I swear this isn't turning into a food-only blog even though it might seem that way lately. I've just been getting a little bit more creative with my cooking lately (ever since starting Faster Way to Fat Loss), and sharing a lot of what I've been making/eating over on Instagram. As a result, many of you have been requesting recipes, and since one of my main goals for this space ... Read More
Healthier Korean Beef Bowl
I know, another bowl recipe. Are you starting to see a theme here? In all honestly though, I've kind of developed a thing for meals in a bowl. The recipe for this healthier version of a Korean Beef Bowl has been adapted from one of my favorite week-night go-to's. We've been eating these bowls specifically, for a few years now. They whip up super quickly, and by some sort of ... Read More
Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup
I love stuffed peppers, but what I love even more this time of year is stuffed pepper soup. There's just something about the cooler months that always makes me feel motivated to make a big pot of soup on the weekends, so that I can have leftovers for lunch all week long. This soup in particular, is super simple to make. Aside from browning the beef, onions, and peppers, the ... Read More
Instant Pot Creamy Lemon Pasta
If you happen to follow me over on Instagram, and have seen my stories this past week, then you know that I recently hopped on the bandwagon and purchased an Instant Pot. I've literally had one in my online cart since before Christmas, and kept going back and forth on whether or not to pull the trigger. You see, I love my crock pot, and I'm all about a good one-pot meal, but I ... Read More
Greek-style chicken burgers with Pepperoncini Aioli
I don't don't know about you guys, but in our house, Burgers have been a long-time favorite of ours when it comes to dinner options. As much as I enjoy a traditional hamburger with ketchup and mustard, sometimes it's fun to put a unique spin on something expected, by turning it into something unexpected. Gourmet-style burgers are all the rage right now, and ... Read More
Chopped Pasta Salad
It's a little out of character for me to post more than one recipe in the same week, but the other night, I prepared one of our favorite salads for dinner. Naturally this means that I jumped on the opportunity to shoot some photos of it, in order to share it with you guys. Last summer, Mystic, Connecticut quickly became one of our favorite places to travel with the kids. We ... Read More
Thai Peanut Spaghetti Squash Noodles
If you've been following me over on Instagram, particularly my stories, then you probably know that I've been sticking to a (mostly) paleo diet for the last several weeks. Both my husband and I decided awhile ago, that we wanted to take a stab at eating foods that are considered "paleo" as much as possible. What does this mean exactly? In a nutshell, it means that we're trying ... Read More
Take-Out Makeover | Quinoa Fried Rice
Who doesn't love a good take-out meal? Indulging in a freshly delivered pizza is one of my favorite pastimes, but in the new year I've been making a valid effort to stay on track and eat a nutritious and well-balanced diet. That doesn't mean that I haven't been craving the good stuff though. I'm a firm believer in treating yourself, but I also think there are ways to ... Read More

Creamy Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Having grown up in the Northeast, I'm certainly no stranger to chilly weather, but this week it has been bitterly cold, and it's only supposed to get cooler. During the winter months, I like to make a big pot of soup on Sundays. There's just something about the smell of soup simmering on the stovetop on a winter day that screams cozy to me. Plus, there's the ... Read More
