Perfect for Memorial Day Weekend!

We can’t get enough of this Strawberry Shortcake Trifle! With moist yellow cake standing in as “shortcake”, fresh strawberries, and homemade whipped cream, this light and airy dessert is a perfect treat for spring and summer and made entirely from scratch. 

Easy to prepare, it’s an irresistible crowd-pleaser that will brighten up any gathering.

This is the type of recipe our readers go crazy over. 

Slow Cooker Carnitas are a dump-and-go crock pot meal that is easy, freezes well before or after cooking, and feeds an army. 

Give the tender, shredded meat at the end for that extra crisp!

Ever had a Ranch Smoothie? I kid, I joke.

But I’m dead serious about this. Once you’ve made your own ranch dip, it’s hard to go back to store-bought. We’re talking massively better taste AND a far cleaner ingredient list!

So, I know you’re thinking, “cottage cheese in this one?”…Yep, just trust. It blends into a delicious tangy base that adds a lot of protein. You will never know there is cottage cheese in there.

I could eat this every single week and be so happy. I hope you enjoy it too.

👉Comment RECIPE and I will send it your way.

👉Or Google “Thriving Home High Protein Ranch”.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to cook much this summer. I want to spend these lovely evenings outside, relaxing, and hanging out with my people. ☀️

That’s why I recently spent a few hours prepping 24 freezer meals. While it was a bit of work on the front end, it feels SO good to know I have meals prepped for months!

The good news for you… I’m sharing my ENTIRE playbook for free so you can do the same. 

It’s way too much for a caption, so just comment “Summer Prep Session,” and I’ll send you one big email with:

✅ My step-by-step method
✅ Every single recipe I used
✅ Lessons I learned along the way
✅ My favorite prep tools & FAQs

We considered charging $ for this but decided to just give it to you all. Take advantage before we change our minds!!! �

Chicken Fajita Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make Tex-Mex inspired dish that combines the flavors of tender chicken, sautéed veggies, salsa, and spices. 

The filling is wrapped in a warm tortilla and then baked under a blanket of cheese until melted and bubbly. It’s a satisfying, freezer-friendly meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Cook once, eat twice!

Use this simple Lemon Garlic Chicken Marinade to make two freezer meals. Eat one tonight and pop one in the freezer for later. 

Thanks to fresh lemon, garlic, thyme, and more, this bright and flavorful marinade completely transforms any cut of chicken.

Serve it on top of our Creamy Lemon Pasta or Quinoa Tabbouleh for a delicious meal or with our Easy Tzatziki Sauce on the side.
