I am a big pasta lover and one of my favorite meals is lo mein. I woke up Sunday morning craving something salty, specifically lo mein. Unfortunately your standard lo mein meal from a Chinese or Japanese restaurant is often really high in sodium and loaded with fat. I did not want to suffer that post Chinese take out sluggish feeling that I often do. This homemade meal completely satisfied my craving without the negative aftermath! The entire batch is 565 calories and makes e

Sometimes messing up your recipe is for the better! I was attempting to make a simple mug cake here but I did not cook it for long enough so I ended up with a cake like crust and a warm oatmeal center. Instead of continuing to cook the mug cake I just ate it as is and it was quite delicious! Yes I am sometimes that lazy. I used 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup oats, 3/4 scoop protein powder, 1 packet stevia, a splash of water, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. I mixed everything togethe

This is a question that can be asked to 100 people and you will probably get 100 different responses. I suspect the definition of "healthy" is unique to each individual. It took me a while but I have come to the realization that living a healthy lifestyle goes far beyond making smart food choices and consistently working out. If you are eating healthy, working out, but miserable in the process, then there is probably something missing. I woke up this morning and put my boo

Lasagna is one of my favorite Italian meals but the calories can certainly add up and leave you feeling like a useless couch potato for hours. Okay so that might have been a little aggressive but I know that I personally have a hard time with portion control when it comes to lasagna. I mean, what is really a "slice" anyways? I was lucky enough to grow up with the fabulous cooking of my mother and never actually cooked my own lasagna before because why mess with mama's cook

Okay, so I used to be that person who would scroll through my news feed and roll my eyes any time that I saw a gym check in. I thought to myself, "congratulations you are at the gym no one cares". I would think the same thing when I saw a picture on Instagram of someone sweating after a tough workout. But really, what is the point of social media if you aren't sharing with others the things that you enjoy? How is checking in at the gym any different from checking in at a re

I am a HUGE lover of pizza and buffalo chicken, so naturally buffalo chicken pizza is one of my favorite meals! With football season right around the corner, I have been thinking about how I will get through my Sunday's guilt free. This pizza took less than 10 minutes to prep and less than 10 minutes to cook! The entire pizza is only 250 calories, 5.5g fat, 18g carbohydrates, and 37g protein! Recipe includes: 1 Flatout Light Italian flatbread 1/4 cup Hunt's no salt added t
