Healthy Fall Apple Recipes You’ll Love

September 29, 2021 By Stephanie 2 Comments

These delicious and Healthy Fall Apple Recipes are all 21 Day Fix approved and Weight Watchers friendly! Perfect for apple-picking season, most of them are kid-friendly, too!

Hey guys! How are all the things? Feeling all of the fall vibes I hope, because that is exactly where I’m at in life and is what made me want to make this post! Which, by the way, is absolutely perfect for apple pickin’, apple ciderin’ autumnal happiness.

Quick update, for those of you following along, we’re currently still chillin’ at my parents while we wait to close on our new forever home (Eeee!!) and I can’t stop looking at Halloween decorations on Pinterest. It’s a disease, you guys, but it makes me so happy.

Thai Mango Curry with Shrimp

September 15, 2021 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

This Thai Mango Curry with Shrimp is such a crazy-flavorful and healthy dinner recipe! I also love that it’s gluten-free, dairy-free and perfect for the 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers! Great for meal prep, too!

Hey guys! Are your kiddos in school yet? We moved over the summer, so the girls started at new schools on August 30th. So far so good! Though everything has been super wonky since the move and we’re SO happy to get back into some kind of routine (even if we currently are still living with my parents while we house hunt)!

With summer winding down and the grind winding back up, I thought it would be a good time to share this super quick and delish Thai Mango Curry with Shrimp recipe! I LOVE keeping shrimp on hand in the freezer for quick dinners and last-minute meals. (Ya know, like in this Cajun-Style Shrimp and Grits recipe, this Mississippi Comeback Shrimp Salad, this Shrimp Scampi with Spaghetti Squash recipe or this legit craveable Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad, so so good!)

Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad

July 6, 2021 By Stephanie 4 Comments

This Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad has warm, gingery shrimp, a spicy chili-lime vinaigrette and a rich peanut sauce over crisp romaine, edamame and veggies. It’s 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly, and a great change-up from your regular lunch salad!

This Applebee’s copycat was only my second recipe on the blog (6 years ago!!) and was ready for an update! I’ve got some new prettier pictures for you and I tweaked the recipe a bit while I was at it 🙂 It’s better than ever and I hope you guys love it!!

Ahh, salad. It’s the word that potential “dieters” dread most, isn’t it? The word that is used to talk oneself out of eating well, as in “I REALLY need to lose a few pounds, but I just can’t take eating salad every day!”

Of course, this is said with the puckered face of the truly disgusted and/or truly terrified. I totally get it – and I want to help you get over it. (Also, you do NOT need to eat salad every day to lose weight, but I digress…)

That being said, many fixers and other healthy eaters (myself included) find it simplest when planning out their day to have a salad for lunch, especially this time of year and it’s so easy to get stuck in a salad rut!

Such was the position I found myself in when I decided to work on a 21 Day Fix version of one of my favorite restaurant salads, the Applebee’s Thai Shrimp Salad.

4 Ingredient Strawberry Daiquiri {21 Day Fix | Weight Watchers}

June 21, 2021 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

This 4 Ingredient Strawberry Daiquiri recipe is the perfect summertime sipper! It’s easy to make, a real crowd-pleaser, vegan, gluten-free, plus 21 Day Fix approved and Weight Watchers friendly!

Hey guys! And hellooooooo summer-in-a-glass! ↑↑↑

There are plenty of amazing summery drinks in the world (in fact, I’ve already shared a ton with you guys, like this Honey Paloma, or this Coconut-Lime Margarita!), but a Strawberry Daiquiri is always the first drink I think of when my eyes glaze over because I’m daydreaming those sunny, poolside daydreams. Sigh.

I don’t know how I haven’t gotten one of these beauties out to you sooner, but my apologies, dear reader, because you deserved this ridiculously delicious, sweet, refreshing, 4-Ingredient Strawberry Daiquiri in your life. It’s just SO good and I can’t wait to make a bunch of them for the fam (the grown-up fam, of course) on the fourth of July coming up!!
