French Toast with Cherry and Blackberry Preserves
This challah french toast is perfect. We also love these cherry-blackberry preserves on yogurt.
Recipes
Fried Rice – Veggie
Quick vegetable fried rice for a simple weeknight meal. Packed with veggies and even has a good protein boost from edamame! We use way more vegetables than rice (as you can see), so it’s easy to make this often when we have a little leftover rice from another recipe.
Fruit Queen Smoothie
A fruit smoothie fit for a queen – with papaya, cherries, berries, pomegranate, orange, and apple juice. Add unflavored protein powder, if desired.
Green Beans, Roasted
Green beans tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper – then roasted. Super simple, super delicious!
Green Protein Smoothie
Tons of nutrients, a serving of raw vegetables, and 20+ grams of protein per serving. This smoothie is light, not too sweet, and tastes superb!
Gruyere Grits
Fancy cheese grits.
Guacamole
Simple Tex-Mex style guacamole.
Homemade Enchilada Sauce
All the flavor of your favorite prepared enchilada sauce, without the gums and other preservatives. Quick! Easy! Cheap! You’ll never go back to store-bought again.
Homemade Hot Sauce
An alternative to store-bought sauces – without any additives or preservatives. Using fresno peppers gives this sauce a great flavor and heat, without being overpowering. Perfect on my Baked Chicken Wings. This is a simple recipe, but does require an immersion blender!
Hummus
This classic hummus is a delicious blend of chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, and lemon – with a little added kick from jalapeno and spices.
Italian Seasoning
Once you taste home-mixed Italian seasoning, you’ll never go back to store-bought. This blend of herbs is the secret ingredient for any recipe that calls for Italian seasoning, makes a delicious Italian dressing, and is perfect on a slice of pizza. Plus, when you make your own you can be sure the dried herbs are fresh, flavorful, and free of additives (which many pre-mixed brands include).
Jello Shots
These jello shots are made with vodka – Grey Goose is best.
Kale Chips – Cashew & Miso
Crunchy and SO flavorful! These kale chips are a great salty snack, with a good boost of protein from the cashews and sunflower seeds.
Kale Sautéed
With onions, garlic, olive oil, and lemon.
Lamb Meatballs & Almond Sauce ( Albóndigas en Salsa con Picada de Almendras )
Great with roasted green beans & rye toast!
Lettuce Wraps
Classic bold flavor – using ground meat or a meat-free substitute for your lifestyle. Don’t be intimidated by a 15-ingredient recipe – after some chopping, this is very simple to prepare! Serve over grains for a heartier meal.
Matcha Tea
Matcha is a perfect pick-me-up. This recipe uses hemp milk and is lightly sweetened with honey or agave.
Meatloaf (Turkey or Chicken)
This turkey meatloaf (or chicken meatloaf) is super moist and full of flavor. Also loaded with vegetables from a special ingredient: mushrooms. I’ve always liked meatloaf, but this recipe made me crave it all the time.
Mushrooms, Sautéed with Herbs
Baby portabella mushrooms sautéed in clarified butter with thyme.
