Delicious and Nutritious: My Favorite Recipes from 2025
As we embrace the vibrant days of 2025, one of the best ways to bring joy and health to our lives is through cooking. Families across the Grand Strand of South Carolina have loved exploring new recipes that not only taste great but are also nourishing. Here, I present my top picks for the year—delicious, healthy recipes that your family will love, including adaptations perfect for local flavors!
Protein-Packed Breakfasts to Start Your Day
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and these recipes will not only fuel your mornings but also make them enjoyable. One standout is the Blueberry Protein Pancake Breakfast “Cake”. This recipe can be transformed into muffins, making it a versatile option for busy mornings. It’s fluffy, moist, and an excellent way to kick-start the day with protein-rich ingredients.
Lunch Ideas for a Healthy Midday Boost
Lunch should be both satisfying and wholesome. That’s where my Sheet Pan Hot Honey Chicken and Veggie Glow Bowls come into play. This dish, inspired by popular local eats, features juicy chicken thighs and tender veggies, roasted to perfection. Serving it over quinoa or brown rice gives you a culinary experience that fits the coastal lifestyle. Plus, meal prepping this dish means you can enjoy healthy lunches all week long.
Family-Friendly Dinners That Are a Hit!
As parents in the Grand Strand well know, dinners should be appealing to both kids and adults alike. The Georgia Peach Pizza is a lovely summer treat that balances sweet and savory perfectly with peaches, goat cheese, and mozzarella. And for those cooler nights, Warm Roasted Vegetable Harvest Couscous Salad offers a blend of kale, butternut squash, and a delightful maple tahini apple cider dressing, making it a hearty yet nutritious option.
Decadent Desserts for a Sweet Finish
After a fantastic meal, a sweet treat is always welcome—especially for the kiddos! The Cranberry Orange Muffins are a beautiful blend of tangy and sweet, making them a bakery-worthy dessert at home. These muffins are not just for breakfast; they can enjoy dessert honors too with their melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Baking for Future Health
With so many nutrient-packed recipes available, turning to healthy home cooking can often spur excitement and creativity in the kitchen. Embracing these dishes opens doors to sharing meals with family across Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and even Pawleys Island. And why not get kids involved in cooking as a fun family activity? This year, let’s encourage them to explore and embrace kitchen adventures!

Remember, these dishes are more than just food; they’re part of building connections with our loved ones in our beautiful South Carolina towns.
