I am always down for a good cookie. Since I always have peanut butter on hand and it seems to make a good cookie base, I decided to create a new peanut butter cookie recipe. Instead of being flourless like some of my other cookies, I used a new gluten-free flour that I recently bought. I don't love it on its own because it does have a unique flavor BUT with the maple syrup, peanut butter and chocolate chips in this recipe, it is absolutely perfect! I initially bought the flour because it was a little healthier than some other gluten-free flour mixes - it is made out of beans so it has more fiber and protein than most other mixes, less calories and less carbs. It also doesn't taste grainy like I have found other mixes to be. These cookies are AMAZING. You can't tell they are gluten-free cookies (made out of beans nonetheless) AND they are super pillowy and soft. They are easy to whip up and I have already made them several times. If you want to try out a new healthy cookie recipe - you need to give this one a whirl!  Servings: 24

I love a good turkey burger. I do enjoy a beef burger every once in awhile but when I do, I prefer to get a specialty one out at a restaurant. When I make them at home, I usually choose to make them with lean ground turkey. These burgers are the perfect texture, flavor and density...you won't miss the beef! Make it a filling meal by pairing it with sugar snap peas and hummus.  Servings: 4

This is another of our go-to recipes when we don't feel like planning or thinking about what to eat. We normally have frozen chicken and rice on hand so those weeks where we don't want to put in much effort, we can still make a basic, healthy meal. This is a great recipe for a beginner cook or just for those busy nights!  Servings: 4

When it comes to lunch recipes I like to keep it pretty simple. I don't want to spend a ton of time prepping for the week. What I tend to do most often is plan my lunch for the week and have it overlap with what I am making for dinner on Sunday. That way, I don't have to cook a bunch of different recipes on Sunday...I want to enjoy my weekends doing fun things and that normally doesn't involve cooking all day. While that can be fun on certain occasions, I just don't want to put too much time into it for a normal work week and I know you probably don't either. So for this chicken sandwich I ended up making something with chicken for dinner on Sunday and made an additional 12 servings of just the chicken for the week for Josh and I. I kept the flavors pretty basic and simple so we could switch it up in different recipes if we wanted - baked potato with veggies and chicken, chicken fajita/burrito/rice bowl, chicken salad, a chopped salad, chicken with rice and broccoli, etc. But normally we just keep it simple and stick with sandwiches. This sandwich is great paired with some chips and fruit to make it a complete meal! We end up leaving 1-2 days worth of chicken in the fridge and then freeze the rest. We take the chicken out of the freezer a day or so ahead of time so it can thaw and be ready to heat up again quick before we eat it.  Servings: 6

While I do enjoy cooking, I don't want to spend my whole night making dinner and I especially don't want to spend the rest of the night cleaning up and doing dishes. I try to create recipes that are not only healthy and delicious - but quick to make and easy to clean up! That is how this recipe was born. I love fish and try to eat it a few times a week. Honestly, I don't like touching and preparing raw meat or fish and it is something Josh does a lot of the time while I do the sides. BUT when I do make the full meal, I try to do it in a way where I don't have to handle it that much so I tend to bake a lot of my proteins. This meal is so easy because while you are cooking the fish and veggies in the oven, the quinoa is cooking on the stove. In about 20 minutes, you have a fancy looking, fresh meal!

About MeI am a food loving, activity seeking health coach who resides in Franklin, TN with my husband and two sweet dogs (Lola & Penny). AllergiesI believe everyone should eat balanced and not cut food groups if you don't medically need to. All foods can fit in a healthy diet. Unfortunately, I have to avoid gluten and also limit myself with dairy, so my goal is to provide healthy, gluten-free/dairy-free recipes so EVERYONE can enjoy all foods, even if you do have to cut out certain food groups. My recipes are encouraged for everyone to eat, not just for those with sensitivities/allergies! Most of my recipes can be easily converted by using real dairy and whole-wheat in place of my allergy-free substitutes. SearchLooking for something specific?
