The recipe by Weelicious is wonderful the way it is written. However, I recommend you cut up your chicken breasts before placing them in the crock pot to ensure they cook in the time allotted. I also enjoyed topping mine with plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream to cut down on added fat and subsequent calories. If you want a solid crunch, consider crumbling Late July brand tortilla chips on top! Regardless of how you dress it up, this chili is delicious. Enjoy!

To come up with the recipe, I played around with suggestions from one of my favorite vegan cookbooks, Thug Kitchen. Their recipe includes how to make your own, vegan buffalo sauce. I instead use Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Sauce. Warning: it's SPICY. You can use any buffalo sauce you prefer and cool it down with a version or ranch that fits your dietary preferences.

Any grab and go foods that you can make nutritious are a sure fire win in my book.

Are you looking for a healthy and delicious breakfast alternative? Or a yummy afternoon snack? Look no further than these muffins! Packed with 1 cup of zucchini and carrots, you're able to start your day with some vegetables without even knowing it.

If you are ready to start eating breakfast as you've learned how beneficial it is to your overall health, but you're just not hungry in the mornings, check out this guide on how to make a smoothie!

A couple of additional tips from me:
  • I recommend you store your leafy greens in the freezer. They blend up better if they're frozen ahead of time,
  • If you'd like a very smooth smoothie, then make sure to include a frozen banana. They'll thicken that smoothie up and give you the texture you're looking for. Just make sure to peel them before you freeze them.
  • If you want to add more nutrients to your smoothie, you can always add any of the "Boost It" items. I highly recommend flax seeds, ground is fine, and the protein powder of your choice.

I could eat tacos and other Mexican style foods for every meal. This baked enchilada dish replaces tortillas with a protein packed substitute, quinoa. You can use any beans you like, but I tend to use black beans. 

This recipe freezes well, and it's one of my husband's favorites due to its flavor and versatility. I tend to top it with salsa, plain Greek yogurt, and handfuls of spinach. 
I adapted this recipe from one by Two Peas & Their Pod. I wanted to make it a bit less spicy and a bit more versatile for you!

Are you ready for a lasagna recipe you can enjoy sans guilt?!

Then click keep on reading to find out how to make this delicious dinner using Eggplant as the noodles!

I was honestly shocked at how delicious this was as I was not used to eating eggplant without it being breaded and fried.  
I had honestly never used eggplant in a recipe before, and it was a goal of mine to find something to make that included this pretty, summertime veggie. Insert Cheesy Eggplant Roll-ups from Tasty. I adapted the recipe to make it a bit healthier, with lower fat ricotta cheese, and more logical in the step by step process. Note that this recipe requires some prep time as you need to dehydrate the eggplant slices before you start cooking.

Get ready for a delicious recipe your waistline is going to love. I have never had Shawarma before, so I had no clue what to expect as I followed Naturally Ella’s recipe, but boy am I glad I tried out this recipe!
It’s a bit spicy, so I’d recommend you pair it with a Tzatziki sauce if you’re ok with consuming dairy or make sure to have more hummus on hand for dipping as she suggests.

This recipe is a CROWD PLEASER! My husband is a happy man anytime he sees this recipe on our weekly meal plan.
​
​You can keep it vegan or make it vegetarian; the choice is totally up to you! If you need to lower the carbs, you could always eat this without the bun. It will be delicious however you choose to serve it! 
I made this recipe as is but added white american cheese making it vegetarian. Once the vegetables were ready, I turned the heat down to low and melted the cheese on top of the vegetables by simply adding a lid to the skillet. Then I portioned it out onto the hoagies.
