Real life lately + easy summer recipes for the week


Hi Reader,

Before I get into this week's recipes I wanted to share something I recently posted for anyone who has been following my calorie deficit journey. I dropped my latest update on six weeks in, including what happened when I took a break during the Atlanta retreat and how I got back on track after. I'm sharing everything honestly and I think a lot of you could relate to it!

Protein Cookie Dough

"I’ve made multiple healthy cookie dough and this is by far the best" - Liz

Eating healthy but still not seeing results?

Cookouts, beach days, vacations. It's the hardest time of year to stay consistent. My 6-week coaching program gives you the strategy and accountability to actually enjoy your summer and feel good doing it. We start Monday, July 27th, and you get app access as soon as you sign up.


Dill Pickle Chicken Salad

My take on the viral dill pickle dip but as chicken salad and it’s perfect for meal prep, quick lunches, sandwiches, wraps, or snack plates when you need something easy that still feels satisfying.

20 Minute VIRAL Steak Salad

This one is packed with fresh herbs, juicy steak, chickpeas, crunchy cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and feta all tossed in a bright, herby dressing. It comes together in about 20 minutes and is naturally gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and perfect for an easy summer dinner meal prep.


New Swimsuit + Sunnies

I found the cutest new bikini for my upcoming trip. It fits perfectly and is super flattering. Linking it here along with my favorite sunnies.

These lashes completely surprised me!

I'll be honest, I'm not usually a fake-eyelash kind of girl. But I picked these up for a work conference and they completely changed my mind. They're so easy to apply, comfortable to wear, and give the perfect natural-looking boost. Now they're my go-to whenever I want to look a little more polished without spending extra time on my makeup.

Wishing you the best week ahead! Whether you make one recipe or all eight, I hope something on this list makes your week a little more delicious. See you next Saturday!

Talk soon,

Brittany

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...
