Asparagus gets a bad rap! Not sure why, because I find it quite delicious! However, it can get kind of boring to make all the time. A little bit of spices and cheese can go a long way! It gives the asparagus a nice flavor without being overpowering. Ingredients: 1 bunch of asparagus, rinsed and ends …
SUPER easy and fast recipe that I can make ahead of time during my Sunday Funday food prep. I like to eat as fresh and unprocessed as possible. Frozen lean turkey burgers are great and convenient; however, they have higher sodium levels because of the packaging. When I make these, I like to add grated zucchini …
Flourless bread? Without sacrificing taste? Yes and yes! Such a simple recipe yet is moist, flavorful, and a perfect “treat” for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea. Apples and cinnamon both have high levels of antioxidants, and cinnamon actually helps stabilize blood sugar levels! Yay for flavor and health benefits! Ingredients: 2 scoops vanilla …
A great appetizer dish that is creamy, satisfying, and a sneaky way to get extra veggies into your day. It can be served warm or cold and leftovers taste great mixed in with your eggs in the morning 🙂 Ingredients: 3 cups frozen organic chopped spinach 1-2 cups fresh organic spinach 1 cup diced onion …
Can you tell…I love baking? And I love my sweets??? These cookies are easy, delicious, and above all healthy. Unlike most of my other recipes, these call for oil/butter, so this falls under the treat category for me, something that should be enjoyed in moderation 🙂 However, this is a GREAT alternative to a standard …
Chocolate + Peanut butter?? Only one of the best combinations ever! I really like this recipe because it doesn’t call for any black beans (which you need a food processor for) yet they are still gooey and very rich! The yogurt provides a great texture and added protein as well. They have a great rich …
Candied & Spiced Nuts…without any added sugar or fat??? Why yes, it’s true…and very much possible to make! Candied nuts can be very dangerous; nuts are calorie dense because of their high fat content, and then add in sugar and more fat…it can be a double threat! Thankfully this recipe is super easy and healthy …
Super, super easy to make and can be used on top of protein pancakes, muffins, whole wheat toast…be creative! You can even just eat it by itself, or chill in the fridge or freezer for a pudding/ice cream texture 🙂 Makes about 2 servings Ingredients: 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree 1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt …
These pancakes are the perfect Fall breakfast…they are moist, full of flavor, and totally clean! This is using my basic protein pancake recipe and instructions (click here for the original and directions) but I substituted 1/3 the cottage cheese for canned pumpkin puree. Ingredients: 1 cup dry old-fashioned oats 1 cup egg whites 2/3 cup …
