Double Bean Burgers

I love a good veggie burger, especially a hearty bean burger! This double bean burger recipe makes thick, juicy burgers that are surprisingly meatless yet incredibly filling. Each bite is full of flavor and I am sure it'll be your new favorite veggie burger. Whether you are trying to eat less meat or follow a completely vegetarian diet, these burgers are perfect for you! They will save you a bunch of money compared to the same pre-made versions in the grocery store. Plus, this recipe has a much better taste and texture than the frozen kind you can buy. Make these bean burgers and serve them to your friends or family members that are on the fence about meatless burgers. They will be surprised at how delicious they are! The burgers make a perfect quick meal and freeze great too. This recipe is one example of a simple, fiber and protein-packed double bean burger, and there are so many more options. So here’s to making your own veggie burgers! Ready now? Try these Ranch Chickpea Bu

Oven Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries

If you are a huge lover of french fries but are trying to cut back on the carbs, make these parmesan zucchini fries instead! They are crispy, salty, and nutritious- perfect for when that fry craving hits! Trust me, this tasty side dish goes with just about everything. Love fries? So do I! When I started to eat a healthier lifestyle, one of the first recipes I attempted to make healthier was french fries- just without using white potatoes. So far, I've made fries using: Eggplant Carrots Green Beans Turnip Sweet Potato Fries For today's recipe, all you need is zucchini, parmesan, and crunchy panko breadcrumbs to make some zucchini fries that your whole family will love. The zucchini is roasted until tender, and the outside gets nice and crispy with a few minutes under the broiler before serving. I like to add Italian spices and serve veggie fries with a side of  marinara sauce , but you can substitute any spices you like. I have tried these oven-baked zucchini fries w

Healthy Queso Dip

The ultimate lightened-up queso dip that's made with real ingredients (no Velveeta here) and tons of flavor. This healthier cheese dip is the perfect addition to any football or party spread.  Few things are as satisfying as a spicy, cheesy queso dip. I enjoy all kinds of snacks like carrots dipped in skinny ranch , raw vegetables with hummus , and baked chips dipped in salsa. However, as much as I love those things, I just can’t resist queso. Are you the same way? Literally, I have to save points for it every weekend because someone inevitably brings queso, and I have to eat it whether it is delicious and homemade or out of a jar. My favorite kind of queso is homemade, has no beans or meat, and has lots of spice. So naturally, this recipe mirrors that. However, you could easily saute some hamburger meat to start the recipe or throw in some beans. Make it however you like it. I adapted this recipe from one that was passed around between friends, adding lots more spice. If you
