Sweet Potato Casserole that doesn’t taste like shit or have 700 g of sugar! Christmas came early ya’ll!!! On the real, who actually likes sweet potato casserole with the marshmallows on top? Sick. I was looking up the traditional recipes for this and it legit is half sugar half potatoes. HARD PASS.

This dish is much different than the traditional recipes. It’s still sweet, but just has a bit of maple syrup to help bring out the natural sweetness in the sweet potatoes already has. You will also want to straight up eat the pecan topping on it’s own and I am here to let you know that is fine by me! Hope you love this one.

Sweet Potatoes Casserole

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups steamed sweet potato with skins removed 3-4 large potatoes
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Candied Pecan Topping:

  • 1 cup raw pecan halves
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Steam your sweet potatoes (I microwaved mine for about 8 minutes each side until soft. You can also bake them at 350 for 1-1.5 hours). Scoop out the inside of your potatoes into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skin. Add the egg, butter, maple syrup, salt and cinnamon and combine with a fork or mixer.
  3. Scoop the mixture into a baking dish and set aside.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add in your butter, pecans, maple syrup and salt. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes then add to the top of the sweet potato mixture.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is crispy and golden. Top with sea salt flakes and serve!

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!
