Pizza Stuffed Peppers

I absolutely love pizza, but it normally takes me several slices before I’m actually full. So I switched things up and decided to put some of my favorite pizza toppings inside peppers, making this dish low-carb, fiber-full and protein-packed! These would be so fun to make with kids (and you’ll be happy they’re eating their Pizza Stuffed Peppers

Hearty Vegetable and Lentil Soup

Baked Cod with Puttanesca Sauce

 You have to love a meal that’s on the table in less than 15 minutes – especially one that’s colorful, packs nutritional value and has tons of flavor.

Chock-full of lean chicken and colorful veggies, this is a meal you can prep and enjoy throughout the week (and feel good about). I like Chicken Egg Roll Bowls

Red Curry Mussels

Mussels are one of my favorite appetizers to order if they’re on a menu. I’m not sure if it’s the mussels or the yummy broth they’re served in that I like more, but either way I’m hooked! I have a party coming up where the client wants mussels, so I decided to try out some Red Curry Mussels
