We are back with another Wellness Wednesday post for you all! We have been making some plant-based dishes for dinner that you all asked about, so we wanted to share some of the recipes with you all! Even if you are not plant-based, these are easy to make, and good to serve with fish or chicken, too!
Begin by roasting the squash: Heat the oven to 400 F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Either slice the squash in half using a sharp knife and scoop out the seeds, or place the whole squash in the oven.
Bake for 40 minutes, and then flip over, and cook for another 10-15 minutes until you can pierce a fork all the way through.
Let squash cool, and then if you haven’t already cut the squash open, cut it open and scoop out the seeds.
Use a fork to gently pull the squash “noodles” from the skin.
For the sauce, heat a skillet and add the tomatoes with the liquid over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Chop up the tomatoes and squash into smaller pieces and add them to the pan. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’ve softened.
Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes.
Combine the spaghetti squash with the sauce in a large serving dish, and serve!

We get so many questions about several things: one of them is workwear ideas, which we have shared some in this post and this post. We love this dress for work, or any occasion you have coming up! It is super flattering, and comes in black, too. We love it paired it with this black cardigan and these pointed heels! We are wearing the smallest size in it for reference.On a completely unrelated note, we wanted to share some plant-based recipes we have been loving, or plan on trying!Not going to lie, we always heard “plant-based”, and immediately dismissed it. We thought, “But, how do you get your protein?” It wasn’t until we started not feeling well for a while, that we decided to try it out and see if we saw any changes. We can honestly say we feel so much better. We don’t feel 100%, but it is a step in the right direction. We aren’t focused on protein amounts, just getting and feeling better. You can listen more in our most recent podcast episode.
We are planning on doing a whole youtube video soon on what we eat in a day, but for now it is mainly lemon water and celery juice in the mornings, followed by a smoothie or fresh fruit. Lunch is a big salad or raw veggies and some fruit, and we graze and snack most of the day with fruit, dates, veggies, etc. Dinner is basically the same (a lot of fruits and veggies, sometimes cooked!). It takes a lot to get full and satisfied!Here are some recipes we have been making regularly, or want to make:

It is Wednesday, so you know that means it is a workout post today! Since we shared our daily eats plan in last week’s post, we are going to be sharing another downloadable workout for y’all! In case you missed they first one, you can check it out in this post. Each day (workout) is split into a muscle group with rep amounts, set amounts, and weight amounts. We also are giving a few tips as well. This workout schedule is available for download for $10. It is exactly what we will be doing this week, and you could always re-use this plan for other weeks, and mix and match them. To download the workout schedule, click below:

In case you are new to our blog, or have missed some of our previous posts, we shared our tips for lifting weights for beginners. We love weight training, and are not meatheads at all, haha. Weight training is so important if you’re trying to get more toned and fit. Cardio, alone, will not give you those results. Also, weight training will strengthen your back and core, and prevent injuries. Check out this post for all of the details on that! We also shared a post on our favorite fast food hacks and tips for choosing healthier options in yesterday’s post.
Here are our favorite workout pieces we are LOVING this week {click and scroll through to shop}
This week, instead of sharing one recipe with you all, we thought we would share a bunch of recipes we found that you can make in your crockpot or slow-cooker. We love using the slow-cooker for easy, quick meals. We use this slow-cooker and LOVE it. You can make so many things in it like soups, meats, side dishes, or even breakfasts for the week. Great for busy schedules, which we are all guilty of!Check out the recipes here!
Hope you all are having a great week so far! In case you missed last week’s fitness post, we shared our typical meals each day, plus what our workouts usually consist of for the week. We aren’t going to share that again because it would be extremely repetitive, haha, but if you all think of anything else you want to see, please let us know! See the end of the post for what we ate in one day earlier this week.
We are also sharing a couple recipes we made last week and earlier this week at our parents’ house that a lot of you all were asking about!
Since the weather is so nice out, we thought we would share an outdoor cardio workout that works your whole body out!
As far as cardio goes,we will do anywhere from 30-45 minutes of cardio, usually on the stair master, followed by weight training (each muscle group a different day). Every body is different, and you definitely don’t need to do that much cardio each day, just whatever you feel up to, or feel like you can handle at this time! We used to do ZERO, so just find what works best for you!
Below are some workout pieces we are loving this week [click each item to shop it directly!]:
Lunch: 1/4 chicken + 1/4lb lean brisket with side of veggies at a State Line BBQ
Snack: raw veggies + hummus + some leftover chicken (we usually would eat another full meal, but weren’t as hungry this day)
Dinner: roasted chicken with a big salad (balsamic vinegar + olive oil for dressing) + roasted vegetables in oven (just olive oil and pepper)
Dessert: chocolate protein mug cake (made in microwave) recipe HERE
As far as cooking and meal prepping, we like to have some kind of protein prepped for the week, like grilled chicken or salmon baked in the oven. That way, we can just add it to salads or veggies for lunch or dinner in 5 minutes!
We honestly make roasted brussels sprouts for dinner anytime we are cooking at home! They are SO easy to make. Our next thing we want to try is making the with bacon or turkey bacon, mmm!;)
We made this cauliflower tabbouleh and it was SO good! We can’t eat wheat, so we loved this version! We apologize for the bad photography, we had no intentions of sharing these;)
Cauliflower Tabbouleh Serves: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
½ medium head of cauliflower
1 small garlic clove, very finely grated or minced
juice of 1 small lemon, plus more to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to taste
a pinch of salt, plus more to taste
about ½ a cucumber, seeded and cut into 1cm (½ in) pieces (about 1 cup prepared)
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅓ cup chopped fresh mint
⅓ cup chopped fresh coriander
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the cauliflower couscous, break the cauliflower into florets, then pulse in a food processor 10-15 times for 1-2 seconds each time. Stop when the cauliflower has been broken down into pieces the size of quinoa or couscous.
In the bottom of your serving bowl, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower, cucumber, herbs and spring onions and toss to combine. Season with salt, more lemon juice and olive oil to taste.
