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.

You Won’t Miss the Meat Veggie Panini
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients:
- 8 slices whole grain bread, toasted
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 bell peppers, cut into thin slices
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- ½ red onion, sliced thin
- 1 fresh mozzarella cheese ball, cut into thin slices
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 F. On a sheet pan put bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, toss with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until veggies start to brown.
In a large skillet, heat a little bit of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add in garlic, cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add red pepper flakes, spinach, salt and pepper. Cook until spinach is well wilted. Remove from the pan and set aside.
On one slice of bread, layer spinach, peppers, onions, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread. Toast in a panini press or on a large dry skillet until golden brown on both sides and gooey in the middle.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Remove the cheese or swap out for vegan cheese shreds.
Gluten-free: Use your favorite gluten-free bread instead of whole grain.
Quick prep: Use frozen bell peppers and onion mix.
Kid-friendly: Leave out or add in the toppings they love.
