Guilt Free: 5 Ingredient Sloppy Joes

I'm currently obsessed with this recipe! I've had a serving every day for the last week, and I'm not ashamed. I choose not to eat red meat so I have to make new recipes with turkey and chicken, otherwise I'll get sick of them and have to rely on eggs and protein powder to reach my daily…

Guilt Free: Black Bean Avocado Brownies

This recipe has been almost a year in the making. Last July Jon and I made these brownies and we’ve been talking about making them again ever since!

Guilt Free Spaghetti(squash) and Meatballs

I used to eat noodles all of the time, but stopped eating them when I saw how many carbs was in a serving. In college I discovered spaghetti squash and I wouldn’t say it changed my life, but it did expand the variety of meals I prepped. This recipe is low carb and high volume,…
