Super simple orzo recipe - it for sure takes closer to 20 minutes (learned that the hard way) but it's delicious. I added garlic and onion powder. You can also use chicken broth to cook the orzo for more flavor!

I kid you not, this meal kept me alive through college. It's all in one pot and it's SUPER easy. I cook some bacon (separately bc it doesn't get crispy enough in the pot) and mmmmhhmmmm that's the move. Easy one-pot dinner!

I recently decided to try Javy and I'm not disappointed! Normal coffee makes my stomach hurt - this doesn't! I ordered the protein coffee, but next time, I'm going to order the coffee extracts. Have you tried them before?

A great dump and go recipe. Meals like this are the best! You can mix these ingredients and put it in the freezer until you’re ready to make it. Take it out the night before, pop it in the crockpot and let it do its thing!

The KIND brand overall is SO good! I go through phases where I can't get enough granola bars (idk why I am the way I am) and I only buy the KIND brand. I used to be a Quaker girl until I scanned it and saw it had a horrible rating on Yuka for unhealt...

The vanilla and peach are my favorite - there are peach chunks in the peach flavor so make sure you keep that in mind if you're sensitive to texture!

Kevins brand typically varies between 70-80's on Yuka (meaning it's good or excellent according to their ratings) and I have yet to try one that wasn't good. I like to make rice and some kind of veggie with it, but these are worth trying out for sure...

I switched to almond milk about 3 years ago and I just love the taste! It rates excellent on Yuka and there are different flavors (chocolate and vanilla) if you want to go that route!

I get these from Costco. They taste good and rank well on Yuka, but they aren't super high. They're a 51/100 but they are the highest ranked that I've found - Do you have a healthier brand that you like?

We make our own ginger ale and use this (and the lemon flavor) to mix the ginger syrup to make healthy ginger ale! I HIGHLY recommend trying it because it's better than any store bought ginger ale.

This is another Costco find that's delicious! It rates Excellent on Yuka. We nuke it in the microwave for a few minutes then cut it up and put in our breakfast sandwiches (bagel, egg, cheese, sausage) - just delicious!
