Healthy Eating Made Obvious
Grilled Summer Squash & Chickpeas
Complete Meal, Summer, High Fiber, Vegetarian, Vegan
This recipe is a delicious high fiber meal perfect for the summer! Sweet summer squash, with fresh tomato sauce topped off with chickpeas. This could be a tasty complete meal, or an awesome side dish to accompany any meat coming off the grill.
Kimchi Quinoa Bowl
Breakfast, Complete Meal, Fiber, Flavor, Spicy
Meal prep everything except the egg in advance! I prefer the runny yoke of a sunny-side-up egg and the fresh kick of green onion on top. The Kimchi can be added in the end, if you want to keep the active fermenting microbes alive.
Butter Chicken
Protein, Flavor, Meat
This Indian inspired dish is always a family pleaser in my house. It's the marinade and sauce that make this dish delicious. It's tempting to pair it with bread or rice to soak-up all the sauce, but I keep it healthy with quinoa and broccoli. The added fiber make it a complete, balanced meal. Step out of your comfort zone and try it, I'd say it's guaranteed to be a new favorite!
Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad
Appetizer, Starter, Salad, Fiber, Side
Three grams of fiber in every peach? Yes! You can enjoy the fresh, delicious sweetness of seasonal fruit in this summer salad. Add toasted Ezekiel bread on the side for additional fiber and added crunch. Serve at a BBQ as a starter or add more arugula to make it a delightful salad. No matter what, it's guaranteed to be all your family talks about even after it's gone!
Jalapeño Corn Salad
Side Dish, Appetizer, Special Occassion, BBQ, Holiday
This salad is a guaranteed success! It's a crowd pleaser everyone will enjoy, with none leftover. Grilling the corn is the best way to add additional flavor to this dish, but it's not necessary. That's why, I also shared a video to show how to "cook" Corn 3 Ways, so choose the cooking method that's easiest for you!
Pan Seared Chicken
Protein, Flavor
By the time I quit dieting I was SICK of chicken breasts. This chicken thigh cooking method helped me fall in love with chicken again. Healthy eating doesn't have to mean dry and flavorless food. Use my favorite NO Beer Can chicken seasoning to complete this recipe. It's always a family favorite because as a rub, these flavors KICK your chicken up a notch!
Salsa 3 Ways
Fiber, Flavor
These salsas are so yummy! All 3 recipes are include fiber-filled ingredients, which makes them a healthy way way to enjoy as a dip with chips on occasion. Salsa is a great way to enhance the flavor of burrito bowls, eggs, fish, chicken or salads!
Carne Asada
Protein, Summer Recipe, Grill
This grilled steak is the perfect party pleaser! Easy to make and absolutely delicious! Reheated it's still amazing, which makes this steak perfect for meal prep too. Build a burrito bowl: carne asada for protein, beans for fiber, cheese, olives or avocado for healthy fats, and salsa for for flavor! Now you've got a complete meal! Be sure to watch the video for more important tips!
Spring Quinoa Risotto
Complete Meal, Resistant Starch, Fiber
This recipe is a delicious and healthy spin on a traditional risotto. Following the same cooking method of gradually adding the veggie stock & stirring frequently. Quinoa is a great substitute as a healthy grain, because it maintains its creaminess and full flavor, just like traditional risotto.
Crispy Chickpea Tabbouleh Salad
Complete Meal, Fiber, Lunch
This recipe is great! The chickpeas also make a great crunchy snack on their own too! Perfect for packing a lunch or for a light, summer dinner. I sub the grain for Quinoa to add fiber and resistant starch to the meal.
