I’ve got a good one for you today! It’s a DELICIOUS, no-cook lunch or dinner recipe. CONFESSION: I stole this idea from chef Guy Fieri. Except I mixed it up a bit to make it:
It’s called the Kitchen Sink Salad because you can put basically anything you want in it. It's a perfect time of year when we are overloaded with vegetables from our garden and fresh from the farmer's market. Feel free to make it your own because you really can’t go wrong. You can add any veggies from your fridge. Some leftover roasted sweet potatoes would be really good. Or sprinkle on some dried cranberries! Yum. To make it vegan, swap some crispy tofu or quinoa for the chicken.  (makes 2-3 large salad servings)
For the dressing: Handful of fresh basil or parsley ½ cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar Juice of ½ lemon 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon salt Dash of freshly ground pepper ½ cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil For the salad: 1 (12 oz) (340 grams) package mixed baby salad greens 1 medium cucumber, peeled, cut in half, and diced 1 large tomato, diced ½ - ¾ cup (85 grams) chopped cooked chicken 1 cup (260 grams) rinsed & drained cannellini beans 12 black olives, pitted and halved (optional) (can swap for avocado!) 2 tbsp pecans or walnuts, chopped 2 tbsp goat cheese Make the dressing: Place all the dressing ingredients except olive oil in a high-speed blender. Pulse until combined. Turn on the blender and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified. Pour into a container and keep in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. (You’ll have leftovers!) Make the salad: In a large bowl, toss together the salad greens, cucumber, tomato, chicken, beans, and olives. Add the dressing right before you’re ready to eat it. Top with the nuts & goat cheese. Enjoy! 👩🏾🍳 🍲 This is a completely different take on chicken noodle soup – it’s rich, creamy, and exotic. It's one of my Caribbean comfort foods! 💡 TIP 1: Pick up some spiralized veggie noodles at the grocery store to cut down on prep time. This soup is especially good with sweeter vegetables like yellow squash or sweet potato. ✅ TIP 2: Make sure you SHAKE the can of coconut milk for a minute before opening to help incorporate the coconut “meat” into the liquid.  COCONUT CHICKEN ZOODLE SOUP
(makes 4 servings) 1 tbsp coconut oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger 2 stalks lemongrass, tender white inner bulb only, finely minced 1 small yellow onion, minced 2 stalks celery, chopped 2 medium carrots, chopped 1 tsp turmeric ¼ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste 1 (15-ounce) (425 gram) can full-fat coconut milk, well-shaken 4 cups (950 ml) low sodium chicken or vegetable broth 1 lb (455 gram) boneless, skinless chicken breasts 3-4 cups (300 to 600 grams) of spiralized vegetable noodles 2-3 tbsp lime juice Dash of hot sauce Melt the coconut milk in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, onion, celery, and carrots, and saute for 5-7 minutes until the onion softens and begins to caramelize. Stir in the turmeric, pepper, and salt, mix well to combine and pour the coconut milk, broth, and chicken breast. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts with a slotted spoon and place them on a cutting board. Add the spiralized vegetable noodles to the pot to simmer. Using two forks, shred the chicken. Return the chicken to the pot and continue to simmer until the noodles are tender. Add the lime juice and hot sauce, and taste. Adjust seasonings, adding salt, pepper, or more hot sauce as needed. Serve and enjoy! Even if you aren’t a fan of the soft texture of most tofu, you will LOVE this crispy version – especially when it’s topped with flavorful peanut sauce. You can use almond butter instead of peanut butter if you prefer. Also, I’ve kept it vegan by using maple syrup, but honey also works. For a complete one-dish meal, try adding 2 cups of steamed broccoli to this recipe just before adding the sauce to the pan.  CRISPY THAI TOFU
(Serves 4) Tofu
Peanut Sauce
Make the sauce: While it’s drying, prepare the peanut sauce. Mix together all the ingredients except the water, stirring vigorously. Add water a little bit at a time until you get a thick, pourable sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cook the tofu: Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Brown the tofu on all sides, 2-3 minutes on each side. Don’t sauté – instead, let it crisp thoroughly on each side, flipping it with tongs. When it’s crispy on every side, pour the sauce over it and serve.  Don’t you love it when your goals and taste buds collide in delicious harmony?
Well today, I’ve got a snack recipe for you that is:
With a few simple ingredients, It’s also an easy breakfast – just stir in a ¼ cup of rolled oats. Pumpkin Pie Pudding (serves 1)
Combine all the ingredients - except the walnuts - in a small bowl until combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness. Before eating, top with the toasted walnuts. You can mix up a couple batches and keep it in your fridge for easy grab & go meals or snacks. Enjoy!  I’m always looking for delicious, healthy, and quick lunch recipes! How about you?
I had to share this one because it’s a winner in all three categories. Plus, you can use it as a jumping-off point for including other ingredients. Roasted red peppers, feta cheese, or pepitas would be delicious additions! TIP #1: If you want to boost the protein, just add 1 or 2 more hard-boiled eggs. TIP #2: As written, this isn’t the best make-ahead salad because of the avocado, which can turn color and get extra-mushy if it sits for more than a couple of hours. Either leave out the avocado or add it just before eating! Energizing Protein-Powered Salad (makes 2-4 servings)
In a large bowl, add the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the oil, whisking until well combined. Add the salad greens, chickpeas, celery, carrot, avocado, and eggs and toss to coat with dressing. All that’s left to do is sit down and devour it. :) Let me know what you think. Enjoy! I’ve got a fantastic lunch recipe for you that’s fast and easy … and it’s loaded with anti-inflammatory ingredients. From the leafy greens to the colorful veggies to the delicious dressing, you’re going to want to add this into your regular rotation. This is also super delicious with salmon instead of tuna. TIP: Try using the leftover dressing as a dipping sauce. SO GOOOOD!  (serves 1)
For the dressing:
Make the dressing: Mix all the ingredients well in a small bowl, using a fork or whisk. Assemble the salad: Toss the greens with the dressing in a bowl, then top with the tuna, beans, and other veggies. Toss lightly and enjoy! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! It’s one of my go-to’s, especially on warm days.  I’ve got a quick, easy, and elegant recipe for you today ... that’s also super healthy.
It’s loaded with protein thanks to the fish, and the tomatoes contain (among other things) plenty of vitamin C and potassium. You might be tempted to use fresh tomatoes but canned tomatoes actually taste so much better. They are picked at the height of ripeness. Note: You can use almost any white fish in this recipe: haddock, pollock, cod, etc. Mediterranean Broiled Haddock (serves 4)
Preheat your oven to 425ºF/220ºC. In a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish, combine the canned tomatoes, vinegar, olives, garlic, honey, a few pinches of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Set aside. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and season it with Italian seasoning, and lightly sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place the fish in the baking dish and put the dish in the oven. Bake for about 15 mins, until the fish is cooked through (it should flake easily with a fork). If your fish is thick, it might take a little longer. Serve with a salad and a side of veggies. YUM! Try this for dinner this week! So... good! Enjoy! Healthy pancakes for breakfast? Yes, please! Making your own mix at home can save you $$$ plus you can feel good about the ingredients. TIP: You can use any protein powder you want in this mix, but brown rice powder will have a less earthy/”health-food” taste.  PROTEIN PANCAKE MIX INGREDIENTS

Show your heart some love this month with this breakfast sundae. It’s a SUPER yummy breakfast sundae recipe that’s packed with heart-healthy and delicious ingredients. TIP: This also makes a great snack. Here’s a quick rundown of why this sundae’s ingredients are so good for your heart.  Quinoa: Studies show that eating whole grains is associated with both lower cholesterol and blood pressure … AND a lower risk of heart disease.
Berries: In addition to being filled with fiber, berries are rich in antioxidants that can protect you from the oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to heart disease. Walnuts: First, walnuts have more omega 3 fatty acids than other nuts. And second, studies show that they can help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. They also appear to be associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Dates: The two types of fiber in Medjool dates can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as help control blood sugar levels. Yogurt: This fermented food has been linked with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Pretty impressive, right? Berry Delicious Breakfast Sundae (Serves 2)
Place the quinoa in a bowl along with the coconut oil, cinnamon, ¼ tsp sea salt, and ½ tsp maple syrup or honey. Roast the quinoa mixture in a medium skillet over medium-low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the walnuts about halfway through. These can burn quickly so keep your eye on them -- they should be golden brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then assemble your sundaes. Spread half of the yogurt in each serving dish, top with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and then add the berries and dates, and sprinkle the quinoa and walnut mixture over the top. Who would think that this recipe can improve heart blood flow, possibly eliminating the risk for heart disease including heart attack and stroke. The nutrient Vitamin K found in these vegetables may be involved in inhibiting the calcification process (narrowing) that occurs in our blood vessels. So eat up! This recipe makes an amazing side dish option.  Ingredients:

Brussels sprouts, shredded 2 medium carrots, shredded 1 pear, thinly sliced 2 scallions (green onion), thinly sliced 3 oz. prosciutto, chopped 1/2 C pomegranate seeds or 1/3 C dried cherries 3 T extra-virgin olive oil juice of 1/2 orange 2 T maple syrup 1/4 C hazelnuts 2 t Dijon mustard 1 garlic clove, minced Instructions: In a large bowl, toss together Brussels sprouts, carrot, pear, scallion, prosciutto, and pomegranate seeds or dried cherries.

It’s definitely worth checking out. The night before you make this, I recommend taking your avocado out of the freezer, wrap it in cling wrap so it doesn’t brown, and putting it in the refrigerator to thaw. 🥚😋 Starting your day with a dose of protein, veggies, and healthy fat will keep you feeling full and satisfied! Adding a side dish of a half-cup of berries is an optional healthy boost. 🍓 If you prefer the vegan option, you can switch the eggs for sweet potatoes and cheese for non-dairy cheese of your choice. Although I am not vegan, I like to substitute for sweet potatoes and cashew cheese.  Breakfast Burritos
(Makes 2 burritos) Ingredients
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions and peppers until soft and slightly caramelized. Add beans and pepper flakes and cook until warmed through 3-4 minutes. While the veggies are cooking, in a medium bowl whisk the eggs and egg whites, and then add the cheese. When the veggies are heated through, transfer to a dish and if necessary, spray the skillet with non-stick spray. Pour in the eggs and scramble, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat. To serve, spread each tortilla or lettuce leaf with some salsa, and then layer each with half of the black bean mixture, half the eggs or cooked crushed sweet potatoes, and half the tomato and avocado. Season with hot sauce. Roll up your tortilla or lettuce leaf like a burrito and enjoy! Leave us a comment and let us know how it turned out!  Chia seeds are packed with nutrients. A mere 2 tablespoons pack 8 g of fiber, 4 g of protein, and 2 g of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants — not too shabby for a tiny seed! Even more spectacular than its health value is its thickening ability, which can turn a plain cup of liquid into a creamy pudding. In just a few easy steps, you can make yourself the most delicious and hearty breakfast to keep you full and energized for hours. Rolled oats, chia seeds, and cacao nibs make up the base of this breakfast bowl. Although chia seeds don’t provide any flavor, when soaked in liquids, it adds a great deal of texture. The longer you let it sit, the more the chia seed will plump up. We use almond milk , but you can substitute any kind of non-dairy milk you prefer. For a touch of sweetness, you can add maple syrup or raw honey. There are endless variations when it comes to toppings. The fun part comes with the variety of toppings and mix-ins! OATMEAL TOPPINGS GALORE: This chia oatmeal breakfast bowl is topped with granola, blackberries, and blood orange segments. Get creative though - next time try loading your oatmeal with toasted almonds, sliced banana, and a handful of chocolate chunks. And if you're feeling tropical, maybe add some shredded coconut, pineapple slices, and chopped macadamia nuts. Enjoy! Ingredients:
