Heavenly Chicken
Chicken stuffed with fresh roasted red peppers, mushrooms and feta with a white wine sauce to die for. Serve it with Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts for the most deliciously perfect dinner a girl could ask for.
How To: Roasted Red Peppers
In 30 minutes, you can make your own roasted red peppers. It's an easy and delicious way to add color, flavor and depth to any meal, without the preservatives and artificial whatever's that are found in the prepackaged versions.
Roasted Italian Spaghetti Squash
If there is one thing in life I could eat for days, it would be pasta. With butter and cheese? Yes ma'am I'll eat the entire bowl in under two minutes. Unfortunately life doesn't work like that so I need a healthy alternative to pasta so I can actually eat a whole bowl and get upset about it. Spaghetti squash isn't going to taste exactly like pasta, but it serves it's purpose. My Roasted Italian Spaghetti Squash recipe gives each ingredient it's own stage, allowing each flavor to pop with fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic.
Caprese Cauliflower Pizza
Cauliflower can be such a versatile vegetable. I've seen it done so many ways, yet this is by far the best way I have ever eaten cauliflower. What you get is a flavorful, thin and crispy crust topped with fresh ingredients. You'll be surprised at the amount of flavor you get from these, with no grains whatsoever. Imagine eating an entire pizza and not feeling guilty afterwards? Here's your answer, enjoy!
Carrots Two Ways
Roasted Carrot Fries are a wonderful way to add more vegetables to your plate with plenty of flavor and more nutrition than you would get from a regular french fry. This recipe can also be done with parsnips, zucchini or butternut squash and perfect for any clean eating diet.
Quick Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Cookies
With only 46 calories per cookie and only a few ingredients, these are a perfectly quick breakfast with tons of nutritional benefits. It all began with one lone banana just sitting on the counter, forgotten. Throw in some old fashioned oats, a little vanilla, some ground flax seed, a dash of cinnamon and a handful of raisins and out comes a delicious little cookie.
How To: Leek’s
As I get more and more into the world of total and complete clean eating, I'm discovering all these vegetables that I'd never considered before. Leeks came into my kitchen while I was making Cheddar Cauliflower Soup and I quickly realized how versatile they can be.
Cheddar Cauliflower Soup
Similar to the Panera Bread Broccoli Cheddar Soup, this lightened up version has cauliflower for added creaminess, sharp cheddar cheese and paprika for a kick of flavor and leeks for a slight crunch without the fat, calories and sodium you would find in a restaurants version.
