I have been on a pasta and Mac n cheese kick since I had Covid last week! Since I was not very hungry and not able to eat very much at a time and was losing weight daily, it's as though my body was craving something dense with nutrition AND calories! However, this baked turkey… Continue reading Baked turkey pasta (gluten free, dairy free options)

Gluten-sensitive Mac and cheese
I don't know about you, but there is nothing like a warm bowl of Mac n cheese! I usually make this staple around the holidays, but, since recovering from Covid (and during my sickness) it was all I craved! I am on such a Mac n cheese kick and it does not have to be… Continue reading Gluten-sensitive Mac and cheese
Shredded pork plate
This is a go-to because of how simple, delicious, filling and nutritious it is! You can use chicken breasts or get a pork shoulder and use a crockpot to slow cook the meat and then add whatever toppings you want. Sometimes we will use sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin and bake them so they're… Continue reading Shredded pork plate
Perfect Chicken Salad
I LOVE CHICKEN SALAD! What I don't love, however, is how unhealthy and fattening it is when you purchase conventional chicken salad that is premade and filled with artificial preservatives and ingredients that don't belong in your body. When you make this at home you have total control over each and every ingredient - and… Continue reading Perfect Chicken Salad
Basil Bacon Pizza (gluten-free)
There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to enjoy pizza from time to time! It’s seriously one of my fav indulgences, however, I prefer to make it myself because then I know the ingredients are high quality, mostly organic and free of preservatives and junky additives! That way I am still indulging in… Continue reading Basil Bacon Pizza (gluten-free)

Vegan Burger
Hi guys! The other night I randomly started craving a sweet potato black bean burger...so I googled some recipes to get ideas on what I could put together. This recipe makes 6 hearty burgers and it's completely VEGAN. It's also relatively inexpensive to make. Each burger is about 350 calories. I would suggest eating them… Continue reading Vegan Burger
Thai coconut curried shrimp
Mmmm you guys this meal is so delicious! It did not take long to make either. The most difficult part is peeling the shrimp and even that isn't bad! I like to buy fresh shrimp or USA farmed. From the research I've done you should avoid eating any imported farmed shrimp. I won't eat shrimp… Continue reading Thai coconut curried shrimp
Egyptian Red Lentil Soup (primal)
I LOVE this soup so much. It's loaded with fiber from the lentils and veggies, it's filling, it's delicious, and it's inexpensive to make. I decided to add some extra protein by cutting up sausage links from Whole Foods and cooking them on the stove. The andouille sausage was a great addition to this soup.… Continue reading Egyptian Red Lentil Soup (primal)
