Egg muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts to meal prep. They’re especially useful for on-the-go meals. For us that means either a workday breakfast, or for weekend adventures.
Read MoreAlmond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Energy Bites
My mom and I are always looking for new yummy things to take hiking when we’re grocery shopping. And the idea for these energy bites came from a chocolate chip energy bar she bought a while back. The combination sounded really good, but when I tasted it, I have to say it tasted terrible.
Read MorePaleo Funfetti Ice Cream Sandwiches
(Just a quick note to start, these are a paleo friendly dessert if you’re not worried about the trace amount of sugar in the sprinkles.) The 5 year old in me might be a little overexcited there’s finally all natural sprinkles available!

Read MoreMom’s No Bake Grain Free Cheesecake
This cheesecake has been a summer staple for as long as I can remember. My mom always made this several times a summer, especially for birthdays or picnics because it’s so nice and portable. It’s also a no-bake dessert which is essential in the hottest weeks of the year.
Read MoreGrilled Balsamic Bruschetta Chicken
Summer meals should pretty much always be fast, fresh, and easy to make in my way of thinking. Of course that doesn’t mean they should have any less flavor though.

Their dishes are simply bursting with flavor, but not because they’re complicated.
Read MoreBLAT Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Ranch Mayo
