Let's talk pizza!  On this episode, I chat about how I make Trader Joe's cauliflower crust pizza -- and what I'll be topping it with tonight. I heart buying "blank crust" and topping the way I want to. Sometimes I go veggie with meat on the side. Sometimes I go meat with veggies on the side. Sometimes we even go spicy!  No matter what, sauce, cheese, and some toppings combine into goodness. Listen in for some details and directions. Hoping it all adds up to inspiration for you!  >> Watch + interact live at facebook.com/groups/faithfullywell  >> Get recipes at pinterest.com/risaauger >> Download meal plans -- send me your email address!  >> Do the workouts I do at teambeachbody.com/risaauger #healthy #momlife #beachbodycoach #pizzanight #healthypizza #veggiecrust #cauliflowercrust #whatsfordinner #heatlhyeating #smallsteps #easyhealthy #healthyisyummy #yummy #mealplan #dinnertime #familydinners  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risa-auger/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risa-auger/support

Yes! It’s super true. I finally went live again on the HHM FB Page (facebook.com/groups/happyhealthymeals)! I’m trying a new thing — going live during the day. Taking a quick break while making either my breakfast or lunch (note the kid is NOT home to distract!) Make sure your notifications are on so you can see when to join in. This week I chatted about what to do when you don’t have a plan. For whatever reason, sometimes the weekend gets crazy nutty and you end up skipping the planning portion of your day only to realize on Monday that you have a fridge full of groceries that you have no clue what to do with! Yup. No shame. It happens to me too. What to do? Get organized! Figure out what you have and then decide the order you’re going to use it in, keeping in mind that you’ll need a lean protein, a veggie, and a complex carb at each meal, plus the healthy fat to cook in or drizzle over too. When I’m standing in the middle of my kitchen without a plan, here’s what I do: 1 - pick a cooking method or two, prep them 2 - choose my healthy cooking fat 3 - pick out two fresh or frozen veggies 4 - choose a lean protein (that hopefully is not frozen at this point!) 5 - choose a seasoning profile 6 - decide on a complex carb 7 - Chop, season, cook… enjoy! For example, the last random meal I made was tacos, of course. Because they are seriously my go-to meal. 1- Long sliced two colors of bell peppers + zucchini before seasoning with lime salt to toss in the air fryer 2 - Diced a red onion to sauté. Then added ground chicken to the skillet. I mixed in garlic, cumin + lime juice 3 - Warmed up a few tortillas while putting out hot sauce, jalapeños, and sour cream to add to the tacos upon serving I hope this helps you — knowing that it’s ok when you forget to make a plan — to keep making good choices even when you feel a little off. You know what? Some of the best meals I’ve ever made have been randomly put together at the last minute. So, don’t be afraid! Just stay calm and make a healthy meal. Message me or check out my Pinterest when you need help! Enjoy this episode. More to come soon. Love, Risa PS. Make sure to always have a good breakfast on hand with these smoothie starters. https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/us/d/caf-latte-plant-based-vegan-shakeology-SHKCafeLatteVegan?referringRepID=681607 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risa-auger/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risa-auger/support

On this episode, I chat all about tacos. The fillings, the holders, the toppings.. all of it. Kinda in a shrimp list a-la Forrest Gump style. LOL. Anyway. Tacos are GREAT for about a million reasons… just like there are about a million ways you can make them. OK> maybe not a million. But there are a LOT! Trust me. The essential parts of a taco are: The holder The protein The toppings My best tip for making great tacos is to find your favorite combinations and then rinse and repeat. Try using different types of tortillas or subbing with cheese, veggies, or even an egg. Don’t be shy picking your protein; from land to sea, varying the filling leads to new ideas that might surprise you. Then, for toppings, cheese, avocado/guacamole, sour cream, jalapeños, hot sauce, chiles, salsa, lettuces, veggies, or even seeds work to add to the flavor profile you are aiming for. Listen in for details on some of these. 🌮 Connect with me: FREE facebook group: Facebook.com/groups/happyhealthymeals Get healthy(er) with me: risaauger.com/shop.html THANK YOU SO MUCH for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risa-auger/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risa-auger/support

OHHHHHH it’s sooooo summery in my kitchen (slash in my life) still! You too? Or is that just So. Cal? OH my. This week I’m counting the days to see my dad in person (it’s been since January), I feel like my body is craving a little comfort in anticipation. So, a little bit of warm goodness is about to happen. Monday will be a crockpot night, I’m  adding a little prosciutto to a chowder. Might serve it cold though. Depends on how the day goes. I love that this version is a little lighter - it uses half and half instead of heavy cream. Tuesday - pizza night, gluten free style with some meatballs on the side. Top how you want to. Consider buying frozen meatballs to speed up dinner. We could live on Mexican food in my house. And, sometimes I crave chips so that means I have to choose between them and taco shells. This week, I’m choosing chips with enchiladas as squash instead of tortillas. Sometimes you gotta give into cravings - pasta has been calling - surround it in some fresh goodness to offset the heavy feeling it can bring on. I heart artichokes sooooo much. And, I love this idea of EBTB seasoning on chicken. Such a great alternate than how I usually use it, on toast or celery. SUGGESTED MEALS. Zucchini corn chowder / grilled prosciutto Eggplant pizza / turkey meatballs Lime cucumber salad / chicken + squash enchiladas Spinach salad / lemon + fresh pea pasta + salmon Artichoke salad / everything bagel chicken THANK YOU SO MUCH for listening!

Sneaking in veggies can be a fun challenge - making sure the fam does NOT know they are there! I talk about this a lot, because veggies are packed with nutrients, but not always the go-to in this house. Like a lot of moms, I find myself saying no to seconds during meal time until the veggies on the plate are eaten. Also like a lot of moms, I am all for adding a bit of butter, cheese, or ranch dressing to veggies in an effort to get kids to eat them. On this episode of the HHM Pod, I chat about even more options. Join me live on Mondays on FB around 5pm Pacific to be part of the conversation AND check out past episodes on the go wherever you download pods. . . .
