Easy dinners, fresh lunches + summer picks I love


Hi Reader,

Happy Saturday! I don't know about you, but life has felt really full lately with the end of the school year approaching... conferences, field trips and plotting out our summer plans.

What's been saving me — truly — is having a solid rotation of meals that are easy, high-protein, and actually taste good.

I'm still in the midst of my calorie deficit (read my week 3 update here). I had a little stall with work travel in week 4 but I'm still feeling really good and ready to hop into week 7!

For this week's meal ideas, I switched up the formatting a bit. I'd love for you to reply to this email and let me know your thoughts on it if you have a minute. Enjoy!

Six weeks into this deficit and I wanted to give you a little update. Just tuning in? Check out my week 1 update and week 3 update first! Week 4 of the calorie deficit was the first real challenge because I headed to Atlanta for the Fresh Air Retreat, a food blogger/creator retreat. Before leaving, I was fully planning to stay focused and track everything, but once I saw the itinerary I decided it might be a good time to take a little break from the deficit. Because this is a food blogger...
