Shepherd's Pie

*Patreon exclusive content. Please do not share PDF or ingredients*

I remember loving this as a kid. And as an adult, when I found out how easy it was to make, that gave me an excuse to make it often.

Apparently in some areas they call this cottage pie? What do you call it?

Regardless of what you call it, I hope that you love it half as much as I do :)

Celery & Cream Cheese Bento Box

*Bonus content*

A few notes with this bento box.....

- If you can't find Greek cream cheese, using the 1/3 fat cream cheese is fine. It's just 10 more calories per serving.

- For those of you that don't like cream cheese, you can put whatever you like on your celery. Some peanut butter, PB fit, or even Nutella is fine. As long as you account for the calories in your tracking.

- In the picture, we put some everything bagel seasoning on the cream cheese (which tastes ama...

Frittata Breakfast Sandwich

*Patreon exclusive content. Please do not share PDF or recipe*

Funny story about this recipe. I did this MONTHS ago and ended up scrapping the whole video because I thought to myself, "who would want JUST a breakfast sandwich?". Well, there was a similar recipe that some guy posted on TikTok and it turns out the answer to that question is, A LOT of people would want it! So many TikTok followers reached out asking me to do something similar. So here we are. Hopefully some of those TikTok...

Mango JalapeƱo Ceviche

*TikTok Recipe*

Anybody that has followed me since the beginning will probably recognize this recipe. This was something I posted early on when I first started TikTok. But it was only for 3-4 servings and I don't think it included the calories and macros.

A few people actually requested that I make a PDF for it to post here on Patreon, so I took it one step further and remade the entire recipe and made it bigger to hit the 6 serving format of my other recipes.

The price of s...

Black Bean Brownie

*Early access content*

Oh....em....gee! These brownies!

These are gooey, chocolatey, and delicious!

The protein and fiber are an added bonus and I promise you that you can't taste a hint of beans. You can make these and serve them to your kids and they would never know they have beans in them.

Be sure to check the notes page for info on substitutions and toppings.

Lasagna

*Patreon exclusive content. Please do not share PDF or ingredients*

Ugh, I'm so happy I was finally able to make this. I have received probably over 100 requests for a lasagna recipe across my social media platforms. Hopefully some of those people are here on Patreon to finally see it!

Please be aware that this is one of the few recipes that is not for 6 serving. The calories were a little high and the portions would have been huge for 6 servings, so I bumped it up to 8. This make...

Bagel & Cream Cheese Bento Box

*Bonus content*

Another bento box idea for you quick lunch lovers :)

I know that the Greek cream cheese usually confuses people because it's a fairly new product and not available everywhere! If you can't find it, the reduced fat cream cheese is a suitable substitute. It's only 10 calories more per tablespoon.

I hope these bento box ideas continue to be hopeful to everybody!

Sausage Gravy Bowl

*Patreon exclusive content. Please do not share PDF or ingredients*

Before anybody gets upset that this is sausage gravy with no biscuits, I have a solution in the note section of the PDF. So don't attack me just yet :)

Sausage gravy is my absolute favorite breakfast! The bad thing about ordering it at a diner/restaurant, in my experience, they never actually have sausage in the gravy. That's a big red flag for me! This one is filled with sausage!

Chocolate Cake w/Protein Icing

*Early Access Content*

I posted a video making a cake with a can of diet soda and SO many people requested a high protein icing to go with it. So here we are!

This time I did a chocolate cake and opted for a cream cheese icing. If you want more of a whipped icing, the cool whip and protein powder hack is a great alternative! And remember, you don't always have to make everything high protein. Adding just some cool whip on top is perfectly fine too :)

Feel free to make swaps in this recipe. There are some great stir fry veggie mixes in the frozen veggie aisle. So if you want something else, make it your own and enjoy!

I think this one will be the last G Hughes recipe for a few weeks. Although he does have a teriyaki sauce that ...

Kodiak Chocolate Chip Muffins

I hadn't planned on posting this on her because it was just a quick little experiment. Fortunately it turned out great! A few people in the Facebook Support Group asked for a PDF, so here you go.

This is a super simple way of adding some extra protein to a sweet little snack.

These Core Power shakes can be found at some gas stations and in the small refrigerators at some checkout lanes in the grocery store.

If you can't find that specific shake, don't worry. You can use pret...

English Muffin Bento Box

We took a step back from bento boxes but after a few requests for new ideas, here we are!

Meal prep doesn't have to be time intensive. Sometimes something like this is more convenient for a quick work lunch or meal on the go.

The longer you are following my content, I hope it becomes more and more clear that nutrition and making progress toward your goals doesn't have to be confusing.

They are simply meant to give you an idea of how you can utilize my meal prep recipes Monday through Saturday, and have a little bit of food freedom on Sunday.

Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice

This was actually requested by a member of the Facebook support group so I figured I would give it a shot.

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to visit Thailand. I instantly fell in love with the food and I actually tried something similar to this. It was a long time ago, but I tried my best to recreate the flavors that I remember.

I hope you all love it!

You know.....I was sitting around today thinking. I have a bad habit of thinking that only the best of the best meal preps are worthy of posting.

Small things like this may be helpful to some of you so I figured I would start sharing the them as well.

Chipotle Pollo Asado Bowl

Who's ready for this one??? Bowls like these are fairly simple. The hard part is getting the seasoning of the chicken down so that it really brings all of the toppings together and makes them pop.

I think I can confidently say that this seasoning blend will definitely leave you wanting MORE!

Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you, it's mostly seasoning for the chicken and this recipe is extremely quick and easy to make.
