Shrimp Cauliflower Fried Rice

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 21 Comments

Shrimp Cauliflower Fried Rice... your favorite takeout food made even healthier (and tastier) at home! We are all busy. And can feel just blah about cooking after a long day... and it’s so easy to just pick up the phone and order take-out... I know I'm game on those crazy nights of the week. What do you often turn to when ordering take out?? Interesting to note, Chinese food is one of the most ordered takeout foods in the US. Because who doesn't LOVE them some fried rice?! Sure takeout seems fast and convenient and it definitely can be, but what if you could have the same meal, just as delicious, just as fast, and a ton more nutritious made right at home?! Enter this yummy bowl of Shrimp Cauliflower Fried Rice. Better for you and quicker too - that’s exactly ... View Post

These tasty bento style lunch boxes are balanced for nutrition, color, and variety the kids will love them.  My nearly 22 month old baby boy starts school today! This is a big milestone (and tear jerker) as a first time parent. I’m so excited about this school year and the fun that little man is going to have… class parties, art, science experiments, and lots of play (can we all go back to preschool?)... but if I’m honest, I’m a little nervous about some stuff too. Will he throw temper tantrums at school like he does at home? Will he adapt to drinking from a cup instead of his sippy cup that he carries everywhere? ... View Post

Gluten Free Peach Pancakes

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 12 Comments

The BEST gluten free peach pancakes you'll ever eat. Light, fluffy, and just peachy. Gotta get you some. These Best Pancakes Ever, Seriously {Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes} are one of the most popular recipes on my site. I'll go ahead and tell you upfront that I cheated on this recipe for Gluten Free Peach Pancakes because it's a remake of that all-time favorite recipe, but with peaches this time! It's so worth it you guys... because right now the peaches are so fresh and juicy. If you're not gluten free, just use regular all purpose flour in this recipe-- it works interchangeably!   You want to know my favorite part of testing this recipe?? That shot right there-- the bite!!! Better believe I ended up eating gluten free peach pancakes for lunch on photoshoot day. Oh and you ... View Post

Peaches n Cream Protein Shake made with simple whole food ingredients: fresh juicy peaches and cottage cheese.

Peaches n Cream Protein Shake

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 21 Comments

Peaches n Cream Protein Shake Made with simple whole food ingredients: fresh juicy peaches and cottage cheese. Gimme! If you're looking for a protein shake that's made with real food, look no further than this Peaches n Cream Protein Shake. Many of my clients are trying to "get back to the basics" with their nutrition as to not rely on powders for protein and instead eat the whole food. Cottage cheese is a great addition to smoothies because it's rich in protein, specifically the amino acid leucine that's important for the development of lean muscle tissue, repair and also helps with fat loss. And the best part about adding cottage cheese to a smoothie is it gives an irresistibly creamy texture! I love how simple this recipe is-- blend peaches and cottage ... View Post
