When VFitters get together, they bring the fun and the healthy food to share! This dish was part of the NorCal VFit get together and is a MUST MAKE! Chock full of nutrient dense and delicious ingredients, this is a real crowd pleaser and perfect to bring to a pot luck. Thank you Linda S for sharing! This is from the cookbook Soups and Sides by Catherine Walthers.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH TACOS
This is a great option for Meatless Monday (or Taco Tuesday) or any day really! We love the rich and creamy taste of butternut squash. Packed full of nutrients, this meal is a very quick and healthy spin on Mexican food.
AUTUMN HARVEST SALAD
This salad is inspired by one of Meg’s favorite healthy go-to restaurants, True Life Kitchen (BTW- if you live near one and haven’t yet tried it – it’s a must do!). Packed with seasonal veggies, pomegranate seeds, and antioxidant-filled dried mulberries, this nutrient superstar of a salad is the perfect holiday starter. Add salmon or chicken to increase the protein!
CINNAMON CARROT BREAKFAST MUFFINS
This easy muffin recipe mixes up carrots and an apple pie inspired spice blend that will make your whole house smell AMAZING as they bake. You can also switch out the carrot and use sweet potato or zucchini for a twist. We've adapted this muffin recipe from the 21 Day Sugar Detox by Diane Sanfilippo.
BREAKFAST TACOS
We all love breakfast food and we all love Mexican food, right? Well, this dish combines the joys of both with tasty breakfast tacos. Kick boring scrambled eggs to side, bring on the tacos and a little hot sauce and your breakfast just got mucho caliente! Adding avocado helps bring some healthy fat and ensure these tacos help fuel you through the morning.
AVOCADO DEVILED EGGS
We simply cannot get enough of these insanely good deviled eggs! Instead of using mayonnaise or other traditional fillers, we've chosen heart healthy avocado to mix in with the yolk. This adds more healthy fat, brings on creamy texture, and boosts the flavor and color on these hand held cuties. If bringing to a party as an app, double the recipe, just trust us. These'll go QUICKLY!
CHEESY GARLIC MASHED CAULIFLOWER
Potatoes are delightful, but why not switch it up sometimes with this cruciferous superfood instead? You won't notice the difference!
CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA WITH KALE PESTO
This is hands down one of the best pizza's out there. Great flavor and you can get creative with toppings and sauces.
GOAT CHEESE OMELET WITH SPINACH
This easy meal offers protein from eggs, nutrients from veggies, and goat cheese takes this from standard to standout! Feel free to add some nitrate free sausage, bacon, or chicken if you’re craving a little extra protein.
INDIAN SPICED SLOW COOKER LENTILS
Your home will smell exotic and take you to a faraway land while these slow cooker lentils simmer in your crockpot. Pop all the main ingredients in in the morning, cook low and slow, then by dinner it's time to enjoy this iron rich, protein filled dish!
