Sweet Potato, Tomato, Kale and Feta Sheet-Tray Dinner
Intentions: Nutrition, Ease In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a big proponent of sheet-tray dinners, and basically anything that minimizes clean up. I think that the best way to lead a healthy lifestyle is to make healthy eating a realistic part of your life – recipes should fit your budgetary and dietary goals, of course, […]
Cheese-Less Mac N’ Cheese

Adding veggies increases the fiber, which helps my body digest the fat without going […]

I try to find at least one each week to highlight, and this week it is the Sheet-Pan Chicken Shawarma from Half Baked Harvest. I am copying this recipe 100% this week […]
Spaghetti Veggies and Meatballs

The pasta is made from veggies and lentils, the meatballs are free of antibiotics, artificial flavors, preservatives, etc. And while I love meatballs, they […]
Roasted Tandoori Veggie Bowls
Intent: Nutrition, InnovationTime: 1+ hour Lunches this week are crispy, creamy, tangy, sweet, and healthy! Everything in this dish brings something to the table, from the protein in the yogurt and quinoa to the extra vitamins and minerals in the veggies. If I’m going to be working out more, I want to make sure I […]
