After many requests, I have FINALLY compiled an array of meal prep/healthy recipes I use for myself weekly. I provide the ingredients, method for cooking, serving size, as well as the macros (calories, carbohydrates, fat, and protein) for every recipe. The book is composed of: breakfast, lunch/dinner, and semi-homemade recipes. My plan is to create…

Cornbread Pancakes Topped with Creamy Bacon Gravy and a Poached Egg
So when I had the epiphany to make these, I thought they would be good. Upon actually making them, their deliciousness far surpassed all of my expectations. Because they were cooked individually, there was more surface area per pancake for golden brown yummy goodness. Perfect, buttery, crispy brown edges line the circumference of each pancake. …
Challah French Toast Topped with Bourbon Brown Sugar Caramel Apple Sauce
Holy french toast. Honestly, forget the french toast, I want to take a bath in this caramel. It is so flipping good. The brown sugar gives it a deeper flavor than your average caramel. Even though the apples are added right at the end to finish it off, there is a delicious apple flavor that…
Spiced Candied Pecans
Deez nuts. Deez spiced candied nuts are soooooo good. These little babies are going to find their way into some oatmeal, on top of some french toast, mixed in with an arugula salad, maybe even with some ooey-gooey brie cheese on a toasty garlic rubbed crostini. Sheesh, I’m making myself hungry. I think spiced candied…
Green Bean Casserole with Homemade Shiitake Gravy and Crispy Fried Shallots
For me, nothing says thanksgiving like a big ol’ green bean casserole. There is just something so comforting about it. Even young Maya that didn’t like mushrooms LOVED green bean casserole. It felt kind of wrong to not crack open a can of thick Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup and plop it over some green…
Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Bread Stuffing
STUFFING. Why do we eat this delicious goodness only once a year?! I decided to get freaky with this… it didn’t make sense to me why you would use just plain old white bread when there are so many other amazing breads out there. The roasted garlic and rosemary bread add such amazing flavor. Those…
Brown Butter Apple Spice Cake with Whipped Dulce De Leche Cream Cheese Frosting
Have I ever told you guys I suck at baking? Probably not something I should tell you but it’s true, don’t worry I’m working on it. But this cake? This cake holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I just based this recipe off of my blueberry muffins because they are the best things…
Crispy Shrimp Tacos with Lemony Honey Chipotle Remoulade Sauce and Sweet Jalapeño Glaze
I call these beauties, “pocos”, or po-boy tacos. I went to local restaurant here in Columbus a couple weeks ago called, The Walrus, and I was completely and utterly inspired. I ordered the shrimp po-boy and an LED light bulb went off in my head. I said to myself, “these must be taco-fied”, and taco-fied…
Boozy Watermelon Slushies
No need to pinch yourself, you’re not dreaming. These spiked icy babies are exactly what you need in your life right now. Forget that artificial watermelon flavoring crap, it’s summer, go to the store and buy yourself a real watermelon. I think the next time I make these I might rim the glass with sugar…
