These Banana Chia Muffins can be a healthy replacement for your favorite coffee shop treat. These good for you muffins have both quinoa and chia seeds for a superfood packed muffin that still tastes incredible. Sometimes Mondays are just the worst, especially Mondays when you go to bed mentally going through your mile-long to-do list that seems to be growing by the minute. This past Monday was that kind of Monday for me. Ugh. Although I can’t say that these delicious, quinoa and chia packed muffins will magically make the to-do list disappear, they will at least provide 15 minutes of happiness along with a huge cup of coffee. One small win to make a weekday morning a little more bearable.  Now let’s talk muffins. These muffins have a healthy base of cooked quinoa, whole wheat flour, bananas, and chia seeds. To that, we add some simple ingredients – an egg, almond milk, some brown sugar for sweetness (can be omitted), and baking powder. After some time in the oven, the end res...

Never dread meal planning again! Our easy to use meal planning system makes healthy eating and meal planning stress free and delicious. It's the perfect way to kick start the New Year! "Slender Kitchen Meal Plans are the easiest and most affordable way to cook healthy meals for your family. Hands down, this was a game changer for us." - Sarah G.  If you met me five years ago, I seriously hated meal planning. Working full time, totally over-scheduled, and stressed out - meal planning took too long and was a huge headache. And therefore our meal situation – it was a hot mess. I cooked the same things over and over again, ordered take-out too often, wasted so much food, and felt guilty about how I was feeding my family. It just wasn’t working. It was time to make a change. That’s when I discovered meal planning. It changed everything. And now I want to help you do the same thing. We handle the meal planning and make healthy eating easy. Stop wasting time: Delicious...

Crockpot Chickpea Tikka Masala takes just like your favorite Indian takeout but is made at home in the slow cooker for a healthy, satisfying meal. After sharing this Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala last week, there were lots of requests for a vegetarian option, and this one will hit the spot. Tikka Masala is probably one of the most well-known Indian dishes out there and for good reason: It is seriously delicious. The only problem is that usually it is made with heavy cream and therefore packed with loads of calories and unhealthy fat. Luckily it's easy to lighten up this dish by making one simple switch and using coconut milk instead of the heavy cream. Not only does this make the dish healthier since the fats in the coconut milk are much better for you, it also lowers the calorie count. And, most importantly, I think it makes the dish even better. The subtle flavor of the coconut is delicious and a great addition to this classic dish. What are chickpeas made of? Chickpeas...

We are pretty obsessed with Cajun spices in our house and this Cajun Chicken Pasta is at the top of the list. With the creamy sauce and Cajun flavors, it pretty hard to beat. It's almost embarrassing how much I have been making this lightened up Cajun chicken pasta lately. We just can't get enough of the creamy, spicy, smoky sauce and pasta - it's like a bowl full of comfort. Plus you can make it in about thirty minutes with ingredients you probably already have at home. Perfect for a busy weeknight.  This dish was inspired by the many restaurant versions of this dish, except...it's not over 1500 calories a bowl. If you want to be scared for a minute, do a quick Google search. Some of these restaurant versions over 1500 calories and 75 grams of fat. Luckily it's not that hard to make a delicious and healthier version at home with under 400 calories. The key to making this amazing pasta dish is the sauce. It starts with onions, peppers, and garlic. This creates t...

This easy Mexican Shrimp Skillet will be your new favorite weeknight dinner. With seasoned shrimp, black beans, corn, and tomatoes - this recipe is filling, hearty, and healthy. It's a favorite shrimp recipe around here along with these  Blackened Shrimp and Shrimp Fajitas .  With summer on the horizon, I have simple and easy meals on the brain and this Mexican Shrimp dish fits the bill perfectly. From start to finish, it's ready in just 15 minutes and it's a meal that everyone loves. Plus with so many different ways to serve it and delicious leftovers, it's a meal you can repurpose all week.  To really pack in the flavor in this dish, I love to start with sauteed onions, poblano peppers, and garlic. This creates a super flavorful base with just the right amount of spice from the poblano peppers. Next comes the shrimp. Cooking it with the onions and peppers ensures it will have tons of flavor as well. Then to keep things really easy, I used taco seasoning as the ne...
