A moment of silence for the best appetizer I’ve A moment of silence for the best appetizer I’ve ever consumed. Made a lazy version of @halfbakedharvest Pan-Fried Brie with Olives and Honey and it is my new favorite thing to eat EVER!!!! I honestly have nothing to else to say. I simplified her recipe a bit, but I highly recommend following Tieghan if you don’t already. A damn genius. 🙏🏼

Ingredients: 
1 Brie wheel
1 egg
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs 
1/2 cup olive oil 
1 cup mixed olives, pitted 
Zest from one lemon
1/2 tsp red chili flakes 
1 tablespoon fresh thyme + more to serve 
2 tbsp honey
Kosher salt & pepper to taste 
Bread and/or crackers to serve 
Instructions:
Beat your egg in a wide, shallow bowl and add Panko to another shallow bowl. Coat the Brie wheel in the egg wash then add to the Panko mixture making sure all sides are fully coated. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1/4 cup olive oil. Once hot, add the olives, chili flakes, thyme and lemon zest. Sauté for about 5 minutes then add the mixture to a bowl and set aside. 
Add the rest of the olive oil and pan fry the Brie for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. 
Place the Brie on a serving dish and top with the olive mixture. Top with honey, a pinch of kosher salt and lots of black pepper! Serve with fresh bread and crackers.

This Healthy Italian Wedding Soup is going down in This Healthy Italian Wedding Soup is going down in Brocc Soup history. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a soup. Baby meatballs, tiny pasta, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, brightness from the lemon juice. HEAVEN!!! It might not be the way your Italian grandmother used to make it, but it is a great healthy spin that will keep you feeling 💯!
.
Ingredients:
Meatballs:
1 lb ground Turkey (mine was 93% lean)
1 large egg
1/2 cup almond flour 
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano 
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper 
Olive oil
Soup:
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, chopped 
2 stalks of celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6-8 cups chicken broth 
1/2 tsp dried oregano 
Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
1/2 cup dry Orzo, arcini de pepe, rice, or any small pasta you’d like! 
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 
1 tbsp fresh dill
2 cups fresh spinach 
1 lemon, juiced 
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese to top 
Kosher salt & pepper to taste 
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients for the meatballs in a medium sized bowl. Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan then coat your hands in oil to form small meatballs (this prevents sticking). Add the meatballs to your hot pan to brown on each side for about 2 minutes (it’s ok if they aren’t cooked through yet). This took 2 batches to make sure there was enough space to properly brown them! Set aside, drizzle more oil to coat the pan, then add onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Season with oregano, chili flakes, salt and pepper then sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add in chicken broth and turn heat to high to bring to a boil. Add in Orzo, meatballs, and fresh parsley & dill. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes. Stir in spinach and lemon juice then season to taste. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top! Makes 6 servings.

This photo is giving me 2017 Brocc vibes and I’m This photo is giving me 2017 Brocc vibes and I’m here for it. I’m fully obsessed with this months #BroccsBookClub book and my current everyday Blueberry Smoothie situation. I would spend $14 on the one from Earth Bar every single day if I could afford it. Not because it necessarily tastes better than this one but because cleaning a blender is my literal nightmare. I started just putting hot water and little soap in side then blending for about a minute. Works like a charm! Still hate it though 😂 ANYWAY, here’s the recipe.

1/2 frozen banana 
1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries 
1 large handful of spinach 
1 tbsp peanut or almond butter 
2 scoops @furtherfood vanilla collagen 
1/2 cup oat or almond milk 
Blend and drink up!!! 💙

Judging by my Q&A yesterday, a lot of you want to Judging by my Q&A yesterday, a lot of you want to see some weight loss tips and recipes from me which is totally understandable after the year we’ve had. I’m definitely trying to clean up my diet right now too! I’ll give you some easy tips but first you must realize that your body is just your body. It doesn’t define your worth or determine your happiness. Appreciate it for what it does for you, make minor changes daily to treat it better and move on with your life. Don’t let your belly rolls or cellulite dictate the way you live your life. Period. 
My main point of sharing these is to give you easy changes you can make in your life that are NOT DIETS. If a certain diet has worked for you that’s great, but for majority of people DIETS DO NOT WORK. They are not sustainable and you will gain any weight you lost right back when you eventually binge from restricting yourself. Here are some easy tips that actually work LONG TERM. 
1. Drink more water. My hydro flask is with me ALWAYS. 
2. Put more veggies on your plate. Like half your plate should be veggies. Rude I know.
3. Limit alcohol consumption to 1-2 days a week. 
4. Find exercise you love and do it daily. On days I don’t do an actual workout, I make sure to get outside for a short walk!
5. If you find yourself eating past 9 pm, focus on eating more throughout the day!
6. When you’re craving something, see if there’s a healthy sub! For example, I love sour gummies so smart sweets is a staple in my house. However, if the sub doesn’t satisfy your craving EAT THE REAL THING in moderation.
7. Don’t deprive yourself. Unless you have an allergy, there is no need to eliminate any food from your diet in order to lose weight. Read that again. 
8. Start each day with a smoothie. It’s a great way to get in tons of nutrients and it’s easy on your digestive system.
9. Sit down to eat without your phone or distractions. 
10. Eat 3 meals a day and try to make any snacks whole food focused, like apples and nuts! 
11. Eat at home. Even if it’s microwave rice, frozen veggies and premade chicken. 
12. Remember that weight loss is about putting yourself in a calorie deficit. There’s room for all foods in your diet in moderation!
When that Mexican food craving hits but you’re t When that Mexican food craving hits but you’re trying to be healthy but you’re also lazy af 👉🏼 Shredded Chicken Tostadas! These are too easy to make and can be made even easier if you want to use rotisserie chicken or leave them vegetarian! I used my Salsa Verde Chicken recipe that is super easy to make in the InstantPot or slow cooker. Enjoy! 🥑
.
Salsa Verde Chicken:
1 12 oz jar salsa verde (or any salsa)
2 large chicken breasts
Mexican Tostadas:
@sietefoods almond flour tortillas (or any tortilla of your liking)
Black refried beans
Shredded Mexican cheese
Shredded lettuce
Tomato, diced
Avocado, sliced
Cilantro
Hot sauce 
Instructions:
Salsa Chicken:
I used my InstantPot to cook the chicken on high pressure for 12 minutes and let it naturally release the pressure to keep it juicy. You can also use a slow cooker 7-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high OR a regular covered pot for 35 minutes to an hour. Shred the chicken once cooked and add back to the salsa to serve.
Mexican Tostadas:
Bake your tortillas at 400 degrees for 5ish minutes or until crispy and light golden brown.
Spread black refried beans over the top and sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top with your chicken (or leave it for vegetarian), shredded lettuce, tomato, avocado, green onion and cilantro. Top with hot sauce and enjoy!
