I have a new meal plan for you at 9am PST today! I used $40 in organic ingredients to create 7 days of higher protein, lower sugar meals! I can’t wait to see what y’all think of the recipes! ☺️
Pictured below is a DELICIOUS high protein, lower sugar chocolate muffin I served for breakfast!

I have a new meal plan for you this morning! It’ll be available at 9am PST! I’ve got lots of other videos coming soon, including some where I compare prices for previous meal plans to see if they’re possible in 2025.
What else would you like to see soon? Leave additional requests in the comments and I’ll absolutely work on them for you! 😄

I just posted a new video for y’all (freezer and fridge breakfast meal prep!) and I have an all organic, high protein, lower sugar meal plan coming soon too!
I’ve been in the process of redoing my pantry due to finding pantry weevils in some pasta I’d had on hand for about a year (they came from some dog treats that I completely forgot about). 😩 I’m switching over to glass jars with airtight lids. Do y’all have any tips and tricks for me to keep everything safe from critters?
Pictured below: cute little airtight jars for my spices!

#ad Have y’all cooked with seasoned carbon steel before? Give me all your tips! I’m sure you’ve seen me using @madein stainless steel pans in many of my videos. They’ve easily become my favorite pans since I received them for Christmas last year (I’ve been trying to switch all my pans to non toxic options so I was SO excited!!) And now, I’m happy to finally be partnered with them and share a link with y’all so you can upgrade your cookware too! Yay!! Here’s my affiliate link to my favorite stainless steel pan set: creatoriq.cc/3VF9t2p
I hope you love them as much as I do! And thank you to @madein for sending me this new surprise that I’ll be showing in some of my future videos! I can’t wait!

I don’t know if I’ll be able to squeeze this into a video but here’s a fun holiday treat using leftover tortillas! My kids cut out shapes with cookie cutters and then I carefully fried these in neutral oil until golden on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side. I seasoned with salt after transferring to a towel lined plate. You can even use cinnamon sugar! Super fun and so delicious!

Some NEWS for y'all! I have a new meal plan ready for you! It will be viewable tomorrow at 9am PST and I can't wait to hear what you think of the recipes! This one was really fun to create and super delicious (and kid friendly!)
Also, I moved my digital downloads directly to my blog, which means I was able to reduce the price! Yay!! You can find them here:

I plan to make my next video based on easy homemade snacks and I'll be cooking those recipes this week! Thank you so much for all your patience as I focus on trying to find balance with some life changes. Y'all are so wonderful!

Hey y’all! Things have been crazy here lately and I’ve needed to switch my focus to family-related tasks. That means that I’m behind on creating videos but I DID shop for a new meal plan yesterday! I should have that within a week or 2 for you!
In the meantime, see if your ALDI has these weird looking, but delicious cheeses, and enjoy! I loved both the garlic cheddar and the sage derby cheese. Have y’all tried these or any of the other specialty cheeses?
