Thai Peanut Quinoa Salad! 😋 I made this last week and it is definitely going to be a regular. The quinoa adds more protein, keeping you full longer. Make the salad and store in tupperware for a fast, healthy meal throughout the week. Enjoy!

I can’t believe I haven’t shared this recipe yet! This Cozy Autumn Wild Rice Soup is my favorite soup, especially as the weather gets colder. It’s creamy, full of vegetables, and packs a punch of flavor with Old Bay seasoning. I’m not going to lie, I’ve even eaten leftovers for breakfast...

It’s that time of year again! I’m in love with this homemade unsweetened applesauce recipe. We went apple picking yesterday and I currently have this pot of deliciousness simmering on the stove. I can’t wait for it to be done! It’s so good I eat it for dessert. I also substitute it for butter in baking recipes, add it to oatmeal, and make apple pancakes.

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 😊

I love when the weather gets cooler and I can curl up on my balcony with a warm bowl of oatmeal, especially this one, which is pumpkin pecan! It's a comforting, fast breakfast that helps me relax before a busy day of studying for physical therapy school. Hopefully it brightens the beginning of your day, too! 😊🍁

Why force yourself through a workout you don't enjoy? If you don't like biking, don't bike. If you don't like running, don't run. You might feel differently everyday and that's okay. Find what motivates you to tie up those laces and make yourself feel good. Read more at the link below!

Spicy Thai Cashew Broccoli Salad 😋 This tasty recipe takes me 15 minutes to whip up on a busy weeknight. It has a nice little kick from the jalapeno that is amazing with the creamy peanut butter dressing. You can also substitute your favorite choice of nut butter that you have on hand. Enjoy!

Happy 4th of July!
Here’s a fast and effective 10 minute Core Finisher. Do the circuit on its own or at the end of your workout to improve your core strength.

Don’t forget to warm-up first!

Perform 2 rounds of the following exercises for 30 seconds with a 30 second rest in between.

1) Bicycle crunches (Tip: Go slow! Focus on using your core to crunch up and across versus simply bringing your knee in.)

2) Russian twists (Tip: if you feel this in your lower back, try placing your feet on the floor, squeezing your heels together while performing the twist. If you want to challenge yourself more, hold onto a weight.)

3) Roll-ups: start by laying down with legs extended straight and arms raised above your chest. Use your core to slowly curl up to sitting with arms overhead. Slowly return back to the floor, controlling the descent with your core. Repeat.

4) High plank to side plank: transition between high plank to side plank alternating sides

5) High plank to down dog: slowly transition between high plank to downward dog. Repeat.

Happy Monday! Here’s one of my favorite quiche recipes. It’s a Mediterranean quiche that is full to the brim with vegetables and flavor. Quiche is great for meal prep because it takes very little time to make and lasts for days. It’s also an easy way to sneak in vegetables for breakfast. Enjoy!

One Pan Healthy Taco Pasta! This was my first time making this recipe and I give it a 10/10. I mean come on, can you look at that picture without your mouth watering? I'm a big fan of one pan meals; there's less dishes and shorter prep time. This taco pasta is packed full of nutrients and flavor. Even the leftovers were amazing.
