Morning friends! The first day of fall is tomorrow

Morning friends! The first day of fall is tomorrow and I’m pumped! 🍁In Seattle we get to experience true seasons and I’m always so excited for new beginnings with each season! Mostly for the fresh produce and recipes that come with it!

In our family we love a good chili! However I’m always looking for ways to lighten it up and make it a little healthier. I do this two ways:

1. Use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. 🍗

2. Load it up with colorful veggies! I love to use sweet potatoes, zucchini, peppers, carrots, poblanos, corn, kale, you name it! 🍠🥕🌽🌶🍆🫑🧅

For me, chili is all about the garnishes! I love avocado and corn chips. What’s your favorite chili topping? 👇Bonus points for being untraditional! 🌟

It may be rainy and gloomy in Seattle today but *technically* fall doesn’t start til next week. So I’m clinging to the last of the fresh nectarines from the farmers market and making a bright, fresh salad.

This was my go-to lazy salad all summer, complete with fresh mozzarella balls. Pro tip, if you don’t want to be bothered with making a vinaigrette from scratch, some olive oil and balsamic reduction makes a perfect makeshift dressing!

Regular balsamic ends up pooling in the bottom of your bowl making for a soggy bottom (😂). But reduced balsamic has the stickiness to cling to every ingredient for a sweet and tangy bite.

Hope y’all enjoy these last days of summer!

Woohoo! Cheers to a new meal prep plan on the blog

Woohoo! Cheers to a new meal prep plan on the blog! It was supposed to be for August and somehow we are now in September (seriously, how did that happen!?), but better late than never! 😂

I wanted to come up with a plan that made the most of late summer produce, like zucchini and peppers! The ingredients we batch cook in this plan are:

•garlic cauliflower rice
•roasted sweet potatoes🍠
•grilled peppers/onions/zucchini🌶🥒🧅
•grilled chicken🍗
•pickled red onions🧅
•avocado crema🥑
•tzatziki sauce🥒
•garlic rosemary turkey burgers 🍔
•couscous
•zucchini zoodles
•mashed cumin black beans

Swipe to the next photo to see the mix and match menu ideas of how you can use these ingredients to make a variety of fresh, healthy, and super flavorful meals! Best of all, by prepping ahead of time, your weeknight meals come together in just 5-10 minutes.

Follow the link in my bio for the full breakdown of how to put this together, complete with your grocery shopping list and recipes.

I’d love to know which meal you’d look forward to the most! Leave it in the comments below 👇🙏

Never not craving a tasty Greek chicken bowl for lunch! Homemade tzatziki sauce is beyond easy to make and takes this bowl to a whole new level.

I batch cook the grilled chicken, fluffy couscous and tzatziki ahead of time so all I have to do is add some quick fresh veggies and olives to finish it off and keep things super fresh.

I love this as a take-to-work lunch because you can enjoy it cold and easily prep it the night before. Plus, eating the Mediterranean diet always feels so light and energizing! Would you look forward to this for your lunch?

Recipe for the homemade tzatziki sauce is coming verrry soon along with a whole new meal prep plan!

It may be 55 degrees this morning but I’m not ready to give up my fresh summer meals just yet!

One question I get asked a lot is how to meal prep in the summer when you want to eat a lot of salads and lighter meals. The answer: hybrid meal prepping! Meal prep some base components and then finish with fresh touches!

TBH this is actually how I batch cook all year around but during the summer I do add more more fresh (not pre cooked) ingredients.

For this salad, I batch cooked the couscous, grilled chicken, pickled red onions and lemon vinaigrette. When meal time came, all that was left was adding some diced peach and cucumber. Voila!

A light, fresh, summery bowl you’ll love!

Don’t mind me, I’m just over here celebrating the bounty of summer zucchini and tomatoes with these caprese zoodles! 🍅

This dish is a sneak peak at my next meal plan but I couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you! Especially if your garden happens to be bursting with these goodies!

Are you holding onto summer still or already pining for pumpkin spice?
