Rad Recipes: Maple Mustard Chicken (*P, *GF)

January 23, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Sometimes an idea for a recipe or a flavor combination will pop in my head and I just HAVE to try it. Yesterday, the idea of grilled chicken breast with a maple-mustard glaze popped in, quickly followed by the taste for a BLT… and I knew I had to try it. So good! I am quite sure that there are other versions of this out there, but here’s my super-simple recipe. Enjoy! Organic chicken breast cutlets (thin sliced- mine were about 1/2 inch at the thickest) Heirloom tomato Maple bacon (you can sub turkey bacon if you prefer) Organic Romaine…

Rad Recipes: Kelly’s Autumn Harvest Salad with Roasted Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Caramelized Onions (GF, V*, VG*)

January 17, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

My friend Kelly (cupcakekelbel on Instagram) shared this AH-MAH-ZING salad with me to pass along to you. And let me tell you, it’s a beauty! Super hearty and filling without making you feel heavy. You could totally make a meal out of this on it’s own, or serve alongside a lean meat, fish, or pasta dish. It takes a bit of time to prep because you are roasting the veggies, but hey, that glass of Chardonnay isn’t going to drink itself. *For vegetarians and vegans, just leave out the bacon altogether. Adapted from: Kim’s Cravings (2 servings; approximately 780 calories…

Rad Recipe: Mikey’s Coco-Nutty Grain-Free Porridge

January 12, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

My friend Mikey swears by this recipe for a go-to, super easy breakfast fix. It’s the Coco-Nutty Grain Free Porridge from the book Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. It looks super simple and I have pretty much all of the ingredients on hand in my pantry at any given time, so I’m stoked to give this a try for a weekday breakfast that’s hearty enough to get me through a busy morning without making me late. I think I can push myself past the word “porridge” to give it a try! 😉

What is the Goal?

January 9, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

This year is the year I’m focusing on transformation in my life. I’m looking to create something BIG though. Something deep. I want to go wayyyyyy beyond “lose ___ pounds blah blah blah” and instead pave a way for people of all body types -including my own- to be empowered, to feel loved, to discover their strength & true beauty. I’m not trying to be skinny again. I’m not trying to look like a supermodel or a Victoria’s Secret ad. I actually love my body as it is, but I really want to FEEL better in it. Have more flexibility,…
