Hey! I'm Marissa.
I am so glad you're here.
I created Over the Spoon for after years of trying to figure out what meals actually made me feel good.
I landed on a simple combination: meals that are blood-sugar-friendly, high in protein, and built around whole foods just work for me. They keep me feeling steady, satisfied, and energized through long days (without the 3 p.m. crash).
But here’s the thing: I’m not interested in rigid plans, long ingredient lists, or 3 hour prep days.
I believe meals should feel nourishing and planning your meals can be a form of self-care.
My goal is for your Thursday self thank your Sunday self for thinking ahead.
So around here, you’ll find:
- Protein-packed, weeknight-friendly recipes
- Realistic meal planning tips for busy weeks
- Dinner ideas that support your wellness without complicating your life
- A whole lot of cozy, practical, one-pan meals
Whether you’re navigating blood sugar balance, trying to eat more intentionally, or just want dinner to feel a little easier, you’re in the right place.
