Asparagus Quiche

Asparagus Quiche is easy to make, loaded with flavor, and cooks in under 30 minutes. Made with fresh asparagus, red onions, garlic, and cheese, this flavorful quiche is perfect to serve as an energizing breakfast or lunch. When I’m in the mood for a little something special in the morning, few dishes do the job better than this Asparagus Quiche. Not only is it wholesome and beyond easy to make (one pan meal, anyone?), but it is also absolutely decadent in flavor. These Quiche Cupcakes are another favorite morning dish. One of the things I love most about quiches is that it makes a fantastic make-ahead meal. You only have to make it once and it can easily serve as healthy breakfasts and lunches throughout the week. While I have a very hungry family who typically crushes the whole thing in one sitting, you can easily double the batch and cook two quiches at once. One for now, one for later! If you’re looking to really show off your chef skills, you can whip up your own pie crust fro

Highly recommended serving this baked ziti dish on a busy night for dinner! To be completely honest, I am not the biggest pasta eater.

Surprisingly, with a few simple twists, you can make a delicious and completely diet-friendly version of baked ziti bolognese.

Lasagna Cupcakes

These lasagna cupcakes are a cheesy treat made in crispy wonton wrappers. They are the perfect party food and make a deliciously filling lunch too. Honestly, these bite-sized treats are one of my favorite ways to serve lasagna . This recipe is inspired by a white lasagna cupcakes recipe I saw recently in Food and Wine. I decided to use my typical veggie lasagna recipe to make my own lasagna cupcakes. It took a couple of tries, but the cupcakes were a big hit in our house.  There are tons of different ways you could make these. I think next time, I will try adding some lean ground beef for a more typical lasagna. The best part of these lasagna cupcakes is that they are incredibly simple to make but still feel really special and fun - no matter the occasion. What You’ll Need and Easy Swaps Here is what you need in order to make your own delicious lasagna cupcakes. Wonton Wrappers: You'll need 2 wrappers to make each lasagna cup. A package usually has 24 wrappers, so that wi

Pozole Verde - Green Chicken Pozole

Made with fresh tomatillos and two different spicy peppers, you will feel like a professional chef - it's that good. There is nothing better than a warm, spicy bowl of green chicken pozole on a cold night. It's possibly one of my all-time favorite soups.

Let me tell you - I did it! Make a batch of this spicy soup for yourself, and you'll agree - this is even better than the kind at the restaurant. Plus, it keeps you within your eating habits to stay healthy. Key Ingredients For Pozole Verde The secret to this pozole is to use the freshest ingredients you can find.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

This pumpkin smoothie tastes just like your favorite fall dessert! With 10 grams of protein, this is a healthy way to start your day with a sweet treat. The perfect way to satisfy cravings for sweets is to make healthier versions of them. For example, there is nothing wrong with pumpkin pie, but it's not necessarily something I want to eat first thing in the morning or after a workout. Well, it is delicious with coffee the morning after Thanksgiving...but not something for every day.  So, I found a way to turn the same creamy pumpkin filling into an irresistible smoothie that's extra good for you. It has all the same spices and flavors you would expect from your favorite fall dish. It really does taste just like a pumpkin pie  and you could even top it with some crumbled graham crackers or granola if you are missing the crust.  This smoothie is full of nutrients as pumpkin is naturally high in vitamins A and C. The drink also has lots of protein, so it's the perfect way

Plus they are a favorite side dish for kids, especially served with these Crispy Coconut Chicken Fingers .  One of the veggies my kids eat most often is baby carrots. They are sweet and since they take no extra prep work, they are a favorite for a quick veggie option. Plus they are packed with beta carotene, fiber, vitamin A, and potassium. However, sometimes my kids get sick of the raw version, and lately, I have been roasting them instead. They come out fork tender and can be tossed with almost any combination of spices or fresh herbs you like. They are also a huge hit when tossed with honey or brown sugar. Sometimes I even add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Trust me - with cinnamon and a touch of honey, almost any kid will devour these. Key Ingredients and Easy Swaps There are just four simple ingredients in these roasted carrots. In fact, i
