Ingredients

  • 9 ounces ginger snap cookies
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 4- 8 ounce packages of cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 4 eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • caramel sauce
  • sea salt
  • pecans optional

Instructions

  1. Leave out cream cheese and eggs on counter for 30 minutes to an hour.
  2. Grease a 9 inch springform pan and line bottom of pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a food processor pulse cookies until finely ground. Then transfer to a medium sized bowl. Microwave butter for 1 minute and then pour over cookie mixture until crumbs are evenly coated. Texture should be consistency of wet sand. Press into the bottom of pan. You can use a knife or off set spatula to make bottom evenly smooth. Place in freezer until ready to use.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put a large baking sheet filled with 2 inches of water in the bottom rack to get warm while oven is preheating. This will create steam during the baking process and help your cheesecake bake evenly. Leave this pan inside the oven while cheesecake is baking.
  5. In a stand-up mixer with paddle attachment, mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stopping to scrape down the sides. Add eggs one at a time, waiting until each egg is incorporate into batter before adding the other. Scrape down the sides as needed between each egg. (I like to whisk each egg separately first in a small bowl and add into the mixture this way- this ensures I don’t over beat the batter which prevents cracking on top.)
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin and pumpkin spice until smooth. Add 1/2 cheesecake filling into pumpkin mixture. Fold mixture until combined with a spatula.
  7. Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pan and then place in freezer for 15 minutes. Then add the rest of the plain batter on top. Smooth top out with knife. Tap the pan on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
  8. Place springform pan on top of baking sheet to catch any butter that leaks out. Place on rack directly on top of the one with the water in it. Leave in oven for 70 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the center has a small jiggle. Do not open the oven during baking.
  9. Leave oven door propped open for one hour with cheesecake inside. This will help it to continue cooking. Wrap cheesecake completely and place in fridge for at least 8 hours before serving.
  10. Once ready to serve, top with caramel sauce (I used store bought and flaky sea salt to top). You can also add any additional toppings you want for decor, I used pecans!

Can’t believe my leftovers turned into this gorg Can’t believe my leftovers turned into this gorg salad in literally 5 minutes 😍 This Chicken Shawarma No-Dressing Salad is the perfect nourishing lunch to fuel you through the rest of your day. Not trying to throw shade but @cava has nothing on me 💅🏼
.
Heated up leftover Chicken Shawarma from @traderjoes but I also have a recipe on my blog! Base is romaine lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Topped with chicken shawarma (falafel would be great too), feta cheese, pickled red onion, crushed pita chips and some salt & pepper. I added tzatziki and red pepper hummus on the side (both from @traderjoes). This is perfect to act as a low cal/fat dressing! I also have a recipe for pickled onions on my blog- just add one thinly sliced red onion, 1 part water, 1 part apple cider vinegar, 1 part white vinegar (or just use all ACV), pinch of salt and a splash of maple syrup to a mason jar. I always keep these in my fridge and they’re ready in about an hour!

I was recently interviewed on @lizmoody’s podcas I was recently interviewed on @lizmoody’s podcast and when she asked about my tips for becoming more confident this one came to the top of my mind right away: Take a Selfie 🤩 Cute outfit, good lighting, whatever you need to feel super good about yourself. You can post your pics, share them with friends or just keep them for yourself on a day when you aren’t feeling your best. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident. Quite honestly, it’s the key to success in SO many aspects of life! ❤️

Was craving takeout vibes tonight so I made a big Was craving takeout vibes tonight so I made a big bowl of Sweet & Sour Shrimp with green beans and brown rice 🥡 Safe to say the spot has been hit. The sweet & sour sauce I made is sweetened with honey so there’s no refined sugar or artificial ingredients like the store bought or restaurant versions! Perfectly sweet with a little spice 😋 
.
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp
1/4 cup soy sauce 
2 tbsp rice vinegar 
1/4 cup honey 
1 tbsp sriracha 
1 tsp sesame oil + more to cook the shrimp 
1/2 tsp red chili flakes 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch + 1/4 cup hot water (this thickens the sauce)
Veggies + rice to serve 
Instructions:
Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce except the tapioca flour + water mixture. 
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil to coat the pan. Add in your shrimp and cook for a few minutes each side until it turns pink and is no longer translucent inside. 
Once the shrimp is just cooked, add the sauce mixture + flour mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer until the sauce has thickened.
I used the same pan to saute some green beans with soy sauce and sriracha! Serve with brown rice. Makes 3-4 servings.

My go to snack or lunch lately has been these prot My go to snack or lunch lately has been these protein packed chicken nuggets 🤩 I keep them gluten free by using crushed up cheese crisps as the “breading,” but you can use any crushed up chip, cracker or even regular breadcrumbs! I’ve seen @shutthekaleup do something similar with crushed up plantain chips and it looks FIRE 🔥 Keep this recipe handy for any time you’re craving nugs!
.
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders, cut into bite sized pieces 
2 eggs, beaten 
1 bag @whispssnacks or any cracker or chip, crushed (I use the bottom of a glass to crush them while they’re still in the bag)
Avocado oil 
Ketchup or ranch to dip!
Instructions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Coat your chicken nuggets in the egg wash then “breading” one piece at a time. Set aside once coated.
Add a generous drizzle of oil to coat your pan and add the chicken nuggets once the pan and oil are hot.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes each side or until chicken is cooked through and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan and do 2 batches if needed. This ensures they get super crispy!
Dip in your sauce of choice and enjoy!
