I've never felt as SEXY & CONFIDENT as I do now in 2021. 

​I will be turning 35 years young later this month and I can tell you with large amounts of enthusiasm that I FEEL SO DAMN SEXY! ​

1.  I'm consuming less TV and social media & reading more MINDSET BOOKS before I go to bed. 

2.  I'm using a planner to intentionally SCHEDULE fun, self-care and anything else that excites me. 

3.  I practice GRATITUDE & write 3 simple things that's I'm grateful for every morning.

4.  I only do + bring things in my life that are a "HELL YES!"

5.  I'm not letting FEAR get in the way anymore of exploring new adventures. (My family is moving to a new state to build our dream home this year!)

6.  I'm relearning how to FEEL & LISTEN to my body because of my daughter Lucille & yoga.

7.  I realized a successful life isn't how your life looks, it's how YOUR LIFE FEELS! 


I hope if you get anything from my monthly newsletter, my blog or my Instagram account, that you know...

YOU ARE AMAZING just as you are & you have the POWER TO LIVE SEXY AS HELL. 


always cheering for your self-care,

This meal is full of all the colors and flavor! 

You do not want to deviate from this recipe because the flavor is worth the work my friend!  So please be sure to marinate and let the chicken sit after it is baked.  The longer it sits the juicier it will be!

The cabbage slaw is so stinkin' easy to whip up and gives the fajitas a crunchy touch :)

I hope you enjoy everything about this meal, because it is such a lovely way to wrap up your weeknight.  #punsalwaysintended 

P.S. This is one of my newest "THAT'S A WRAP" themed meals for all my families inside my meal program, Simplify My Meals.

INGREDIENTS: 

Chicken Marinade: 

• 2 lbs. of Boneless Chicken Breasts
• 1/4 c. Olive Oil
• 2 Limes, juiced
• 1/4 c. Water
• 2 Garlic Cloves, minced 
• 1/4 tsp. Cumin
• 1 1/2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp. Onion Powder
• 2 tbsp. Chili Powder 
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1/4 tsp. Ground Pepper 

Additions: 

• 2 Peppers, Yellow & Red, sliced thinly
• 1 Small Yellow Onion, sliced thinly
• 8 Whole Wheat Tortillas

TOPPINGS: 

• Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• Avocado slices

Purple Slaw: 

• 1 Small Purple Cabbage, sliced thinly
• 1 c. of Medium Salsa
• 1/3 c. of Plain Greek Yogurt
• Salt & Pepper, to taste 

1.  In a large bowl mix all ingredients for marinade together then add and toss chicken.  Let chicken sit in marinade in the fridge for at least one hour. 

2.  While chicken is marinating, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and slice cabbage, peppers, and onions and put aside. 

3.  When chicken is done marinating, take a large baking pan lined with parchment paper and lay chicken breasts on top.  Pour some of the juices from the marinade on the baking sheet as well.  These juices will turn black and crispy, but taste so dang good, trust me! 

4.  Bake chicken for about 30-40 minutes or until chicken temperature is 165 degrees.

5.  While chicken is baking, mix the salsa and plain Greek yogurt in a large bowl together. Then add cabbage and toss altogether.  Season with salt and pepper. 

6.  In a large pan on medium heat add a tsp. of olive oil, onions and peppers. Saute until tender for about 10 minutes. 

7.  When chicken is done, let it rest for about 10 minutes (this keeps the chicken super juicy). 

8.  Then slice or cube chicken and add to the large skillet with peppers and onions.  Don't forget to add that black crispy marinade pieces too! 

9.  Serve this amazing chicken combo on a warm tortilla, top with shredded cheddar cheese, purple slaw and avocado slices! 

Enjoy friends!

Whether it's a pizza night or stadium food night in our home this pizza combo is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! 

I thought CONFETTI PIZZA was an appropriate title for this recipe because you literally sprinkle all the beautiful colors on top of a simple pizza crust.

Please, whatever you do, try not to skip the fresh sage leaves.  

They get crispy and have an amazing buttery flavor when they bake that makes your pizza taste incredible :)

Cheers friends to making healthy and simple as hell pizza at home, woo hoo!

INGREDIENTS:

• Whole grain pizza crust or flatbread (we used Atoria's Family Bakery Lavash Flatbread) 
• Basil Pesto (find one made without canola oil) 
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 pack or container of Goat Cheese  (if you don't prefer goat cheese you can use mozzarella instead) 
• 1 block of Parmesan 
• 1 bunch of Asparagus, chopped 
• Nitrate-free Pepperoni or Proscuitto 
• 1 Yellow Pepper, chopped 
• 4 Fresh Sage leaves, chopped
• S & P

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Using a couple of spoonfuls of pesto and about a tsp. of olive oil, spread a thin layer over entire pizza crust.

2. Next, sprinkle chopped yellow pepper, asparagus, sliced pepperoni or proscuitto, and goat cheese all over your pesto covered pizza.  

3.  Sprinkle chopped sage leaves all over pizza.  You don't want to skip this ingredient, sage leaves get crispy and buttery while they bake.  It's a game changer! 

4.  Bake pizza for 12-14 minutes or until crust is cooked to your liking

5. Serve pizza with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper and shaved parmesan! 


Enjoy this fun-flavor-filled pizza friends!
