Here is our version of a quick and easy wedding soup you can throw together in under 3 minutes. By substituting the veal meatballs for cut up sausages, you save time without skimping  on flavor  Using the riced cauliflower instead of  acini de pepe  saves you calories and carbs,  a win win. So when  you are in the mood for a  nice hot soup, on a cold winter night, this high protein soup will hit the spot.

Sometimes I come up with a recipe for a Whats in the Fridge Wednesday, or a Fun Tip Friday and it is so good, that I turn it into a Min Din. That is the case with this Lentil Soup Recipe.  It is quick, easy, low cal,delicious, and so cost friendly.  When you need to warm your tummy, on a cold winter night, this hearty soup is your go to recipe. ( I felt it needed some salt and pepper to taste so add to your bowl to your liking.)

I have always loved the idea of serving food in vegetables, or fruit for that matter.  In fact at every party I have thrown over the years it seems to be a pattern.  Whether it was pumpkin soup in pumpkins or lemon sorbet in lemons, it gives your food a touch of elegance.  Hence I bring you sausage in zucchini boats.  Don’t worry, since nothing goes to waste in the kitchen, you can use the inside of your zucchini for so many great things, from zucchini muffins to the little zucchini hearts  you can find on our Instagram page.  With Valentine’s day around the corner, it’s a great time to serve this up, and then surprise your loved ones with some homemade zucchini hearts.

Have you ever wanted to make a recipe, but getting it to taste just right was always a problem?  I find when recipes have too many ingredients, this can be an issue. If you love Pad Thai, but was never brave enough to try it at home, this is the recipe for you.  Not only is it super easy, it is super delicious, and a lower carb option for those of you that watch your intake.  By swapping out the traditional Pad Thai noodles for the butternut squash zoodles, you save the carbs, but don’t compromise on the taste.  So go ahead and try this with your favorite protein option, or use ours which is chicken.  All of the info on nutrition is based on serving this beauty up with chicken.

Now you can have Taco Tuesday any day of the week with this quick and easy version I created.  Remember our recipes are home made because you make them at home with love.  They are not made from scratch with so many ingredients that  not only cost a lot but are hard to remember.  We are here to give you our true and tested recipes that will leave you coming back for more, and wondering why you haven’t been cooking like this all along!! Life is busy and complicated as it is, your cooking doesn’t need to be, so enjoy and when you try a recipe send us a picture and we will add you to our testimonial page.

We did a stuffed portobello mushroom awhile back, and when I came across this wonderful truffle Alfredo sauce, I knew it was time to come up with another wonderful stuffed mushroom!!! I think we did it with this dish that is under 80 calories.  The zucchini spirals fill you up and the sauce has so much flavor that a little goes a long way.  Cheers to all my vegetarian friends, this one’s for you !

Chicken is always a good go to meal

If you took a poll on favorite foods, pizza would probably be in the top three category!  It is one of those foods that you just can’t get enough of.  Everyone has their personal favorite, mine  is green olives and mushroom with tons of cheese . While doing my daily Trader Joe’s run, I came across a butternut squash crust, and Well the next is history  I hope you enjoy this little treasure of a dish.  Pizza is as creative as you are, the possibilities are endless!
