By now, we all know quinoa is a multi-talented superfood. This healthy grain is a star in everything from breakfast bowls to salmon cakes. Of course, while quinoa is now a staple ingredient in tons of different meals from breakfast to dessert, many of us Day-1 quinoa fans first fell in love with the grain as a rice substitute.

Whether it’s a side or a main ingredient, a zesty rice is an important part of any Mexican meal. As usual, quinoa is an excellent substitute for your favorite spicy rice mixes. I’ve started whipping up an easy and tasty batch of this Mexican quinoa with every meal that would usually send me reaching for a box of pre-packaged Spanish rice. Not only do I get to swap rice for all the health benefits of quinoa, but I can also cut back on tons of added sodium. It’s a win-win!

Of course, cilantro can be a pretty polarizing flavor. If you’re not a cilantro fan, no worries. The cilantro doesn’t bake with the chicken in this recipe, we just sprinkle it on top after. If cilantro isn’t your thing, feel free to just leave it off and enjoy a zesty lime chicken, sans cilantro.

Healthy Recipes | Lasagna Soup

This Lasagna Soup is one of my all time favorites! You get all the flavors of a delicious hearty lasagna in a comforting soup form! It’s loaded with beef, tomatoes and Italian herbs and the melty cheese just takes it over the top. This simple recipe may look a little daunting due to the long list of ingredients but a lot of it is pantry staples you likely already have so don’t miss out on this recipe thinking it’s too much. You get an herbed tomato based broth that’s filled with hearty bits of ground beef, and it’s finished off with a generous mound of cheese that melts perfectly into the steaming hot soup. This One Pot Lasagna Soup recipe can’t get any easier or more delicious!  It boasts layers of cheesy noodles smothered in rich marinara infused with garlic, onion and Italian spices all smothered Parmesan, mozzarella and ricotta  – drool – and all you have to do is brown your beef, dump in the ingredients and simmer away! But now, I am thrilled to introduce my “can’t-get-an...

Keto Dinner | Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets

This Philly Cheesesteak recipe is perfect for keto & low carb folks. By using fathead dough in place of bread, these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets easily cut carbs, gluten, and grains. This dish is perfect for a crowd, as an appetizer, or as the main part of your meal when paired with vegetables or a salad. I include tips for making this dish, including a recipe for fathead dough if you need one. There is no special “Philly” cheesesteak seasoning so a good Philly cheesesteak recipe comes down to meat and cheese. The main thing is good quality meat. In this recipe, I’m using shaved top sirloin. I get a package of it from Trader Joe’s, but packaged shaved steak is pretty common in most market meat sections. I grew up just south of Seattle, Wa. My “stomping grounds” as you could call it. I spent most of my 20’s around downtown, Pike Place Market, DICK’s Drive-Inn and Pioneer Square. Late nights and LOTS of fun, I’ll leave it at that. Seattle was an amazing adventure for food. Fresh ...

Keto Dinner | Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles

Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles are spiralized zoodles sauteed with shredded carrots, bell pepper, and green onions, tossed in this easy peanut sauce. This 15-minute zucchini noodles recipe makes the perfect side dish, main course, or weekday salad and includes meal prep instructions. Using a vegetable peeler can take a little longer, but I LOVE this option for making wide zucchini noodles. This also works in a pinch, but again, I recommend the tabletop version if you want to spiralize large amounts of zucchini noodles into spaghetti strands. During the summer I love eating meals that are lighter, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood for a salad.  These VegetarianThai Peanut Zucchini Noodles are the perfect hot meal that won’t weigh you down! Now that it’s zucchini season, my spiralizer has been working overtime.  Do you own a spiralizer?  I love mine, but I’ll admit that sometimes I get lazy and I buy my zucchini noodles at the store.  It can get costly over time, so...
