Meal Prep is one of the biggest time savers for the week - and this recipe has truly been a lifesaver and a household favorite.  It's easy to make (you can use your crockpot), it's filling, stores well, and it's highly nutrient-dense - high quality protein paired with fiber rich spaghetti squash, micronutrients and heart healthy lycopene from tomatoes, immune boosting onion and herbs.  

Looking for a simple meal to batch cook and have on hand all week?  This is SUPER tasty and high in nutrients, fiber, and protein and micronutrients helpful for boosting immune function.  You can cook this on the stove-top or toss into the crockpot for a simple warming meal!

Bacon and Brussels - I don't think anyone can go wrong here!  Enjoy this tasty dish paired with any main entree and save for lunch to mix up with quinoa or grilled chicken in a salad. I'm licking my lips already!

This incredible Cranberry Hazelnut Chutney is SUPER tasty, perfect amount of sweetness from the fruit and maple syrup, a bit of zing from the tangerines/lime, tartness from fresh cranberries and I love the texture and crunch from the combination of different fruits and toasted hazelnuts.  Use in yogurt, with chicken, on whole grain toast, with eggs in the morning, and even just as is for a mini snack.  Love this recipe and I know you will too!!

Winter is here and so is my craving for squash! Roast your favorite squash variety and use in multiple different ways - serve as is, top over a salad, blend into a soup - YUM!  Get the recipe!

TOP 5 best salads I've ever made!  Crunchy romaine, creamy avocado, bacon and sautéed chicken with a homemade tahini, lemon, greek yogurt dressing (my mock of a creamy ranch style topping).  Tahini is common in Greek and Mediterranean cuisine - it's ground sesame seeds, which is an excellent source of protein and rich in B vitamins, Iron and Zinc. 

Here is an EASY protein option that you can make and have on hand all week using one of the most versatile plant proteins – beans! I love it as a snack or on top of lettuce for a salad.  Couldn't be more refreshing and filling too!
