Staying on Track After 50: 5 Faves!
Dear Friend,
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what’s helping me stay on track with my meals—so I thought I’d share a few favorites from my kitchen!
Paul and I have been rotating through the five bowl recipes I shared recently (we’re not tired of them yet!), along with some quick sheet pan dinners and easy stir-fries from my recipe book. Everything is simple, satisfying, and follows my Hormone Balancing Plate guidelines—plenty of protein, veggies, fiber, and healthy fats.
These five kitchen staples have made it even easier to stick with meals that keep us energized, nourished, and feeling our best.
Let’s dive in:

1. Trash Panda Grocery App
I believe the quality of your food is of the utmost importance when you are striving for better health. This little app makes finding the good stuff easy by making label reading a breeze. Just scan a packaged food (like protein bars, yogurts, cottage cheese, meats, or snacks), and it shows you what’s really inside—no more sneaky sugars, gums, or weird oils. I also love that I can personalize it to help me identify products with gluten in them! So helpful for making smarter swaps without the overwhelm. I wouldn't shop without it!

2. Kettle and Fire Bone Broth: Great for flavor, gut health, and protein. I cook my rice and quinoa in this instead of water—it adds flavor and extra protein.

3. Lundberg Organic Basmati Rice for Bowl Recipes!
This gluten-free, sustainably farmed rice has amazing flavor and texture, and it has the Whole Grain Stamp! It’s the perfect base for the hormone-balancing bowls I’ve been making lately. I love that it’s easy to find in stores or order online.

4. My Go-To Protein Powder for Weekday Smoothies: Be Well by Kelly
This clean, grass-fed protein powder only has three ingredients and a smooth, rich flavor—perfect for blending into smoothies or making my delicious protein balls for dessert!
She also offers a plant-based version using Cho Cho beans, which are a complete protein and super easy on digestion.

5. Protein Waffles
My favorite weekend breakfast right now is protein waffles served with an egg + turkey scramble! These are fluffy, satisfying, and gluten-free for a high-protein breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
