Dairy-Free Family Meal Prep: Coconut Curry Chicken, Salmon Cakes, Broccoli Cheese Soup & More
This week’s family meal prep - {Zesty Parmesan Meatballs, Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad In A Jar, Meal Prep Rice, Tender Crisp Broccoli, Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins}.
39 weeks and 5 days. wowza. after the 1st trimester, time just does its own thing and this 5th round was no different. however, we are ready, ready now. well, at least baby girl and i are. Sonny doesn’t start packing until i start contracting, but this is his 5th rodeo too so what can i say lol! give the video a listen; i listed my hospital bag essentials out below and tagged as much as i could to my LTK shop.
Movie night and pizza night are two traditions our family has enjoyed for years now! However, pizza nights are usually fun for only 5 out of 6 of us ; I typically have to prepare my own separate dish or heat up a frozen, dairy-free pizza for myself because of my lactose- intolerance. I have longed for the day when we could all finally enjoy the same pie,together.
another fun cooking class in the bag! i posted an IG reel from the good footage hubs captured; he is my camera man, my sound man, my chat moderator, and my last minute grocery shopper😬. I love using fresh ingredients and typically go get them the night before I teach. I forgot the purple onion and didn’t realize it until after I got home! ugh!! it happens… and I’m so grateful to have Sonny by my side helping me pursue my dreams.
Hey y’all! the holiday season has come and gone (can you believe it!?) and I’m grateful to be here to serve YOU and rock 2022!
Not only did I make a few goals for myself as usual, but the Egwuatu family sat down and made some together for the first time.
happy 2022, OG blog readers, lol! thank you for being here yet another year we are blessed to see. guess what- FULL video of this Protein Pizza Dough up on my YT channel! leave us a review, a like, and subscribe to our channel to see more. recipe below!
i cannot and will not pick a favorite! no way no how. this reno is most definitely our kids’ favorite though! they’ve now got a pretty amazing game room to work and play in; this was Sonny’s vision brought to life with the help and resources of of some truly talented peeps.
When I tell you guys that I’ve struck gold when it comes to finding high quality food and more at unbeatable prices, you better believe me! Ever have to bounce around to a handful of stores to get all of your shopping done? Yeah, I don’t live that life anymore🙌🏽. I love that I can get the vast majority of my pantry staples at a solid, low price at ALDI. Let me prove it to you with this fancy, budget-friendly weeknight meal!
this recipe is super special to me cause i made it with my mommy ♥️. she was over visiting her grand babies and we did a “meatballs with mom” kinda thing for dinner one night!
peeeeeps.
how?
just how…. is it july!? are you kidding me? like the summer is halfway over already y’all, sheesh. our summer is going quite well and i truly hope yours is too. we’re one vaca in the bag and hoping to squeeze in one more, Lord willing. have you taken a vaca yet or plan to? check out our trip to Kalahari last month if ya haven’t already.
7 days until race day! SEVEN. my first marathon is quickly approaching. my emotions are all over the place. at times i’m at peace. other times, bubble. guts. city.

so about those FITzee bars i was telling you about- well, we love'em. ESPECIALLY my little guy! the older he gets, the pickier his appetite becomes. so, i'm glad he is quite fond of them *wipes forehead*
they make for a healthy, kid friendly, toddler-tested-fitmom-approved snack. this is the Apples 'n Oats bar (whey protein + gluten-free oats + dried apples and cinnamon), but there are 9 flavors to choose from.
so, i talk about the 80/20 rule (80% clean diet / 20% whatever i desire in moderation calculated into my macros) a lot and how i prefer to eat real, low - no processed food over bars or shakes. however, when i do chow down on a bar (and i do), it needs to meet certain standards for me and these do! FITzee bars are:
*all natural
*portable for on-the-go
*cost-efficient
* no mess
* ideal carb:protein:fat ratio
*easy to digest and eliminates hunger
*lactose, wheat, & gluten-free
*naturally sweetened
*low sodium
the result? one amazing energy bar designed to replicate a balanced meal that is suitable for every person and any lifestyle!
they are sweet, chewy and i adore the little chunks of apple and oats in there. see the nutritional contents for each bar on the FITzee Foods menu here.
the latest FITzee Foods meal i'm feelin' is the read beans and rice with chicken andouille.
i added some fresh green onion and shredded cheddar almond cheese on top before i mixed it all together. comfort food at it's finest! i told you, they have it all.

in deep thought at the squat bar during this morning's early workout, as always! i do hope your Thursday was a PRODUCTIVE one. if you don't do it, it won't get done.
le
aaaaaggggghh!
i have great news that i received last night just before hitting the sack.
hey now, fit foodie le was selected to be an Athleta Esprit de She Ambassador, :shock: WOWZERS. what an honor.
'Beyond the finish line, Esprit de She is a community of active women connected by a shared desire to celebrate fitness and fun, sisterhood and strength.'
i love and support their mission and because they are partnered with Lifetime, this deal is that much sweeter! more details to come as they are rolling out this awesome program as you read this.
class this morning was doooope! 1 hour of HIIT done at the crack of dark. i am determined to make yoga apart of my normal workout routine, dang it. one class does WONDERS for my body, immediately. in addition to increased flexibility (duh), i am calmer, any anxiety is reduced, circulation is increased, and i love that no fancy equipment is needed. just yo body (ok and a mat, but that's it). i have always steered clear of yoga cause, well, it's super slow-paced and i'd rather be doing aerial front and back flips or something crazy. but seriously taking your time to stretch is good stuff for your muscles, especially after a great weight workout. even if you don't take an actual class, don't skip post-workout stretching. you can't be on 10 all the time! yoga is physical, mental, & spiritual and just might be the balance you need too.
more news! why? because God is good, that's why.
i received this guy in the mail just this morning from the gorgeous CEO of Fitzee Foods, Michelle Weinstein.
:shock:
i just want to take a bite out of each one all at once!!! thanks a TON, Michelle.
