Chicken Tortilla Soup [Recipe]

They say chicken soup is good for the soul well I disagree. It’s not good it’s GREAT!!! When my mum was visiting recently I tried to find some ways that I could sneak extra protein into her meals. She doesn’t like to eat a lot in one go and enjoys soup so I picked up two cartons of Kirkland Signature Chicken Tortilla Soup from Costco. I couldn’t believe the macros! 1 cup (240g) yielded 11g of protein, and just 12g carbs and 3g of fat! I couldn’t resist having a bowl myself and serving it with a side of buttered toast. Mmmm so yummy and so comforting!

Fat-free Sweet Potato Fries [Recipe]

I’ve been absolutely loving the meals we get from Fia’s Fresh Meals lately. Out of all the pre-prepared microwavable meals I’ve tried in the past, they really are a cut above the rest! Not just because their vacuum-packed containers keep their meals super fresh, but the ingredients and the variety of delicious meals is of seriously superior quality. From BBQ chicken pizza to butternut squash lasagna and burritos, they’re menu is crowd pleaser!

Delish Goddess Bowl [Recipe]

It might be true that no good story ever started with someone eating a salad, but just because salad stories might be boring, that doesn’t mean that they have to taste that way! We’ve been taking a lot lately about how to maintain and quantify that 80/20 balance with your nutrition. We’re 100% on board with the savvy advice from our friend EC at Optimized Nutrition, that 800g a day of fruit and veg is a good target for most adults to shoot for – some may need more, some a little less depending on your overall caloric intake.

Turkey Moussaka [Recipe]

Aubergine or eggplant, call it what you like, happens to be a favorite vegetable of mine. In it’s raw form is it pretty bland, but once grilled or pan-fried its flavor is magically transformed! Eggplant is incredibly popular in European and Middle Eastern cooking, most typically used in casseroles like this delicious moussaka!

Sweet Potato Pork Fried Rice [Recipe]

Making “rice” substitutes out of vegetables is all the rage right now! Not only is it a great way to get your veggies in and keep your carb macros in check, but it makes your meals that much more satisfying as you can invariably have a whole lot more! At least I know that whenever I measure out a portion of rice it always looks depressingly small in respect to its carb content.

Red Velvet Pancakes [Recipe]

OMG these pancakes are literally to die for! ? They remind me of the epic pancakes I had in Vancouver at a cute little spot in Cambie called Jam Café. I remember having a hard time guesstimating the macros for that brunch – I damn near had a heart attack when they brought out my 2-inch-thick pancake stack the size of a dinner plate! Given that I was unable to eat anything for the rest of day I’d say those bad boys were not quite as macro-friendly as these!
