I often make a quick stuffed bell pepper for a quick lunch or snack, and it easily gets me to over 30g of protein without a ton of calories! Don't have cooked chicken? Use canned. Want a different seasoning on top? You do you. Would it be even better with some buffalo sauce? In hindsight, yes. Is this a recipe? Prolly not. Just out here throwing out ideas for ways to incorporate protein and get some quick nutrition!

I make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals!

When I hit my 50s and went into menopause, it felt like my body had been taken over by an alien! Despite cooking at home and eating whole, clean foods, I started gaining weight, felt exhausted all the time, and—let’s be honest—I was mad at everyone!

I found myself visiting doctors often, desperate to feel healthy again.

Everything changed when I discovered the power of prioritizing protein at every meal and lifting heavy weights to build muscle! I finally feel like myself again!

I make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals that work if you are in a calorie deficit, looking for protein, trying to build and retain muscle or just want some inspiration in the kitchen for what to cook and eat!

I can’t wait for you to join me in my kitchen!
