Chocolate PB Banana Smoothie
Are you ready for a yummy, healthy smoothie that tastes like a treat?! This smoothie is packed with protein but tastes like a chocolate shake. You could definitely add protein powder to up your protein even more if that’s your thing! Also, oats are supposed to be helpful for your milk supply, so if you’re a nursing mama this might be great for you. Ingredients: ½ c greek yogurt of choice 1 frozen banana 6-8 ice cubes 2 tsp cocoa powder 1 spoon peanut butter 1 spoon nutella ¼ c raw oats 1 c almond milk Instructions: Add all ingredients to the blender and combine for about 1-2 minutes until…

Chicken Fajita Bowls
This recipe is perfect for an easy week night dinner, and it also makes lots of leftovers to use as lunches throughout the week! It’s delicious, healthy, and simple. I prefer recipes that don’t use a ton of ingredients and that taste yummy when reheated. The chicken is very versatile and could be used in several different recipes like tacos, enchiladas, or in a southwest style salad. It’s flavorful and moist. If you try it, let me know what you think! Ingredients: Chicken breasts (I used 2 large Costco sized chicken breasts which made about 5-6 servings) Fajita seasoning packet (could also use taco seasoning) 1/2 packet of ranch seasoning…

My Nursing Journey
From the moment I decided I wanted to go to nursing school, I was pretty sure that I wanted to work in either pediatrics or oncology (or some combo of the two). Like most other nursing students/new grads, I applied at several different hospitals and for various positions. Essentially, I just wanted a job. While in nursing school, I worked as a PCT (patient care technician/CNA) in a hospital on their resource team—meaning I went to whichever unit in the hospital needed me that day. This gave me experience, which was a definite bonus when applying for nursing jobs. My very first interview was at a hospital that I’d had…

Thai Sweet Chili Shrimp & Rice
My husband and I love seafood, and one of our go-to dinner choices is shrimp. I normally buy the frozen jumbo shrimp from Aldi that still have the tails on. I just de-thaw them with water when I’m ready to start dinner and peel them on my own. Shrimp cooks down so much, so I prefer to use the larger shrimp that way they hold onto all the flavor better. You can use whatever shrimp you like…fresh, frozen, large, small- it really doesn’t matter. Once all my shrimp are thawed out and de-tailed, I splash with a bit of lemon juice, add salt and pepper, and set them aside. I…

Breakfast Bake
Every week I make the same breakfast dish for my husband that he loves! He’s one of those people who can eat the same thing every day, week after week and not get tired of it (thank goodness). The best part about this dish is that you can change it up by changing up the type of protein you use (sausage, bacon, chorizo, etc.), add vegetables or potatoes, use cheese or don’t. The options are endless and you can tailor it to whatever you like! First things first, I preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I add 12 eggs to a bowl and whisk them up. I add milk,…

Creamy Garlic Pasta
YOU GUYS. I made this one night when I didn’t have anything on the menu for supper. I took ingredients that I already had in my refrigerator, pantry, and spice cabinet and some how created this delicious recipe that I’d be happy if I’d ordered at a restaurant. First things first- I rarely measure my ingredients, especially if I’m making the recipe up myself rather than following one. Also, these just happen to be ingredients that I tend to have on hand, but you could absolutely sub certain ones out for things you have, or leave something out altogether. Ingredients: – 1 box of Banza pasta- I’ve used the shells…

Serving Others
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” –Gandhi Does this quote not just give you ALL the feels? I’m a nurse, so this obviously makes me think of caring for my patients. When I think about it though, this quote pertains to so many different callings and professions out there—teachers with their students, stylists with their clients, momma’s with their kiddos, accountants with their customers, coaches with their teammates, ETC. So many of us do what we do because we want to help people in some way, shape, or form. I decided that I wanted to become a nurse when I was…

What is the Reflect & Renew 365?!
OK ya’ll, let’s talk about this Reflect and Renew 365 “thing!” What’s it all about?! So basically, it’s a cross-over between a planner and a journaling tool. The layout is pretty simple, with a calming design. I have a spot for you to write the date each day, but I did not pre-date any pages. I’ve always hated when I’ve bought a planner and a whole month goes to waste because it’s started earlier than when I bought it. So, whenever you buy this, you can start using it right away and it will last you for an entire year! I think journaling is SO important, no matter who you…
