Welcome to Kimberley Kasper Health & Fitness
With all the amazing fruits and vegetables that are in season and the incredible weather, it’s easy to take dinner prep outside and enjoy all that summer has to offer. The menu this week fits my macros and includes some of my favorites - chipotle chicken salad, shrimp fajitas, and a shallot and goat cheese pizza.
Summer is here! The weather is finally warming up and the kids are home. And that means they’re asking me my favorite question - "what’s for dinner, mom?” a bit more frequently. Dinner this week is full of family favorites including pulled pork sandwiches, grilled salmon with avocado salsa, and some simple salads - perfect for those warm nights.
Between school, work, and after-school commitments, finding time to make a healthy dinner can be a challenge. If you’re like me, there are days where you feel like you are running from work to school, to practice, and back all before dinner. On days like that, having some go-to slow cooker recipes becomes a saving grace. So today I’m sharing five go-to slow cooker recipes your family will love.
Ah, the Fab4 Smoothie…the perfect blend of protein, fiber, greens, and fat to support blood sugar balance, improve digestion, and decrease cravings. The Fab4 smoothie is the best way to break your fast and because the basic recipe is so simple, there are millions of different possible variations to suit every like. This is one of my favorites, the cookies & cream.
After a brief hiatus, my popular “What’s for Dinner Mom” series is back. As the kids head back (or off) to school and summer starts to wind down, many of us are looking for a bit of structure around mealtime and that means knowing what you’ll be having before the day begins. Weekly I like to share what we’ll be making for dinner in our house. Recipes are fresh, healthy, simple, to the point, and and don’t take serious prep work because let’s face it, none of us have the time.
When summer rolls around and nights are filled with dinner fresh from the BBQ, nothing compliments it quite like a potato salad. The coolness of the salad against the tang of the BBQ is just perfection. But all too often potato salads are loaded with unhealthy fats and heavy carbs, making potato salad something I’m not able to indulge in as often as I’d like. That is until I tried this healthier “potato” salad.
I’ve picked up some bad food habits this year and finally reached a point where the things I normally would do to reset weren’t working. I’d do great one day and then go back to bad habits the next. This yo-yo was constant and I began to feel off. Headaches and side pain were frequent, and I felt like I was in a mental fog a little more often than I’d like.
