Trader Joes Grocery Haul coming atcha this FINEEE #MealPrepSunday as I plan this weeks menu! Save this post for some quick & easy dinner ideas this week! 👏🏼
.
WHAT I GRABBED & WHY:
— Organic Free Range Chicken Breasts: planning on making some 5 ingredient honey garlic crockpot chicken to have throughout the week. Recipe on the blog ✨
— Canned Tomatoes & Basil: Making more of my super easy no added sugar marinara from a couple posts back 🍅
— Cauliflower rice: been obsessed with making “lazy girl shrimp stir fry”. recipe coming to the blog soon! Also use this as a base for pretty much everything. 🍚
— Chili Lime Chicken Burgers: Love making “burger bowls” by cooking these on a skillet, adding them on top of cauli rice mixed with peas + topping with the pepita salsa & to-go packs of guac I snagged, & cottage cheese. 🍔
— Chicken Sausage: a fun change of protein to add to a bowl with sweet potatoes & greens, in pasta with red sauce, goat cheese + veggies, OR in an omelette. 🍝
— High Fiber Cereal: for my loaded yogurt bowls.. DUH. On my stories daily. IYKYK! 🥣
— Butter Lettuce & Radicchio mix: I legit eats this out of the bag like chips 😂 Also add it to wraps or use a base for salads with my crock-pot buffalo chicken on top! 🌱
.
.
Others: peanut butter, eggs, ground flaxseed meal, apples, tomatoes, greek yogurt, almond milk, kombucha & antioxidant face serum. 💁🏻‍♀️
.
Hope y’all found this helpful 💜💜

On Wednesday, I took a mental health day which I don’t think I’ve ever done before.
.
One of my intentions for 2020 was to be more of a leader, yet I feel like it’s been the year of comparison for me?
.
I have a running list of things I want to accomplish and instead of putting my head down and doing the work, I’m forever looking over my shoulder at what those around me are doing or how I stand in comparison to them.
.
I’m usually really good at staying in my own lane, but recently I’ve let the feeling of not enough speak louder than any other voice.
.
Feeling like my business isn’t growing quick enough, I’m not outgoing enough, I’m not interesting enough, or have enough value to offer. Continually asking myself “why does anyone want to follow me or even care what I have to say?”
.
I know these are lies and that God continually tells me I AM enough, but as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, it can quickly spiral into a dark tunnel if I don’t take care of these thoughts.
.
These feelings tend to creep up when I’m too focused on myself (which is easy to do when you spend day in and day out alone with your computer). Once I get outside of myself, spend time with others and focus more on what’s going on in someone else’s life than my own, the feelings begin to fade.
.
I’ve done a bad job of balancing relationships and my career. I’ve been too selfish with my time and although I wish I could go back and do it all over, all I can do is start fresh today.
.
Remember, your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Prioritize that. 💜

Indoor s’mores for when it’s 20 degrees outside but you can’t stop craving that chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker combo 🤤
.
I’ve treated this recipe like the middle child and for that, I’m truly ashamed 😔
.
These healthy whole wheat smores bars deserve allll the attention — am I right? 😜
.
Double tap to show these babies (and all those suffering from middle child syndrome) some love + respect 👏🏻
.
Hope everyone is staying warm 💜

NEW! Vegan Smashed Chickpea Salad Wrap that is here to change the LUNCH GAME 👊🏼
.
Raise your hand if you agree that lunch is the most boring meal of the day! *Raises both hands* 🤭
.
I pretty much eat the same thing for lunch every day (oh hiiii turkey sandwich or eggs + avocado toast) 🤪
.
There’s nothing wrong with these things, but it was time to switch it up + get a plant-based option in there, ya hurrddd ⁉️
.
Added my smashed chickpea salad to a wrap with fresh veggies, green goddess dressing, and hot sauce. It was the bomb dot com 💣
.
Next time im thinking I’ll add fresh avocado and banana peppers 👅 What about you? ❓

6 Ingredient No Added Sugar Marinara that is easy as 1,2,3! But seriously… 10000% going to be making my own from now on! 🍅
.
Tomatoes are sweet enough on their own, so adding sugar to pasta sauce is just not necessary IMO 🤭
.
Save this recipe so you never waste $7 on a jar of tomatoes + spices again 😜
.
INGREDIENTS:
— 28 oz. tuttorossotomatoes peeled plum tomatoes with basil, canned
— 1 tbsp olive oil
— 1/2 cup onion, diced
— 2 teaspoons minced garlic
— 1/4 cup tomato paste
— 1 tsp dried oregano
— 1/3 cup water
— salt and pepper to taste
.
.
HOW TO:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Once onions are browned and soft, add your garlic. Cook for another minute. Add whole tomatoes (with juice) and gently break apart with the spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Serve over spaghetti or enjoy in your favorite recipes. Freeze or refrigerate to store.
.
.
Feel free to add whatever herbs and spices you love and enjoy!! ✨

NEW! 5 Ingredient Crockpot Chicken Fajitas that are #Whole30approved, Keto, GF & Paleo for your #sundaymealprep!
.
The best part about crockpot chicken recipes is how tender and delicious the chicken turns out. 🤤
.
Cooking chicken low and slow while letting it simmer in delicious Mexican spices and tomato juice results in the most perfect shredded chicken fajitas! 👏🏼
.
Currently sitting at home with a sinus infection but I froze two containers of this a couple weeks ago and PTL I did because now dinner is ready to go tonight! 💃🏻
.
Hope you all love this #easyrecipe as much as Michael and I! 💜

Transparency, vulnerability, and honesty are KEY to building relationships. There’s nothing better than sharing your heart only to realize so many people relate to what you’re going through. 💜
.
In 2020 I said I’d be more transparent with my #reallifeeats & since lesserevilsnacks is 100% transparent about what ingredients go into their snacks this post seemed appropriate 👏🏼
.
Turkey wraps, popcorn, + apples dipped in cottage cheese have been my go-to lunch the last week or so. She ain’t glamorous but she sure is delish 🙌🏻
.
How do you plan on being more transparent in 2020 in an overly filtered world? ❓
.
Happy friday friends! 💜
.
.
dEATs: whole wheat wrap, turkey, Swiss cheese, pepita salsa, + greens. Lesser Evil no cheese cheesiness popcorn and pink lady apple with cottage cheese. 🍎

NEW! No Added Sugar Whole Wheat Banana Bread that is dairy-free, oil-free, only sweetened with fruit…. and still SUPER DUPER moist! Say whaaaat?? 🤯
.
This bread seriously has me wondering why I ever added sugar to my banana breads in the first place!? ⁉️
.
Stir in chocolate chips (I used no added sugar chocolate chips), your favorite nuts, or leave it plain + top with peanut butter! Either way you make it, you’re going to love it! 🙌🏻
.
Your kiddos, friends, and family will neverrr know it’s healthy 😉
.
Meal prep them into muffins for an on-the-go breakfast throughout the week OR save this recipe for some rainy day baking 💜

Anyone else running around like a crazy person still trying to play catch-up from the holidays? 😅
.
I’m 100% still trying to get into the swing of things (wuddup new house life) which has made my lunches pretty blahhh 🙃
.
Found these panerabread soups at the grocery store and I was like YES PLZ! I always order the soup + salad combo when I go to Panera, but for sure don’t have the time to eat out this week so it’s been my little lunch treat at home! 🙌🏻
.
I topped the chicken tortilla soup with feta and guac for some extra healthy fats + served it with cottage cheese + pretzels on the side — so freaking good 💃🏻
.
What’s your fav Panera soup!? ⁉️ | #paneraathome #panerapartner

This is your reminder that you have endless permission to eat no matter what. 💜
.
No matter if you’ve ran 10 miles or you’ve sat on your butt watching YouTube videos all day. No matter if you’ve already eaten three meals and two snacks or if you just woke up. No matter if you overate the night before or have fasted for 16 hours. ✨
.
My stomach has been a BOTTOMLESS pit the last few days 😳
.
I feel like I’m hitting a growth spurt or something because every two hours I’m like soooo where are the snacks 👀
.
A few years ago I never would have allowed myself to listen to those hunger cues. My “logic” would have taken over (hello INTJs) claiming “I can’t be hungry bc I’ve already had breakfast and lunch and didn’t even work out today?” 🙄
.
We don’t have to “earn” our food. Our bodies are smarter than we are. Don’t overthink it. Your body has got you. 💜
