I am not good about meal planning over the weekend. I think it's because that part of my brain turns off when Friday rolls around. So Monday for me is when I plan out my week and figure out all of our meals. One thing is for sure when I am planning, and that is all of the meals have to be EASY and relatively fast too! I recently did a round-up of my top ten easy weeknight meals, and this recipe that I am sharing with you today could easily get added to that list! My spiced citrus fennel braised chicken thighs and carrots should most certainly be added to your weeknight dinner rotation!

A healthy lifestyle is something I strive to have for myself and for my family. Along with staying active, I believe the main aspect of staying healthy starts with your diet! That's why making healthy swaps like MaraNatha Almond Butters perfect for healthy snacking and recipe additions to any meal makes staying on track even easier. I love that I can shop at my local Walmart and get all of the ingredients that I need to create a delicious and healthy meal that my whole family will love! My almond butter Asian chicken and veggie soba noodle salad is the perfect lunch to meal prep and enjoy all week long!
After a weekend where I indulged in a few too many tacos, because Cinco de Mayo and all, I am definitely craving some lighter dinners this week. We tend to have salmon almost every week and I am always looking for new flavor combinations to switch things up so we don't get tired of eating it. Recently I have been slightly obsessed with miso, so I decided to make a marinade for the salmon that highlights the delicious miso flavor that I am loving so much! My easy miso glazed salmon is the perfect healthy weeknight dinner served alongside your favorite veggie for a super quick and delicious meal!

Mother's Day is right around the corner and my hubby asked me the other day what I wanted to do to celebrate. I honestly couldn't really think of much specifically and then it dawned on me... On Mother's Day it would just be nice if maybe someone else took care of me for a change! That can look like a lot of things, but something simple like preparing a beautiful brunch for the mamas in your life can mean the world to her! I have created the perfect simple brunch for any Mother's Day celebrations that you may have! Surprise the sweet mamas in your life with my delicious Earl Grey Lemon Scones and Iced Green Tea, and make her feel extra special this Mother's Day!
It's officially grilling season here in Texas and I'm a sucker for a good burger! I love playing around with different flavor combinations and cooking them at home allows me to control my ingredients and create a burger that is somewhat healthy too! 80% of the time I crave just a regular cheeseburger, but every now and then I get a craving for something a little different. My harissa chicken burgers with citrus mint feta spread are so full of flavor and are perfect to grill up all summer long!
My weekly routine has been out of whack the past couple of weeks. My gym days have been off, my diet has been decent but not great, and the reality is...that's just life sometimes. This week is the first week in a while that I feel like will be back to normal "ish" again and one thing that is going to help me stay on track is meal prepping my lunches! This means that I won't find myself eating junk and I will have a nutritious meal ready to go whenever I get hungry! My healthy curried chickpea salad is just the kind of recipe that is perfect to meal prep at the beginning of the week!
