Spicy Tuna Melt

May 17, 2022 by Gina +

One of my favorite sandwiches has always been a tuna melt. From simple versions to fancy ones, I just love a good tuna melt. When I want something hardy, healthy, and nostalgic, it's something I also love to make at home. Recently I decided to add some jalapeno into the mix and loved the result. I like to add hot sauce to lots of my savory meals so a spicy tuna melt just makes sense to

Protein Peanut Butter Eggs

April 14, 2022 by Gina +

Hands down one of my favorite Easter candies growing up were Reece's peanut butter eggs. I had never thought to recreate them until this year because it seems like they are everywhere. My spin on them is instead of using flour or powdered sugar with the peanut butter, I use a protein powder which makes these a lot more blood sugar friendly but still just as delicious. These are my protein

Lasagna Skillet

April 12, 2022 by Gina +

A good lasagna is not something we take lightly in our house. It's my mom's best dish and her sauce takes over a day to make. So if I take on lasagna, you know I have to do it right. But being a busy mom of two, I need a simpler recipe to put together. This lasagna skillet is just that. Delicious, hearty, and simple to put together. The best thing about this, aside from it being super

Pistachio Crusted Chicken

April 6, 2022 by Gina +

Pistachio crusted chicken, a new weeknight favorite. Baked chicken is such a classic staple. Growing up my mom made baked chicken at least once or twice a week. It was one of my favorites. Often coated in bread crumbs and served with some greens and potatoes. Total comfort for me. This is basically just that but a bit 'upgraded' with the pistachios. I've been trying to incorporate a

One of my favorite ways to eat summer tomatoes 🍅 One of my favorite ways to eat summer tomatoes 🍅

Blistered cherry tomatoes, creamy white beans, cottage cheese and plenty of crusty sourdough. It’s simple, hearty, satisfying and has plenty of protein without feeling like a “high-protein” meal.

Here’s how I make it:

A big handful of cherry tomatoes
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
Olive oil
Salt + pepper
Squeeze of fresh lemon
Good Culture cottage cheese @good_culture 
Toasted sourdough for serving

Heat a good drizzle of olive oil in a skillet and add the cherry tomatoes. Let them cook until blistered and starting to burst, then give them a light mash.

Add the white beans, season really well with salt and pepper and finish with a squeeze of lemon. Let everything warm together for a few minutes.

Spoon into a bowl, add plenty of cottage cheese on top and serve with toasted or crusty sourdough for scooping.

So simple. SO good.
Save this one for tomato season. 🍅🤍
