Monday In Meals + What’s Next for CNC

By

Hi, guys! Happy Hump Day!

Before I get into my weekly Monday In Meals post, I just want to let you know where CNC is headed. After a few months of feeling totally burnt out and like I need to do ALL the things ALL the time, I’m finally finding balance that works for my family and me. CNC has gone through quite the transition over the years– from sharing EVERYTHING about my life to sharing much less. And, honestly, it’s just hard to figure out how much of my personal life to share now that I’m a mom.

Yesterday, I shared a little snapshot of life lately, which some of you loved, but others of you really didn’t like. I truly appreciate all of your feedback since I want CNC to be something you look forward to reading on the regular! When I surveyed you guys back in December, the majority of you said that you love posts about my life. While I still plan to share little slices of life here and there, my goal is to make CNC a resource for healthy living– from quickie recipes and awesome workouts to products I’m loving and tips and tricks for balancing it all. So, that’s where CNC is headed. And, hopefully I can find that sweet spot where my daily life is mixed in, too. And, of course, I’m always over on Instagram Stories, doing my thing and sharing random photos and videos from my everyday life!

Ok, now onto Monday In Meals!

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with roasted sweet potatoes and chopped spinach (frozen). Quick how to: Melt better in pan on stove top, saute spinach until not frozen/soft, add sweet potatoes (Sunday prep), scrambled eggs, and cook until done. Takes less than 5 minutes!

Workout: Solo workout (on @carrotsncake Instagram) at Norwell Athletic Club.

Qman’s new favorite game is “hiding” in the bushes. He whispers: “Hide, hide” and then attempts to disappear into whatever bush/tree he can find. Haha!

Post-workout: SFH + iced coffee + almond milk and a LARABAR.

Snack: Two rice cakes with cashew butter spread on top. <— I had 3 back-to-back calls, so I ended up wolfing-down rice cakes between them.

Lunch: Roasted butternut squash with ground chicken and shaved Parmesan.

Snack: Savory Honey & Gruyere Muffin (recipe coming to CNC soon) with butter melted on top.

Dinner: Crockpot Chipotle Honey Chicken (recipe coming to CNC soon –> so damn good and only 4 ingredients) over roasted sweet potatoes.

No dessert because I was exhausted. I put Quinn to bed and went right to sleep myself.

The end.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
