Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Image
Looking for an easy, light lunch to make during the week! Look no further! These Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are my favorite quick & healthy lunch! Made with canned chicken, olive oil mayo, grapes, cucumbers, carrots and romaine lettuce. These wraps are super low carb and totally delicious! Make it with me. Growing up (and even still today) I lived on Chicken Salad! It was my very favorite flavor of sandwich! I always took them in my sack lunch to school. I was raised on canned chicken, so I've never looked at it as weird. I know some people are timid when it comes to canned chicken but you shouldn't be!  It's a great, easy source of protein! I have to dedicate this recipe to my little cousin Oakley. She is 7 and she has so much personality. She catches on very quick and is very aware of the world around her. One day, I asked her what she wanted for lunch. She told me that she doesn't eat Carbs. I had to laugh because I'm sure she's heard ...

I Gained Weight on Vacation

Image
Throughout the course of the last couple years I’ve learned a lot about maintenance and how to properly navigate vacations and situations that usually lead to weight fluctuation.  When successfully losing weight there’s a temptation to avoid situations that may limit your control but I urge you not to. You’re soul purpose in life is […] The post I Gained Weight on Vacation appeared first on Instant Loss - Conveniently Cook Your Way To Weight Loss .

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob

Image
Want to know the easiest way to cook Corn on the Cob? In your Instant Pot! That's right, no more waiting for water to boil, boiling over, and no more guessing on the time! Your Instant Pot will make the corn on the cob perfect and delicious every time! Make it with me! I freaking love corn. Like seriously. It's one of my very favorite things in the summer. Once my corn is finished cooking in the Instant Pot, I sometimes like to throw the cobs on the grill and give them a nice little char. I don't do this step every time I cook corn, but it's a fun way to bring more flavor to the delicious corn on the cob! Serious question, do you eat the corn on the cob or off the cob? I'm a cut it off the cob kind of girl. I think having braces for 3 years conditioned me to always cut it off. Instant Pot Corn on the Cob Yields up to 10 2-10 corn husks 1 cup water Butter  Salt &Pepper Before cooking, husk the corn, pull off the silky threads, a...

The Skinny on Body Dysmorphia

Image
Someone messaged me and asked if they could see a photo of me from the side. Long story short, it was because of a thread on Facebook where I was chatting about inflammation. I had Brady snap this photo really quick. ⁣ ⁣ Then he handed the phone back to me and I had to […] The post The Skinny on Body Dysmorphia appeared first on Instant Loss - Conveniently Cook Your Way To Weight Loss .

Self Serve Lemonade Bar

Image
Summer is officially in full swing! When the sun is shining and it's nice and hot outside, it's nice to be able to cool down with a cold, refreshing drink. This Self Serve Lemonade Bar is always a party favorite! Cold lemonade, pebble ice, fresh fruit, and flavored syrups are all you need to make this bar at your next party. It's unique, hands on, and fun for all ages! Make it with me! I do a lot of catering and events and one thing I've learned over the years is that people are picky eaters. Everyone likes what they like, and if they don't like it, they won't eat it. I love doing "self serve bars" because it gives your guests that ability to build their own. Sure, you can put out a thing of peach lemonade, but what if half your guests don't like peaches? When you set everything out and give your guests options, they are going to be happier getting exactly what they want! Plus, it's fun to mix your own drinks! I used my fa...
