It's me, Gillean!
My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Pizza Pasta Bake
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Ingredients:
- ½ lb whole grain spaghetti
- 1 jar marinara sauce
- ½ cup mini pepperoni
- ½ bell peppers, sliced into thin slices
- ½ cup portobello mushrooms, sliced thin
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Cook spaghetti to package directions.
In the meantime, in a large skillet, heat a little bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the bell peppers and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Set aside.
In a greased 9×13 casserole dish, toss together the pasta, sauce, peppers, mushrooms and about ⅓ of the pepperoni. Spread it out in an even layer and top with mozzarella and the remaining pepperoni.
Bake for 15 minutes or until everything is bubbling and cheese is melted.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Skip the pepperoni, use nutritional yeast or vegan cheese shreds instead of mozzarella.
Gluten-free: Choose gluten-free or plant based pastas
Kid-friendly: Omit veggies in a portion of the pasta and offer them on the side.
Quick prep: Buy pre-sliced mushrooms and pepperoni.
