5/27/2017 0 Comments Turkey + Prosciutto BurgersWe all need to make time for a burger once in a while.
My definition of "once in a while" is twice a week! The simple trick to making a good burger at home is using good protein, spices, grated onion and some kind of healthy fat. That's the winning combination for making these TURKEY + PROSCIUTTO BURGERS so juicy and flavorful. The organic ground turkey is paired with garlic and basil for flavor, grated onion for moistness, and salty, crispy and fatty prosciutto for the perfect balanced burger. I always make burgers using 2 lbs of meat, so leftovers are available for easy lunches or even breakfast! Cook once, eat twice right?!? Alrighty...it's burger o'clock! TURKEY + PROSCIUTTO BURGERS makes about 8 patties Ingredients:
1. In a large bowl mix meat, grated onion, and spices together with your hands. Form meat mixture into 8 medium sized patties. 2. Grill or cook burgers in a pan for about 7 minutes on one side and flip to finish cooking (total time about 11-15 minutes). 3. While the burgers are cooking, heat a large pan on medium heat. Fry prosciutto pieces on both sides (about 10 mins. total) until crispy and set aside. 4. Once burgers are almost cooked, place sliced Gruyere cheese on top of burgers so the cheese begins to melt. 5. Serve these juicy turkey burgers on top of some crispy prosciutto pieces, some garlic mayo, a handful of baked sweet potato fries and a side salad. Simple + delicious!

To me, the best part about pizza is the toppingzzz! This grain-free pizza crust took me about 10 minutes to whip up, and then I got to the fun part...adding the tasty toppings! This process goes even quicker when you already have cauliflower rice ready to go in your refrigerator. This crust is not for thin and crispy lovers, because it's more on the slightly crispy softer side. So instead of filling up on a grain-filled crust (not as nutrient-dense), you get to fuel your body with more whole ingredients! Are you ready to whip up a simple healthy pizza? Grab a skillet, the 4 ingredients needed, and let's get cooking! SKILLET CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST Ingredients:
1. In a small skillet (8-9 inches) heat butter or ghee on medium heat. 2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl whisk egg, cauliflower rice, and salt and pepper together. 3. Once skillet has heated, pour in the egg mixture, making sure it is spread out covering the bottom of the skillet evenly. 4. Let cook for about 5-7 minutes and gently flip the crust to cook on the other side. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 5. Gently remove crust from the skillet once it has completely cooked. Then place your favorite pizza toppings on top of the crust. The pizza pictured above has crushed tomatoes, smoked sausage, kale, onions, and goat cheese- yummy! 6. Bake your pizza for 13-15 minutes and enjoy! Always craving good food, Jillian 5/20/2017 0 Comments Coconut Milk Chia PuddingSometimes I wake up just wanting to eat cake for breakfast.
Do you ever crave something sweet in the morning?? Well, I have a solution that is not only sweet, but it's healthy too! I created this Coconut Milk Chia Pudding during my Whole 30 experience because I needed a break from eating eggs every morning. This recipe is so simple to put together - just pour, shake and let set. Before you eat this creamy sweet pudding, just add in your favorite fruit and nut butter toppings, yummy! Try this clean + simple recipe ASAP, and let me know what you think! COCONUT MILK CHIA PUDDING serves 1 Ingredients:
1. Put all ingredients for the pudding (not the toppings) in a mason jar. Shake the jar well until the chia seeds are dispersed all around. 2. Close the jar and put into the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit overnight or for a couple of hours so it can set into a creamy, pudding-like texture. 3. Pour pudding mixture into a bowl so you have plenty of room to add in your tasty toppings! Enjoy this amazing quick breakfast :) Always craving good food, Jillian 5/17/2017 0 Comments The Newest Health Fad!Make eating real, good food and movement in your life a priority, then you won't have any excuses why you're not feeling good. -Jillian K.

It's a real food "bible" that I refer to time and time again. Well I think this introduction is long enough, so let's get to the good stuff, shall we? THE NEWEST HEALTH FAD will be presented to you using bullets, because I like when writers get straight to the point by using tiny, bold, black circles. These "points" are in no particular order, and are all equally important.
