Philly Cheesesteak

It’s okay, you can judge me for my boots, but I was warm-ish, so I’ll take the criticism.  Philly Philly This past weekend was jam packed with food, friends, and fitness. Sounds like a normal weekend for me, I know. The major differences were that 1. the fitness was a competition instead of just a […]

Sassy’s Game Day Nachos Yesterday I was talking all about balance, so it is only suiting that I bring you a recipe for nachos today, agreed?

Goat Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Turkey Burgers

salmon salad

This easy salmon salad is as easy as it sounds. Gather your ingredients and boom lunch (or any meal/snack really) is served! I need an easy lunch, otherwise, it’s likely that I will skip it, scrounge for snacks or do a little bit of both. It seems that many struggle with lunch as well because […]

Easy Salmon Salad

swedish meatballs

Happy Tuesday, bring on the Swedish meatballs! Comfort food is a must in these freezing cold temperatures. Isn’t it crazy how 20 degrees can feel “warm” this time of year?

Swedish Meatballs (Gluten & Dairy Free)

I’m more a middle-of-the-day person and get by with a little help from my friends coffee & wine to make me morph into a morning and/or night person when it seems appropriate. I have […]

Gluten-Free Apple Sausage Stuffing Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks, hanging out with family, and eating a ridiculous amount of food. Most people focus {mostly} on the latter. I’m one of those people. Why? Because Thanksgiving food is delicious, usually requires a labor of love and tends to entail foods we don’t always have […]

When most people hear the word Kale, they think “bitter”, “gross”, “too healthy” and many other negative connotations. Now, I am not the first one to grab kale either, so I hear you.
