It’s day TWO of healthy eats.

This week I’m focusing on easy healthy make ahead recipes. Yesterday, we made breakfast and today, we’re on to lunch!

  • Delicious!

Whether you want to cozy up with a bowl of soup, nosh on a crisp salad, or make up your favorite “bowl” *think chipotle burrito bowl*, I’ve got you covered.
