You won’t miss the pasta in this spicy zoodle dish! The creamy avocado sauce goes perfectly with spicy grilled shrimp and sweet corn salsa. With the weather warming up, this is exactly the type of meal I have been craving. I don’t know about you but I go by the philosophy that an avocado a day keeps the doctor away. This creamy little fruit beats an apple any day of the week. This recipe for Spicy Avocado Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp and Corn is a stellar representation of how versatile avocados can be aside from an endless bowl of guacamole or daily servings of avocado toast. This recipe uses avocado as a pasta sauce on a bed of zucchini zoodles. It creates a cream-like sauce that’s to die for and soaks up all the flavor of the lime, green chilies, and cilantro. Add in some shrimp for protein and charred corn for a little crunch and you’re ready for an amazing dinner. Another thing I love about this recipe is that it is a nice break from the heavier, comfort food style meals I ha

Healthy breakfast cookies made with rolled oats, nut butter, bananas, fresh blueberries, and white chocolate chips are a hearty, delicious cookie that is nutritious enough to have for breakfast. These easy breakfast cookies grew our of necessity. After weeks at home, my whole family is pretty bored with breakfast and my kids are constantly requesting snacks.

This simple Sausage, Pepper, and Spinach soup is full of flavor, packed with vegetables, and incredibly comforting. Plus it comes together in about 30 minutes and freezes great. Let's talk about this Sausage, Pepper, and Spinach Soup. It's packed with sausage, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and plenty of garlic. The key to making this soup really delicious is starting with a really good sausage. Choose either a sweet or hot variety depending on what you like and you can use chicken, turkey, or pork. It can be ground sausage or links - just make sure it is full of flavor. And if for some reason it's not (access to your favorite products can be harder than normal),  just plan on adding some extra herbs and spices. Then you just add some onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, and spinach and you have one flavor packed soup. If you want to beef things up, you could always add beans, rice, or pasta. The other great thing about this soup is that it is really versatile. You can mak

No Bake Oatmeal Bars make a hearty breakfast or snack filled with good for you ingredients. Made with a combination of oats, flaxseed, chia, coconut, peanut butter, and banana, these bars come together in minutes without any baking. Last week was crazier than normal for us (if that's even possible with everything going on) and I couldn't have been happier that we had these no bake oatmeal bars in the fridge for moments we were all starving.  There was no time for cooking, even though it feels like we should have all the time. Having these at arms length prevented more than one meltdown and kept everyone fueled and full. Now when it comes to these bars, there is almost nothing I love more than the combination of peanut butter, banana, and chocolate. As a kid, I loved eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches and I still make peanut butter banana toast pretty regularly as an adult. The only difference is now I usually add a healthy dose of flaxseed seeds and chia seeds to mak

When it comes to comfort food, this Curry Chickpea Stew is high on the list, the curry warms you from the inside out. Plus it's easy to make, full of pantry ingredients, and makes a flavor packed vegetarian meal everyone will enjoy. I will pretty much eat anything that involves curry and coconut so when I saw this recipe on A Saucy Kitchen , I couldn't wait to try it. The flavors remind me of an Indian Tikka Masala with tomatoes, curry powder, and coconut milk but in a hearty stew version with chickpeas, spinach, and cauliflower. Not only is it delicious on its own, but it's also great over rice, quinoa, or couscous. Bonus, it freezes great for leftovers. As we continue to cook from our pantries more, this is one of those recipes that should be high on the list. Not only does it rely mainly on canned ingredients like chickpeas, coconut milk, and crushed tomatoes - it also is extremely versatile and you can substitute in the vegetables you have on hand, try it with diffe

We are obsessed with these Healthy Greek Meatballs, also called Keftedes, and they have been a constant menu item when we are craving takeout. Serve them as sandwiches, rice bowls, or make a mezze board with pita bread and all your favorite salads and sauces. I am always down for a good meatball and these Greek Meatballs pack in so much delicious flavor. Plus they are easy to make with any type of ground meat, fresh or dried spices, and pair with all kinds of side to make an easy dinner. Last week I had a really serious craving for tzatziki and Israeli salad. I was tempted to just hop over to my local Mediterranean restaurant and grab some to-go but instead, I decided to build a meal around it and I am so happy I did because these Greek Meatballs are so good. They are packed with garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and plenty of fresh parsley which makes for a light and fresh meatball that is full of flavor. So good, especially with some homemade tzatziki and Israeli salad . Now when it
