Clean Dinner Recipes
Clean eating can feel impossible when you are trying to meal prep for a family. I love clean dinner recipes that are easy to prep and save so you can enjoy them for a few days rather than just one! These are a few of my absolute favorites.

Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas with Avocado Cilantro Crema
Along with it’s abundance of bioavailable protein, iron, minerals and B vitamins (all especially important to consume during your period due to blood loss) this recipe is SO easy to make. The bulk of the work lies in slicing, and it’s truly not intensive (just thinly slice 2 bell peppers, an onion and the steak, or see if you can find your meat already sliced at the butcher or deli counter!) and the dishes are minimal (thanks to the sheet pan approach). You can even skip the avocado crema in favor of sour cream and sliced avocado to save extra time, although I will say the sauce adds so much creamy, delicious flavor and also tastes great as a leftover condiment for bowls or breakfast tacos.

Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Beef Bowls
Apparently, ground beef bowls are also having a moment, which I’m all about! I, too, have an affinity for ground meat (as I mentioned here) thanks to it’s affordability, ease of use (truly the easiest to cook), versatility (bowls! burgers! stir-fry!) and nutrient-density (it’s rich in protein, collagen and amino acids that are important for hormone synthesis and a healthy menstrual cycle). And while all types of ground meat are great, I especially love beef during the menstrual phase, as it’s one of the best sources of bioavailable iron (aka easy for your body to absorb and utilize) in a time of your cycle where it’s critical to replenish lost stores due to blood loss.

Smoky Grilled Pork Chops + Peach Salsa
Pork is an excellent source of protein, with 1 four ounce pork loin chop containing 30 grams of protein per serving! It’s also loaded with amino acids (needed for proper liver detoxification) along with B vitamins and minerals (primarily iron and magnesium) needed for thyroid function (metabolism) and hormone production. Peaches are packed with antioxidants that combat oxidative (pro-tip: fresh, in season peaches have higher levels than canned) as well as lignans, a type of polyphenol that has been shown to reduce cortisol levels. And these two ingredients come together beautifully in this great summer dinner recipe! Snag all the details on the blog now!
Grilled Skirt Steak with Blistered Tomatoes + Burrata Salad
Guys, I’m calling it! This is one of the BEST summer recipes I’ve ever created. It’s giving major Caprese salad vibes, but more filling and flavorful — thanks to the addition of the grilled skirt steak and replacement of mozzarella for it’s creamier, dreamier cousin, burrata. Despite it’s gorgeous presentation, it requires minimal effort to throw together (marinate the steak, grill the steak, blister the tomatoes, assemble your salad), it’s nourishing, protein-rich and satisfying without being overly heavy, and it is a mega crowd pleaser (everyone I’ve made it for is obsessed). You can serve it family/platter style or in individual portions, making it a versatile option for both hosting or if you’re cooking up dinner for just you and/or the fam.
Street Corn Chicken + Rice Bowl with Cilantro Jalapeño Ranch
All of the best summer flavors in one bowl that will satisfy your luteal phase cravings in a nourishing + hormone healthy way! As I was developing this recipe (which I typically do 1-2 months in advance and taste test a minimum 3x), corn wasn’t yet in season, so I was using canned organic corn (which still tastes great). However now that fresh corn is available and in it’s prime, it truly elevates this bowl to the next level. Basically what I’m saying is don’t sleep on making this during peak corn season, aka this summer! With that, let’s get into the recipe and hormone healthy nutrient details.
