Easy Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Potatoes & Royal Raisins

Image
This post is sponsored by Nuts.com . As always, thank you for supporting CNC!  We’re all about healthy and EASY recipes in our house, especially when it comes to dinner. Most nights, we’re rushing home after a workout or straight to daycare to pick-up Qman, so dinner needs to prepped ahead of time or a simple meal that comes together quickly with minimal ingredients and directions. And, of course, the fewer dishes and things I have to clean up, the better! This Easy Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Potatoes & Royal Raisins  is the easiest recipe ever and always turns out well. The entire meal is cooked in just one pan (hooray!), so everything finishes cooking at the same time and there’s not a ton of clean up afterward. The combination of chicken breast with roasted potatoes and Royal Raisins is hearty, satisfying, and, ohhh, so tasty. We especially love how the savory and sweet flavors compliment each other so well. Holy yum! We sometimes pair this recipe with a green veggie sid

9 Trends of Primal Interest

Image
I get a lot of industry news. I eat out a fair bit. I talk to people whose job it is to spot and track health trends. I’m privy to some of the greatest, most innovative minds in the alternative health community—my readers. And you guys are always sending me interesting links. Today, I’m going to discuss some trends of Primal interest. I might poke fun at some of them, and others might be relatively small-scale, but even the silly or minor ones point to interesting movements in the health and fitness zeitgeist. So, what are the 9 I’m highlighting today? Experiences over Things In 2015, I wrote about the dichotomy of value between experiences and things , pointing to research suggesting that buying experiences brings more joy and meaning to a person’s life than buying material objects. I explained how our hunter-gatherer evolution probably wired us to get more out of experiences, and I dug a bit into my own opinion on the matter. People appear to be agreeing with me.

Monday In Meals + My Philosophy On Counting Macros

Image
Good morning! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! Since it’s Tuesday, it’s time for another edition of Monday In Meals where I share what I ate throughout the day on Monday. I love sharing my eats, especially at the beginning of the week, because it’s motivation for me to stay on track and it often sets the tone for the days following. With that, here’s a recap of my meals and snacks yesterday! Breakfast : Scrambled eggs with shredded hash browns (365 brand), baby spinach, and  Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend , which is PHENOMENAL and, if y ou don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, you can Amazon Prime it right to your front door! Snack : Half of a waffle with Justin’s Maple Almond Butter + red grapes Lunch : Trader Joe’s Giant Bake Beans in Tomato Sauce (liked, didn’t love) mixed with shredded chicken, cauliflower rice, and broccoli + a Beauty Burst Pre-workout Snack : Brownie Crunch Think Thin Bar <— I freakin’ love this bar! It’s tasty a

Bald Head Day 1: From Storms To Sunset

Image
We had such a nice time on Bald Head! It’s Mazen’s favorite place ever, and it was Thomas’s first visit. Our drive down was quite scary with torrential rain and storms, but once we arrived the skies cleared and we had such great weather the whole weekend. Check out our greeting party waving wildly from the dock! As we usually do in the off-season, we stayed at the Marsh Harbor Inn. Mazen is on spring break this week, but we still did some writing in the sand! My cubes all unpacked We freshened up and joined my parents for cocktail hour, enjoying the sunset on the deck. Stella & Dot represent x3 Studmuffin. Love his little Sperry shoes  that I got on sale last fall! We all piled into the golf cart to head to dinner at the Club. Wheee! I had fish tacos, sweet potato fries, and a beer! We spent Saturday at the beach – tell you all about it soon!

Clean Eating Almond And Fennel Muffins Recipe

Image
In looking back over my clean eating holiday recipes, I realized I don’t have many for the spring holidays. I mean, there are many of my recipes that can be used for the holidays this time of year, but few of them are specifically for that. So I started thinking about what I’ll be making this Easter for the family, and even for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We’ll be spending Easter in the East Bay with Mini Chef’s grandparents, and I just can’t go empty handed! I love these because they are easy to make and easy to transport. That’s important when you have to drive a long distance with food in the car! These muffins are right on the verge of becoming popovers, but the whole grain flour keeps them muffin-shaped. So if you love popovers, these goodies are flavored just right for the upcoming spring holidays. Slightly sweet with almond and fennel added, these are sure to please. And if you’re feeling really adventurous, add in a few golden raisins! Yum! These are, as with many ty
