Healthy Shepherd’s Pie
Today is the first day of Spring but it’s cold and yesterday our area was host to 16.1 inches of snow so I’m in the mood for warming, comfort food; I decided on shepherd’s pie. In my desire to keep foods healthy I made it with organic ground turkey breast. You can make it with any…… Continue reading Healthy Shepherd’s Pie

Turkey Chili
This was a last minute decision meal that turned out perfectly delicious and nutritious. Leftover or fresh turkey, chicken or even a “meatless chicken” will work just as well.

This tatsoi is similar to baby bok choy, it’s sweet and tender and is a healthy delicious snack. This is my pre-lunch nibble for…… Continue reading Tatsoi with Hot Pepper Hummus
Smoked Cheddar-Lentil Burgers
I can’t take the credit for creating this recipe, I can only take credit for making these delicious veggie burgers. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed them too and stayed full for the rest of the night, so I dub them as guy friendly! I also made coleslaw with plain Greek yogurt with some simple favorite spices…… Continue reading Smoked Cheddar-Lentil Burgers
White Bean-Silken Tofu Dip
I had a lot of silken tofu that I wanted to use up so I got a bit creative and it turned out very good; it’s vegan too! Most amounts are estimates, sorry, I rarely use measuring cups/spoons. 1 can of canellini beans – rinsed well 2 blocks of silken tofu 2-3 Tbs. garlic infused…… Continue reading White Bean-Silken Tofu Dip
