Easy Homemade Granola

I love granola and all the healthy potential it could have, but sadly, the majority of store- bought granola is anything but. It’s packed with cane sugar, unhealthy oils like canola, and usually not gluten free, or organic. However, my solution for delicious, nutritious and actually healthy granola is very simple! You can make this in large batches and store in an airtight container; ready-to-eat as is, and use as toppings for yogurt anytime! Feel free to get creative with y

Magical Vanilla Chia-Oat Pudding

Lately I've been really feeling the chia puddings for breakfast. As the weather gets warmer, I'm still craving a hearty breakfast (mind you, I'm 5.5 months pregnant), but don't want anything hot. This magical vanilla chia oat pudding is more like a dessert than a breakfast, and that's just what mom and baby want, lol! It's creamy, filling, full of protein and omega 3 fatty acids as well as high- fiber and happens to be vegan: also just what the doctor ordered! So here's m

Creamy Polenta with Mushrooms and Spinach

I'm really excited to share this dish for two reasons: 1, because it brings me back to some wonderful childhood memories, when my grandmother would make my sister and I breakfast at her house on the weekends we slept over. I could literally smell the creamy polenta in my memories! And 2, because I think breakfasts can get redundant, especially if you go for the same types of choices like salty breakfasts or sweet breakfasts, or breads, smoothies, etc.. While I'm generally

Best Baked Chicken Ever

This is a meal I've been making for years, and it's a family and dinner- party guest favorite! It also happens to be really, really easy, almost to a fault. That's what makes it a perfect week-night meal, and amazing as leftovers to pack for lunch, or even elaborate upon your next dinner like chicken tacos, chicken fried rice or pasta with chicken. I make this winner winner chicken dinner at least 3 times a month. You can also make this with two types of chicken; skin- o

Blueberry Glow Detox Smoothie

Can we say glowing skin, leaner physique, and more energy? Yes please!! 😃 I’m always coming up with different smoothie recipes because there’s so much to love about a smoothie. It’s fast, easy, delicious and can be nutritious if made with the right ingredients. But wait, you can take it a step further and make it a super smoothie that has added benefits too! First off, I believe no smoothie needs sugar, at all...unless you’re climbing Mount Everest every day (and not even

Move of the Week: LOVE HANDLE ERASER

Minimizing love handles are not an easy task, especially for post-natal, and older women. However, with some hard work and the right exercises, it IS possible. First, let's not forget that diet plays a huge role in losing excess fat, which is what love handles are mainly comprised of. That means, eating clean (Fit Foodie style of course!), and getting the proper amount of nutrients to support fat burning and overall good nutrition. However, there is the muscular/ connectiv

What I'm Eating These Days

Food trends come and go, and I'm no stranger to trying something new, especially when it comes to food and nutrition! A lot of people ask me what I eat on a regular basis, and if you really want to know, just check my instagram because I frequently post my meals there (when I don't engulf them before I realize I haven't taken a "pretty" pic, lol). Some of you may be surprised to see what I eat.. especially when it comes to FAT... ooh, big, bad ol' fat! I said it! With grow

Banana Oatmeal Breakfast COOKIES!

Revised 2021 This is a super- moist, hearty and delicious cookie that’s free of refined sugar, dairy-free and can be made vegan, and nut-free, if desired. It’s also gluten-free with the use of gluten-free oats, and an excellent grab-n-go breakfast! Now, I’ve tried several variations of this recipe, and I have to say I enjoy mine the best because they’re not gummy, or bland, but they’re also healthy and satisfying.. PLUS, and this is a big one.. they’re very easy to make :-)

Blueberry Muffins

They're super moist, not too sweet, and perfect for breakfast or a snack without all the guilt that comes from a traditional muffin (aka trans fats, refined sugar [TONS of it!], zero fiber, etc.). They happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free and there's also an easy vegan option ;-). You're welcome, and enjoy! P.s. Here's one of the ways I enjoyed my super moist muffin this morning- with a side of banana and peanut butter, of course! 😋 INGREDIENTS: Dry- * 4 tablespoons coconut

La Napoletana main course

If this looks something like a pizza, it is no wonder because it takes many of the familiar Neapolitan ingredients in a pizza and turns them into a healthier, satisfying main course! I created this dish with love for my family, to bring familiar flavors into a Fit Foodie- style meal ;-) INGREDIENTS * 1 lb of chicken, pork or veal cutlets (always look for organic and/or naturally raised animal protein) * 6 garlic cloves smashed * 1/2 onion slicked * Sunflower oil for cook

Hello Homemade Humus!

I love humus- it's an addicting savory Mediterranean spread made of chick peas that I've had numerous times in Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants. Although the name varies from culture to culture, the taste is pretty much the same in all the cuisines. So if you've had the real thing like me, and then you go to the store to buy a container of ready-made humus, only to be disappointed by a bland, too-tart, imposter spread, you're not alone! Homemade humus tastes WAY better
