Cheesy Millet with Sautéed Vegetables and Fried Egg via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenOn Thursday, I am heading to Maine for the Cabot Fit for the Beach to Beacon 10k race on Saturday. I’ve never been to Maine before and I am super excited to meet up with some blogger friends and make some new ones! I am still in complete shock that I was selected to be part of the Cabot Fit team.

Am I ready for this race? I’m as ready as I can be. Training didn’t necessarily go according to plan, but race day is a whole other ball game that I thrive on. No training run compares to the race day feeling. The positive vibe all around you with everyone cheering you is the absolute best feeling. I have no race time in mind. This is actually the first 10k distance I will be racing at. I have run 5k’s and three half marathons, but no 10k’s just yet. I’m really excited to see how I will do this weekend!

Cheesy Millet with Sautéed Vegetables and Fried Egg via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenWith Cabot sponsoring this trip, it’s perfect timing to feature this cheesy delicious recipe. I’m obsessed with this recipe creation. Since shooting these photos, I’ve made it an additional 3 times.. not even kidding! It has Cabot cheddar cheese, and a fried egg on top, do you need anything more?

Cheesy Millet with Sautéed Vegetables and Fried Egg via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenHave you ever had millet? It is a whole grain with comparable nutrition facts to quinoa with a good source of protein and fiber. Plus, millet is often a cheaper whole grain variety. With whole grains, vegetables, and protein, this is a well balanced meal that can keep you full and satisfied for hours.

Cheesy Millet with Sautéed Vegetables and Fried Egg via RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchenEggs are so versatile, and so is this whole meal. It can be enjoyed as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Runny egg for the win! Are you pro runny yolk or go for fully cooked?

S’mores – it’s a summer time favorite. Summer is not complete without a perfect s’more over a campfire. S’mores creations have really gotten creative lately. Adding a reese pb cup instead of a chocolate square, adding in a brûlée banana slice, or even using chocolate chip cookies instead of graham crackers. I’m thinking a little more out of the box today with a drinkable form.

As crazy as this sounds, my uncle didn’t know what a s’more was. Uhhhh.. what! How do you not know what a s’more is?! And even after my cousins and I explained it to him, he never says it correctly. He pronounces it like s’moré.

With no opportunity being around a campfire or fire pit yet this summer, I had to improvise to enjoy my s’more craving. Simply toast marshmallows by broiling them. NOTE: keep an eye on them! I burned the first batch, oops!

Learn the history of s’mores.

The chocolate almond milk was the perfect addition to make it taste rich and indulgent. It literally tastes like a drinkable s’more. If you have s’mores ingredients at home, it’s time to make a s’more smoothie .. now! You can thank me later.

Skip the packaged trail mix where there are often a laundry list of ingredients and just make it yourself! Try this simple DIY trail mix which is perfect to bring on your next hike or as a grab and go snack!

Gorp (aka Trail Mix) via RDelicious Kitchen
This month has been quite hectic. Work has been busier than ever, Adrain (the bf) is moving, and now I am a day late for the Recipe ReDux monthly recipe. Ahh.. life!
Adrain is moving to south jersey to start Physical Therapy school, so this week has been packing and moving. I am currently sitting on the new couch (that I assembled), sipping on coffee, and writing this post in his new apartment.
Unfortunately, I am not moving here right now. I’m not going to lie, it sucks. From going to seeing each other every day, to only once a week, is going to be a big adjustment. Fortunately, I’m only in north jersey so it’s only about 2+ hours of a trip, which I will finagle getting here as much as I can.

A few weeks ago, we went hiking at the Delaware Water Gap on the Mount Tammany, Dunnfield Creek trail. Adrain is a hiking guru and did a bunch of big hiking trips in college. Also, the website linked is awesome. It has a detailed description and pictures of exactly what your hike will be like and where to go. The guy who writes this blog and his hiking pal (his pup!) have gone on hiking trails nationwide, so definitely check it out for your next hiking trip.
Gorp (aka Trail Mix) via RDelicious Kitchen
Trail mix is one of the most common hiking snacks to bring because it is calorically dense and nourishing for a hike without taking up much space in your pack. I learned some hiking terminology from Adrain. Apparently true hikers call trail mix, “gorp”. Fun fact!

I never buy trail mix from the store. 1) because I enjoy making my own flavor combinations. 2) because in a pre-packaged trail mix there are typically overly salted nuts, sweetened fruit, and other weird ingredients.
Let’s compare my trail mix with a store bought trail mix:

Tired of boring salads? Spruce up your salad with this Blood Orange & Freekeh Salad recipe.

Blood Orange & Freekeh Salad - Recipe by Julie @ RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchen

Is anyone else as sick of the snow as much as I am? If you live in the northeast like me, you know what I mean..
Move over Winter, bring on Spring. My warm bowls of soup cravings have past and now my cravings have moved on to fresh colorful salads.
Blood Orange & Freekeh Salad - Recipe by Julie @ RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchen
I typically always pack a salad for lunch. It’s a sure way I will meet my fruit/veggie quota for the day. Someone I work with noticed my salad routine and asked if I ever got bored of salad every day. Honestly, no! But it’s because I don’t pack a plain ole salad. The key is to pumping it up with various colors, textures, and flavors!

Blood Orange & Freekeh Salad - Recipe by Julie @ RDelicious Kitchen @rdkitchen
I always like to make sure I have a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and plenty of fiber for the salad to keep me full through the afternoon.
Get adventurous! Find foods in your grocery store that you may not always pick up week to week. Blood oranges are fantastic and if you like navel oranges, you’ll definitely enjoy these too!

What do you do when you have an over abundance of zucchini and don’t know what to do with it all? … Make muffins!! Double chocolate zucchini muffins that is.
double chocolate zucchini muffins 3
Two of my biggest nutrition tips for making healthy choices regarding muffins:

1. Make them yourself from scratch

2. Keep the size in check

double chocolate zucchini muffins 2
1. When you make your own muffins, you know exactly what is going in your recipe. Don’t like how much sugar the recipe calls for, simply trim the amount or use healthier swaps like pure maple syrup.
2. I always opt for the traditional size muffin tin when I am baking. Even though I am always trying to make my baked good recipes a little lighter, they aren’t a substitute for a whole meal.
For example, many grab breakfast on the go going to work in the morning. Maybe they pick up a coffee and a reduced fat blueberry muffin. One may think deciding on the reduced fat is a healthier choice, but let’s see how that measures out. Below is an example of a reduced fat blueberry muffin from a popular chain restaurant:

Just by looking at the nutrition facts, it looks like a cupcake in disguise. 410 calories!? 40 grams of sugar !? 26% of the daily value of sodium!? 10 grams of total fat!?

Scroll down a little and look at the ingredients from the muffins I made. Now scroll back up and look at the ingredients in that muffin? Have you even heard of half of those ingredients before? I’m thinking my muffins win!

Real food. Real ingredients. (while sneaking in some vegetables!)
Pair one of these muffins with a glass of milk and a piece of fruit for a balance way to start your day! (instead of a giant sugar bomb!)

Looking for a healthy snack to power you through the afternoon? You’ve come to the right place. These full of flavor homemade PB & J Bites are similar to the store bought Larabars. Careful, they are addicting ;)

When I was younger a peanut butter & jelly sandwich was frequently found in my lunch box for school. Now, I am a working gal in my 20’s and I still pack a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch sometimes. I must say though, I am much more selective of the type of bread, peanut butter, and jelly I use.

I determined a theory in college if snacks were good on-the-go kind of snacks. It was called the “backpack test”. If my snack managed to be still okay by the afternoon getting jostled around my backpack all morning and getting smushed between books then it passed. I’ve made these plenty of times in college because these PB&J Bites passed the “backpack test” with flying colors. Now it’s not so much the “backpack test” but more of a “giant professional bag turned into everyday bag turned into everything I ever need” kind of bag! haha 🙂
