Healthy recipes for your New Year...here's to the weekend


Hi Friend,

Time has flown and here we are, 2025! How are you doing? My winter break with the kids absolutely flew by this year, in the best way possible (Christmas with little ones who believe in Santa is just magical). To start off your new years I'm sharing healthy recipes!

A vibrant, immune-boosting Vitamin C Smoothie packed with oranges, mango, and pineapple, perfect for meal prep to keep you healthy and energized all winter long.

You can prep these into smoothie bags ahead of time.

Frittata with sausage and salsa

I love this freezer frittata recipe (with salsa and sausage) for so many reasons, but top of the list is that it packs so many flavors and is great for a make ahead family breakfast meal prep recipe! And, this is a wonderful gluten-free breakfast idea!

5 Ingredient Chicken Salad

Vegetarian meal prep

This dish is said to be like a "hug" in a bowl. It's truly delicious!

They're called 'the whole bowl with tali sauce' - the tali sauce is like a garlicy sunshine sauce, so good.
