I started Jar Of Lemons to make healthy eating feel doable, not overwhelming.

As a mom of three, I know it’s about more than just getting dinner on the table. It’s about feeling good in your own life, too! At Jar Of Lemons, you’ll find balanced, protein-forward recipes that are quick, comforting, and full of flavor. From 30-minute dinners to high-protein snacks and make ahead breakfasts, these are real-life recipes that are tested, easy to love, and made to bring a little more vibrance, ease, and joy to your everyday table!

30-Minute Dinners

Busy weeknights call for quick dinners! Here you’ll find my top healthy dinner recipes that come together in 30 minutes or less, no complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients required. From sheet pan meals to one-skillet dinners to quick bowls, these are the recipes I turn to on my busiest weeknights when I still want something that tastes amazing. Low effort, high reward, and perfect for the entire family!

High Protein

These are my top high protein recipes that go above and beyond! Breakfasts, dinners, and treats with 20, 30, even 40+ grams of protein per serving, without sacrificing flavor. These are the recipes I lean on to hit my own goals while still enjoying what I eat!

These Honey Sesame Chicken Meal Prep Bowls are SO good and perfect for healthy lunches and dinners. Made with crispy, lightly fried cubed chicken tossed in a honey sesame sauce, then combined with fluffy lime rice and sauteed snow peas, Brussels sprouts, and carrots.

Protein Treats

Biscoff Ice Cream

Oh. My. Goodness. This Biscoff Ice Cream recipe is creamy, sweet, and one of my favorite summer treats right now! It's infused with that signature warm, spiced flavor of Biscoff cookies in every single bite and I'm completely obsessed. Made with just 5 simple ingredients and super easy steps, it tastes every bit as indulgent as store-bought ice cream but secretly has 24 grams of protein. My kids and I love this easy ice cream, it's a dream come true!
