Local fruit/veg stand finds. Granny smith apple, 2 yellow tomatoes, cucumber, yellow squashes, tomato, pink lady apple, two honeybell oranges, and a plum. Not pictured: homemade banana walnut granola, 2 lbs fresh green beans, lime and cayenne roasted almonds. All this stuff was about $10.

Avocado pasta! (serves one)

What you’ll need:

• 2 oz whole wheat pasta
• 1/2 of a large avocado
• 2/3 cup frozen green peas (defrosted)
• sea salt 
• pepper
• lemon juice

Directions:

• Boil pasta and drain. Put back in pot.
• Slice avocado and put in a bowl. Mash and add a dash (not too much, you don’t want it sour) of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add avocado mash into the pot with the noodles. Stir.
• Add peas

Voila! This was absolutely delicious. For all you avocado lovers out there!

Healthy mac n’ cheese!

Now.. I know it’s a lot of calories but it’s worth it and HEALTHIER and a much larger portion than that horrible boxed mac n’ cheese.

Ingredients: 

• shredded cheese (I used 1/4 cup and 2 tbsp of natural Sargento shreds)
• 2 oz whole grain pasta (I used rotini)
• 1/4 cup and 1 tbsp of plain greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp light plain soymilk
• fresh ground pepper and sea salt
• veggies of your choice

Directions

• Boil pasta and let drain
• Mix the greek yogurt and soy milk in a small bowl
• Put a layer of the pasta in a small dish (I used a souffle dish) then a layer of the greek yogurt mix, then a layer of cheese.
• Next layer of pasta, a bit of yogurt mix, your veggies, more yogurt mix, and the final layer of cheese (I topped mine off with 1 whole wheat ritz cracker for a little crunch)

Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes and serve! About 400 calories for the whole recipe.

**This was seriously AMAZING. My mom makes home made macaroni and cheese but it’s way too fatty for my liking. Don’t be afraid of the calories!

I made whole wheat pancakes with this recipe! They are delicious. The bottom one has blue berries and banana, and the top one has blueberries and strawberries. Instead of using syrup, I put some almond butter on them. SO GOOD!

Healthy pizza!

• light flat out italian whole grain wrap

* 1/4 cup pizza sauce

* 1-2 cups spinach

* 1/4 bell pepper

* 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (can also use 1 oz mozzarella!)

Cook for 10-13 minutes.

ITALIAN STUFFED PEPPERS!
Nutrition per whole pepper:
206 calories, 3g fat, 33 carbs, 15g protein

I first tried this during the summer and it was a complete hit! They’re really simple to make and the peppers roast on their own in the oven flavoring the filling too. Inside is lots of cheese of course but also other veggies like zucchini and spinach. You could try adding butternut squash (frozen) or cauliflower for a more wintery dish! :)
