Feeling a little bit of normalcy around here after Feeling a little bit of normalcy around here after a crazy week, although I know so many others are not. We got our power back last week after losing it for 3 days, are no longer on a boil water notice, and finally got internet/cable back this afternoon. It really goes to show how you can take everyday things for granted so easily. Feeling very grateful for a roof over our head, the heat (although now it’s back in the 70s lol), and a meal with my family.

I know a lot of others aren’t as lucky as us. Austin has really come together and showed up for others to help those in need.

We made the most delicious meal last night to start the week - homemade pasta (from the store lol) with sausage and peppers. Thinking I should put this on the blog despite it being so easy!

Hope all my Texas friends are doing okay and here’s to a new week!

Peanut butter and jelly stuffed oatmeal cups! Pret Peanut butter and jelly stuffed oatmeal cups! Pretty much the best combo in a baked oatmeal cup form. Made with just 10 ingredients and using @bobsredmill (AD) Rolled Oats, Flaxseed Meal, and Chia Seeds! Perfect for a snack, breakfast addition, or pre/post-workout (my fav)! I love prepping them on Sunday to have during the week for an energizing snack with complex carbs, fiber, and healthy fats to keep me going. Super easy to make and vegan. Here is how to make them:⁠
⁠
oatmeal cups⁠
2.5 cups @bobsredmill Rolled Oats⁠
3 tablespoons @bobsredmill Flaxseed Meal⁠
1 tablespoon maple syrup⁠
1.5 teaspoons cinnamon⁠
1 teaspoon baking powder⁠
1/2 teaspoon vanilla⁠
1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk⁠
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons peanut butter⁠
1/4 cup berry chia jam (recipe below) or use store-bought⁠
pinch of sea salt⁠
⁠
berry chia jam⁠
1# frozen berries⁠
2 tablespoons @bobsredmill Chia Seeds⁠
⁠
to make the jam - add berries to a medium-sized pot over medium-low heat and cook for 10-12 minutes until broken down. If you are using blueberries, break them up with a spoon or potato masher if you want a smoother consistency. Turn off heat and stir in chia seeds. Let sit to thicken for 30 minutes.⁠
⁠
to make oatmeal cups - preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin tin with oil or use silicone muffin liners. Mix together oats, flax, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and milk in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add one heaping tablespoon of the oat mixture to each silicone muffin liner, pressing down to form a cup shape. Next add 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter, followed by 1 teaspoon jam to each muffin. Top with the remaining oat mixture (about 1 heaping tablespoon). Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy!⁠

A friendly reminder to eat the food. You don't nee A friendly reminder to eat the food. You don't need to be afraid of food or think you "can't" (I had someone tell me that on a call the other day).⁠
⁠
1200 calories is not enough food. 1500, 1700, 1800, and even 2000 is not even enough for some females. A lot of active women can easily crush 2000+ calories. And this is especially true if you want to gain muscle. ⁠
⁠
Swipe through to see my food for the ONE DAY. To be fair, I’m finishing up a surplus/muscle-building phase right now so I’m eating a little more than my maintenance (homeostasis point). But my maintenance is 2100-2300 calories. I’m 5’2”! Take out that protein bar, and that is what I eat during my maintenance phase.⁠
⁠
We cannot live in a constant calorie deficit and be dieting for months and years on end. Unfortunately, it's pretty common. Restriction is not only not fun but can lead to a bunch of problems. Things in ⁠hormonal issues, loss of menstrual cycle, always cold, losing hair, not hungry or always hungry, always tired, inability to put on muscle, low sex drive...⁠
⁠
If this is you, you probably need to reverse diet.⁠
⁠
I’m all for bio-individuality. I know my needs and eating habits won’t work for you and yours won't for me. But I do know active women need to eat. And it's probably way more than you think you need.⁠
⁠
I know because I was there too - I struggled with under-eating, restriction, bingeing, and over-exercising for a solid 10 years of my life.⁠ It's not easy to overcome, but it is so worth it.⁠
⁠
If you are hungry, eat. Your body is smart and telling you something. If you are craving certain foods, eat them (if you don't have any allergies). Again, your body is telling you something.⁠
⁠
You deserve to eat food.⁠

Maple mustard chicken skillet in partnership with Maple mustard chicken skillet in partnership with @puremaplefromcanada (AD)! This skillet combines some of my favorite things - chicken, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and a maple mustard sauce! It comes together in about 35 minutes, made in one pan, is loaded with protein, complex carbs, and veggies, and has a sweet and spicy maple mustard sauce to bring it all together.

100% maple syrup is my go-to when reaching for a sweetener. It adds a great flavor, can be used in either sweet or savory recipes, and also adds some micronutrients (minerals like manganese, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, and copper) since it's derived directly from a maple tree's sap.

The key when looking for maple syrup is you want one and only one ingredient - 100% pure maple syrup. 72% of maple syrup is produced in Canada and it’s super easy to find in the US - simply head to your local grocery store and before you add it to your cart, turn the bottle around and make sure it is pure maple syrup from Canada.

Beef stuffed butternut squash with cinnamon tahini Beef stuffed butternut squash with cinnamon tahini sauce!! This recipe is up there with some of my favorites I've made. It’s sweet, savory, has some greens, and then topped off with a delicious tahini sauce. I know the flavor combination might sound a little strange, especially with the sauce, but trust me.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
They come together in about 50 minutes, with only 15 minutes of active cooking time. And they make a great balanced meal - carbs from the squash, fat and protein from the beef, and veggies/fiber from kale, onion, and squash.⁠⠀⁠⁠
⁠⁠

Chicken enchilada dip! Whether you like football o Chicken enchilada dip! Whether you like football or not, almost everyone can get down on some football food! And this chicken enchilada dip is where it's at! Chicken, peppers, onions, and cauliflower rice (yep, it's in there and I promise you won't know it) are mixed together with mayo (again, you won't taste it, it just adds some creaminess) and an easy homemade enchilada sauce. Then it's baked in the oven until hot and crispy on the top.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'm thinking you could totally swap out the mayo for some greek yogurt to add even more protein. And add some cheese if you want! This recipe is dairy-free, but cheese would be fabulous!⁠⁠

A handful of dinners we enjoyed in January. Some r A handful of dinners we enjoyed in January. Some recipe components thrown in there, but mostly just using what we have on hand to make balanced meals. And of course Friday night pizza night (we are going strong on this one this year so far!).

The goal of my meals - a good balance of protein, carbs, fats, and veggies/fiber and eating something I will enjoy(!!!).

Sometimes that looks like a huge bowl of veggies, sweet potatoes, salmon, and a tahini dressing. And other times it looks like whole homemade pizza with chicken and Caesar dressing. Or A tuna melt and a salad. Or shrimp stir fry and rice.

The same goal still used - a focus on protein, carbs, fat, and veggies/fiber - the meals just look different depending on what we have on hand and what we want to eat. Want being the key word. All foods can fit into a balanced way of eating.

The more you learn what foods are composed of (protein, carbs, fat, or a combo), the easier meals are to build. And the more you eat ALL THE FOODS, the more balanced your eating will be. Some night I’ll have more carbs, other days not as much veggies, and so on.

Not every meal is going to be perfect but the more we can learn and listen, the more we can adjust to find the ideal amount of food for our bio individual needs.⁠
