Becca's Fab Five Gifts for the Healthy Cook

Becca's Fab Five Gifts for the Healthy Cook

Your BEST health starts in the kitchen. I wish I could lie and tell you that some bootcamp or marathon training or magical supplement would make all your health and fitness dream goals come true. But I cannot. The MOST important thing you can do for your health, the ABSOLUTE BEST New Year’s Resolution you can make is to tackle the kitchen Monster. When you begin to prepare your own food and love the process, you will develop a true appreciation for what it means to provide your body with Nourishment. Regardless of whether you are wanting to tackle the kitchen yourself, know someone who has vowed to cook more, or love someone who relishes in a nice glass of wine while they create culinary masterpieces, these Fab Five gifts will delight the Healthy cook!

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins- Grain Free and Kid Approved

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins- Grain Free and Kid Approved

Choooooooooocolate. I love chocolate. My kids love chocolate. I need my kids to eat breakfast and I can’t always be elaborate about it….. or patient for that matter. It takes every ounce of everything I have sometimes not to scream at my oldest to Eat-Your-Food-Dammit-So-I-Can-Be-Done-Feeding-People!!!!!!

Strawberry Shortcakes- Grain Free and Delish!

Strawberry Shortcakes- Grain Free and Delish!

I LOVE A GOOD STRAWBERRY!!!

Strawberries are in season here in Central Florida and I am in heaven. I love taking the boys to pick them fresh, eating them right out of the field. I love seeing them with red juice dripping down their chins and strawberry mud on their fingers. And I REALLY love turning the strawberries into delicious, healthy eats! You will love these Strawberry Shortcakes. The shortcake portion can easily be amended into Blueberry Muffins or cinnamon muffins, too. The recipe makes 3 jumbo muffins or 6 regular muffins. I suggest doubling it! ;-) As an extra bonus, this can be made without a mixer and is easy enough for my four yr old to essentially do alone with just supervision.

Becca's Fake It Til Your Fab Five- March/April

Becca's Fake It Til Your Fab Five- March/April

In the Not So Fab Five, I confessed that things have been pretty shitty. In reality, my brain had been mostly shitty more so than my actual life. Anyways, when it’s Not So Fab, the best thing to do is to Fake it til You’re Fab. The only way to get somewhere different is to take a step. And so this edition of Becca’s Fab Five is dedicated to taking steps in the right direction til it’s all Fab again.

In this one, I give you my Mac and Cheese recipe, remind you to check out all our info on feet, tell you how we protect from the sun and yet my kids have that amazing "glow" everyone talks about (it's not sunscreen!), talk about the difference between being BROKEN and being Broken Open, and give you the link to the magical sunflower seeds that grow the beauties by my front door. I hope you enjoy!!

Mac and Cheese- The Ultimate Comfort Food

Mac and Cheese- The Ultimate Comfort Food

Every so often, you just have to have Mac and Cheese. If that Mac and Cheese could also be pretty darn good for you AND super Yummy, well, how do you say no? Thi recipe started as a Pasta Carbonara recipe. One day, I had the revelation that it could easily be converted to it’s cheesier cousin. And so it began…

Haka House Meal Prep--- Saturday and Sunday

Haka House Meal Prep--- Saturday and Sunday

Our life is really busy with two kids and running the gym! Saturdays, I work in the morning. So, I only do a little prep on Saturday as I don't want it to take away from family time. Most meal prep for us is done on Sundays. I like to wake up before everyone else and have some alone time to do the majority of it. The rest I do throughout the day. So here goes... See How to make it happen during the week HERE!

Creamy Herbed Chicken (or pork chops)

This recipe can be done in the Crock pot or you could do it in a cast iron skillet with a lid (place it in the oven for 4 hours at 280*). The herbs and the heavy cream lend flavor and moisture to meats that might otherwise be dry, like pork chops or chicken breasts.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise

Mayo is so easy to make! Just do it. The stuff at the store is so full of crap and mayo can actually be a really healthy part of what you eat when made properly... Can I get a hallelujah on that?!?!? We use this in our favorite Awesome Sauce and for Tarragon Chicken Salad!

Tarragon Chicken Summer Salad

Tarragon Chicken Summer Salad

This is a great meal for the long summer days. Make the chicken salad ahead of time in a larger quantity. This will allow the flavors to combine and for you to have it for lettuce wraps at lunch! See how we use this recipe in a full week of meals HERE!

Ropa Vieja

Ropa Vieja

This is not a traditional Ropas Viejas. Hell, I can’t even pronounce that right. So, who am I to claim I’m making it right? I can verify that it is delicious and that it can be made in an InstantPot, a Crock Pot, or (my favorite) a Dutch Oven and I’ll explain how to do it for each.

Fall Wild Rice Soup

Fall Wild Rice Soup

This recipe came from a deep need to do SOMETHING DIFFERENT with the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Good Lord, did we really need a turkey that big? It seemed like a good idea at the time….. I started with this beautiful recipe from GimmeSomeOven. I changed it based on what I had on hand and it was amazing! It makes a huge amount the way I did it. So you might plan to make this and freeze some or use it for an easy dinner party.

Paleo Pumpkin Brownies

Paleo Pumpkin Brownies

These are delicious and the texture is amazing. My whole family loves them! We call these a “free food” which means that the kids can eat them whenever they want- breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack. I take these to gatherings to be sure I have a yummy sweet something I can chow on without any guilt…. and I never have any to bring back home.

Yucca Fries with Sriracha Dipping Sauce

Yucca Fries with Sriracha Dipping Sauce

Yucca Fries…. it’s where it’s at!! If you want to wow your family and friends, replace your usual potato standby with these. The yucca is just so so so yummy and crisp. You can use this sriracha sauce for a quick dip or take a little more time to make some Awesome Sauce.

Roasted Chickpea Salad

Roasted Chickpea Salad

This is a new FAVORITE!! I made this last week when I was invited to a Middle Eastern Feast. I had no idea what to bring, like not a clue. So I reviewed a few recipes and this is the resulting recipe. It is so delicious and the warm flavors would pair so good with a winter squash soup or the Stuffed Acorn Squash.
