Thyme to Cook

Blog%20about%20me%20pic_edited.jpg

Hi there! My name is Brittany and I am the creator of these healthy-ish recipes!

I spent so much time eating the same old, boring chicken and veggie meals because I wanted to stay within my macros. I’m not a good cook and I honestly didn’t believe I could make good tasting meals that didn’t wreck my diet. BUT this just made it so much harder for me to stay on track. I would get bored very quickly and start eating unhealthy snacks – and we all know how hard it is to stop eating unhealthy snacks once you start. I eventually got sick of this and started experimenting with making some of my own recipes that not only taste delicious, but are also healthy!!

I started this blog to share these recipes with all of you! I want to save everyone from eating the same meat and veggie meal over and over again. Healthy eating CAN taste good! You CAN cook your own healthy meals and actually enjoy eating them! I am not a trained chef and sometimes I have to remake a recipe over and over tweaking it a little each time until I’m happy with the outcome. I promise that none of my recipes are anything fancy, which means EVERYONE can make them!

I hope you enjoy! If you try out a recipe, let me know what you think!

Sweet Potato & Kale Hash

Sweet Potato & Kale Hash

I LOVE this hash for breakfast topped with 2 over-medium eggs! Try topping it with whatever your favorite style of eggs is - you can also add in more protein by adding in some egg whites too! This hash is SO GOOD and even tastes just as good reheated, so it's a good option if you need to take your breakfast to work with you. You can also get different flavors by trying out different chicken sausages in the recipe. I wouldn't blame you if you ended up eating this for lunch of dinner too, it's that good :).

Mexican Veggie Chicken

Mexican Veggie Chicken

This Mexican inspired dish is full of veggies, tastes delicious, and is super easy to make in just ONE PAN! The best part about this recipe is it can be served with rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or tortillas and all of them taste great! Changing what it is served with is a super simple way to make the recipe meet your individual macronutrient needs! *the pictured dish is the veggie-mexican chicken served over cauliflower rice.

Chopping up the bell peppers & zucchini, along with cutting the chicken breast into pieces, can take up a large chunk of time. If you know you’re making this for dinner, try chopping up the zucchini and bell peppers ahead of time - You’ll be able to get dinner on the table much quicker this way!

Frittata with Peppers, Spinach & Feta

This Frittata is a GREAT breakfast idea. You can make it ahead of time for the week because it still tastes delicious reheated, meaning you can eat breakfast even when you're rushing out the door to get to work on time. This recipe is simple and only takes a few minutes to prepare all of the ingredients. It's high in protein, to help keep you feeling full longer and it's low in carbs - which is perfect for me because I like to pair it with some hashbrowns :).

This is one of my favorite meals to order at one of my favorite restaurants. I decided to make up my own version! It is the perfect way to change up your regular chicken for something that is different (and delicious), but still healthy. Each serving has only 5g of Carbs and 38g of Protein! Add it to some rice for a well rounded meal!

Turkey Enchiladas

Turkey Enchiladas

These delicious enchiladas are full of ground turkey, spinach, and bell pepper and topped with enchilada sauce, cheese, lettuce, and salsa! They are simple to make and are perfect for a filling, healthy dinner! They are so easy to make, they are one of the most common meals I cook up for dinner - especially when I'm short on time!

If you are looking for a lower carb meal, you can use less than 8 tortillas and the same amount of meat. Each enchilada will then have more meat, so you’ll need to eat less tortillas!
