I’m not eating processed sugar and gluten. So this month, I am really focusing on gluten-free sugar free recipes!

Now that we are all quarantined because of the Coronavirus, it has been fun cooking healthy meals again!

So I felt like I was losing myself again. In the busyness of restaurant ownership, homeschooling, bible studies, and all of the things, I started putting myself on the back burner with my health! About a year ago, I tried Beachbody and absolutely loved it. With our busy schedule, the at-home workouts just fit! So after a year of trying the workouts and such, in April, I’m hosting my very first fitness challenge! Woohoo! Click here for more info!
So I’m in week 2 of Transform 20 (one of my favorite programs, and my love language may be making healthy meals! :) So here is one of my faves!
So my husband and I went vegan about 7 weeks ago, and it was very hard at first. I missed Chick Fila number 1 with Lemonade. I missed having a burger after church each Sunday, and I missed eggs and cheese and all of the things. But we really wanted to focus on a plant based vegan diet, and I knew the benefits outweighed my desire for Chick Fila Chicken Sandwich. So here is one of my favorite vegan recipes right now!
My husband came to me a few weeks ago saying he wanted us to try “plant based". Now anyone who knows my amazing husband knows that he doesn’t like green anything (outside of green beans), so I was very shocked to say the least! But I prefer plant based and was an 80/20 vegan for 2 years (only eating meat on Sunday and Tuesdays….yes I know…I’m a bit crazy like that). So eating vegan/plant based vegan was not a new concept for me. I feel better, lighter, healthier, and my skin always feels so amazing. I have more energy, I don’t feel sluggish, and my mental clarity seems to really benefit from plant based eating. So here’s one of my favorite vegan recipes I created!
My son had a dentist appointment directly following a long day at school. This transition from homeschool to two kids at Ben Lippen has been such a great experience for our family, but Grayson, our oldest boy, says that 7 hours at school is far too long for his liking. I agree, bud. I agree. So following a long day at school, Grayson had to get a cavity filled and getting a shot was not his favorite thing in the world. He was such a trooper so I took him to Publix, and said he could pick out his favorite dinner meal. He chose crab legs. Now, my husband worked at a Seafood restaurant for 20 plus years, but we rarely have made crab legs at home. I grew up on the coast where fresh seafood was always available, and my uncle would always steam crab legs, blue grab, and so much more, so I knew a thing or two when it came to the recipe!
