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 Stuffed Baked Potato
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 20 min
Ingredients:
- 4 Idaho or Russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup basil, chopped into thin ribbons
- ½ cup mini pepperoni
- ½ bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 2 cups arugula
Directions:
Pierce the potatoes with a fork. On a microwave safe plate, place potatoes in the microwave and cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. If potatoes still aren’t tender, cook an additional 1-2 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, heat a little bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the bell peppers and saute for 4-5 minutes until tender crisp. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the pan. Add the marinara sauce to the pan and warm through right before potatoes are done. Preheat the broiler. On a broiler safe sheet pan cut potatoes down the middle, going about ¾ of the way through and open like a book. Top with marinara sauce, bell peppers, shredded mozzarella and pepperoni. Broiler 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and pepperoni starts to crisp. Remove from the oven and top with basil and arugula.
Other Ways to Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Omit pepperoni, use vegan cheese shreds.
Gluten-free: Check pepperoni for gluten containing ingredients.
Kid-friendly: Make it a pizza bar and let them top their own potatoes with their favorite ingredients.
Add spice: Sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes.
