Oh how I love you, butternut squash. Your sweet, nutty flavor. Your fiber, your potassium, your vitamin A. You make my life complete. The sweet beets and delicious ricotta cheese made this a delight worth repeating.
View PostI don’t know about you guyz, but I grew up on quiche. Living in the south, quiche wasn’t just a meal, it was a religion. Birthdays, showers, holidays…. all quiche everything. It wasn’t until I graduated with a degree in nutritional sciences that I realized that quiche is NOT THAT GOOD FOR YOU. Damn it. I hated to see the demise of this wonderful food in my life just because of it’s insanely high fat and calorie content, so I had to act fast. Cue my sweet potato crust quiche!
View PostThis skinny egg sandwich is my kind of lunch. The eggs, the hummus, the high fiber/protein bread (Dave’s Killer Bread is awesome), and some lettuce or tomatoes to top it off. Healthy, easy recipe that can easily be switched up by using a different flavor hummus.
View PostThe biggest health issue with Thai food is typically either that it’s loaded with high carb and calorie pasta (think pad thai) or with high saturated fat and calorie coconut milk (think curry) or… let’s face it… both! That’s why I love chicken satay. You don’t get any of the refined carbs or the fried meats. And this chicken satay is even healthier (duh)! With light coconut milk, PB2, and lean meat, you can have your little taste of Thailand without the guilt (or the mystery meat). Stole this recipe from www.skinnytaste.com and modified it a bit to my taste/health liking.
