This salad is so light, simple and refreshing. It’s deliciously crisp and pairs excellently with my Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Shawarma and Homemade Whole Wheat Pita Chips. I’m a big fan of exploring other cultures and incorporating international flavors and dishes into my family’s meal rotation. I hope you’ll enjoy my take on this common Middle Eastern accompaniment as much as we do!
Read MoreI LOVE some really good chicken shawarma, but I’m rarely interested in eating it unless I make it myself. My chicken shawarma recipe uses organic chicken breast, so I know I’m consuming quality meat (not unethical and unhealthy factory farmed meat). The spice mixture in this recipe is sooooo yummy… It’s seriously addictive. It’s also really good for you. It’s packed with all kinds of antioxidants and beneficial compounds, including metabolic-enhancing cayenne pepper (if you choose to use it). I like to make a large batch to mix and match with different Middle Eastern-inspired meals or just eat straight from the fridge as a quick protein packed snack.
Read MoreHere’s a fresh and easy fish dish when you want a healthy meal without a lot of hassle. Pair it with some crispy potatoes or a side of brown, black or wild rice and a green vegetable of your choice for a nutritious and well-balanced dinner that will leave you feeling light, satisfied and refreshed.
Read MoreCinnamon is a natural adaptogen, meaning that your body uses it in whatever way your body most needs. It has anti-inflammatory properties, may improve insulin sensitivity, and may reduce risk factors for heart disease. Cinnamon is a primary ingredient in this recipe, and I can’t think of a more appropriate dish for fall, winter, and the holiday season. This recipe makes a fun and festive side to accompany a turkey dinner, and I also love combining it with some roasted asparagus and chickpea dal for a delicious vegetarian lunch. This recipe can be prepared with zero sugar (I find it sweet enough on its own), but you can also add a pinch of brown sugar to sweeten it slightly if desired.
Read MoreIs it possible to be addicted to Brussels sprouts? Because… Confession… This recipe has me hooked! These slightly sweet and deliciously crispy Brussels sprouts make a fantastic side for all kinds of meals and mains. They’re gone in a flash in our house!
Read MoreThese salmon/cucumber rounds make a great hors d'oeuvre to serve at a party. They also pair well with my Lemon Mint Avocado Toast or some Crispy Brussels Sprouts and a bowl of miso soup to make a healthy lunch!
Read MoreWhen it comes to preparing salmon, this simple and quick recipe is one of my top favs. Wild salmon has tons of healthy Omega-3 fats and is relatively low in mercury, making it a great food to include in a healthy diet. I love to make a couple of extra pieces and then either crumble them in a salad or eat them as easy leftovers throughout the rest of the week.
Read MoreThis dish is pure comfort food that still maintains its health appeal. I will be honest - I typically won’t eat chicken thighs. EXCEPT in this dish. The extra fat content really contributes to the flavor, plus the darker meat has a higher iron content. This dish makes excellent leftovers… Cook once, eat all week!
Read MoreThis versatile protein and veggie-packed breakfast is one of my frequent meal-planning go-tos. Minor tweaks can make this recipe keto, paleo and/or vegetarian. To make it as easy as possible, prep all of the ingredients the day/night before so all you have to do is toss them in the pan in the morning. Cook once and enjoy this meal for multiple breakfasts throughout the week!
* For a keto version, add a side of avocado. For a paleo version, leave out the mozzarella. For a vegetarian version, leave out the chicken and/or mozzarella.
This innovative twist on a campfire cooking classic is fun, easy and healthy! Enjoy that S’more for dessert and still feel great because this meal contains only clean protein, lots of colorful vegetables, olive oil, and no processed carbs or grains.
Read MoreThis stir fry is healthy, delicious and checks so many boxes… Veggies. Healthy fats. Organic grass-fed protein. Keto. Paleo. It’s a great addition to a clean diet whether you’re detoxing or enjoying it on the regular.
Read MoreThis light and fresh shrimp salad is perfect for summer. It’s as easy as it is healthy, and it happens to be my husband’s favorite - and most requested - of my recipes. It’s also paleo and keto friendly!
