Strawberry and Peach Smoothie

Strawberry and Peach Smoothie

Strawberry and Peach Smoothie

Smoothies are one of those things that we tend to make more of in the summer months. When it’s hot outside, sometimes all you want is something cold and nourishing. I love that I can pack my smoothies with good for you ingredients and that they always taste delicious too. I tend to use fruit that is in season and buy it in bulk and then freeze some of it when it gets perfectly ripe and sweet. Peaches are particularly great for this because they ripen so quickly. This recipe for my strawberry and peach smoothie tastes like a milkshake, I kid you not, and you are going to love making it all summer long!

Skillet Eggy Jambalaya Breakfast Bake

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Jambalaya is a classic Cajun dish that is full of flavor and one of my favorite rice dishes to enjoy. Typically it is served at dinnertime and sometimes can be tricky to get the rice just right. Lucky for you, I have a shortcut way to enjoy jambalaya any time of day thanks to the help of my friends at Tony Chachere’s. I used Tony Chachere’s jambalaya dinner mix to make you a delicious breakfast or brunch idea that will not disappoint and the rice comes out perfect every time. This recipe for my skillet eggy jambalaya breakfast bake is hands down my new favorite easy meal to whip when I want a savory breakfast that is full of flavor.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

7-Day Healthy Meal Plan

Let’s just call January a wash shall we? It was a transition month where we all found ourselves easing into a new year and maybe we hit our new years goals, orrrr maybe we didn’t or haven’t yet. In my case, I didn’t and honestly didn’t even try to start, so I am starting fresh in February! I am not a huge fan of new years resolutions, but I do love a good reset when I find I need it and I’m at that point where I need to go a couple of weeks of eating super clean. I created this 7-Day Meal Healthy Meal Plan to help us all get a little inspired to eat a little more mindful without sacrificing any flavor!

This recipe is great for easy meal prepping and I find that it really does make a difference when I have something like this ready to go on rushed mornings and when my afternoon sweet tooth kicks in.
