Description

Just like the Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell, but vegetarian! Packed with layers of seasoned lentils, melty cheese, fresh pico de gallo, spinach and crispy tortillas, this Vegetarian Crunchwrap Supreme brings all the flavor and texture you crave. It’s the most delicious, satisfying twist on a classic you’ll ever taste—trust me, you’ll want this in your weekly rotation!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Lentil Filling:

  • 1 can, 14 oz, Canned Lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts
  • 1/2 Red Onion, finely diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Nutritional Yeast (optional but adds killer umami!)

Pico de Gallo:

  • 34 Roma Tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 Medium Red Onion, finely diced
  • 1 Jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 Lime, Juiced
  • 1/8 tsp Kosher or Sea Salt
  • Pinch Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parsley, chopped

Additional Toppings:

  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • Baby Spinach
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 10-inch size Large Flour Tortillas
  • 8 Tostada Shells

Instructions

Start by making the lentil filling:

  1. Heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sautee until softened, about 7-8 minutes.
  2. Then, turn the heat to low and add the minced garlic, walnuts, spices and 1 tbsp water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained and rinsed lentils to the pan and sautee for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and set aside. (Note: If you are meal prepping, allow the lentils to cool and then pop into a container, label and put in the fridge until you are ready to make your Crunchwrap.)

Pico de Gallo:

  1. Chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and parsley and place into a medium sized bowl. Add the lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir together with a spoon and set aside.

Assembly:

  1. Start by cutting a large tortilla into fourths and set aside. These sections will fill in the center of the crunchwrap.
  2. Next, on a flat surface, lay one large tortilla out. Top with 1/3 cup of the lentil filling right in the center. (Note: Resist the urge to overfill here! Too much filling and you don’t be able to fold and close your wrap!)
  3. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of grated cheddar cheese over the lentils. Top that with 1 tostada shell.
  4. Spoon 2 tbsp of Greek Yogurt on top of the tostada shell. (It’s easiest to pickup the tostada, spread the Greek Yogurt and then place over top the lentils and cheese.) 
  5. To the Greek Yogurt, top with 1/4 cup of pico de gallo. (Note: I like to use a spoon and drain a little of the liquid off as i spoon the pico de gallo on so that the crunchwrap doesn’t get soggy.)
  6. Next, place baby spinach over top, just enough to cover the other toppings. If your spinach leaves are large, tear them into smaller pieces as you place onto your wrap.
  7. Then place the 1/4 piece of flour tortilla right in the center on top.
  8. Next, fold the large tortilla over top of the center ingredients. To do so, start with a small section and fold it up and over towards the center of the wrap. Hold that with your finger and then fold another section over top, slightly overlapping each section. Continue folding and holding until the entire wrap is folded closed. Give it a good press down and place a small plate on top to hold your folds while you heat your pan up.
  9. Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil.
  10. Once the pan is hot, place the wrap seam side down into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  11. Flip the wrap over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until nicely browned.
  12. Remove the wrap from the skillet. Slice in half and enjoy!

Notes

  1. If your flour tortillas are a little dry, pop them in the microwave with a damp paper towel for 15 seconds to soften them. Dry tortillas will crack and won’t fold like you want them to!
  2. Other optional add-ons that would be tasty: Guacamole or mashed avocado, swap salsa for pico de gallo if you’re in a hurry, romaine lettuce for spinach.

  • 4 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 3/4 tsp Peppermint Extract

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil
  • 3/4 tsp Peppermint Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cover a sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper and set aside.

  7. Bake for 12-17 minutes. (Be sure to check the cookies at 12 minutes, you want them to be crispy but don’t allow them to burn!) Allow cookie wafers to cool completely.
  8. While the cookie wafers cool, make the chocolate coating. To a microwave safe bowl add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  9. Microwave on 25 second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is just melted. Then add in the peppermint extract and stir to combine.
  10. Take a chocolate wafer, dip into the melted chocolate coating, turning the wafer to coat the entire cookie. Let any excess chocolate drip off into the bowl and place the cookie onto your prepared sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper.
  11. Continue with remaining wafers, coating each in chocolate.
  12. Place the coated cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes or refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  13. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator, however you like your thin mints! Enjoy!

Description

Greek Chicken & Chickpeas is a flavorful and flexitarian dinner that will impress your guests and family!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Chicken Breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2, 15oz Cans Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Large Onion, diced
  • 2 Lemons, zested and juiced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 tsp Oregano
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper


Instructions

  1. Set out two separate mixing bowls, one will be for the chicken, the other for the chickpeas. (Note: If you do not mind the meat and chickpeas mixed together then feel free to use one large bowl!)
  2. To one bowl, mix up the marinade. Add the olive oil, diced onion, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk together to combine.
  3. Pour half of the marinade into the other bowl. You should have half of the marinade in each bowl.
  4. Add the chickpeas to one bowl and cover then add the chicken to the other bowl and cover it. Place both bowls into the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.
  5. When you are ready to cook. Heat two large cast iron pans over medium high heat. Add 2 tsp olive oil to each pan.
  6. When the pans are heated, add the chickpeas to one pan and the chicken to the other.
  7. Cook the chicken and chickpeas, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the chickpeas are crispy. The cast iron pan will help to crisp and slightly char the chicken and chickpeas. This is good flavor! (Note that the chicken should be cooked through to 165 F).
  8. Serve the chicken and chickpeas over whole wheat naan bread, tzatizki sauce, tomato and cucumber salad and top with feta and kalamata olives. Enjoy!

Description

Braided Pesto Garlic Knots are delicious bites packed with spinach pesto, garlic and cheese. Perfect as an appetizer or side dish!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Instructions

  1. Start by making the Whole Wheat Pizza Dough and Spinach Pesto.
  2. Roll the pizza dough into a square, roughly 12×12 inches.
  3. Using a spatula, spread the pesto onto the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around all sides.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella over the pesto.
  5. Next, take the top half of the dough and fold down to meet the bottom. You are basically folding the dough in half here. (Check out the video for a play-by-play!)
  6. Then, using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough horizontally into 6 sections. You should have 6 rectangles at this point.
  7. Now, take one of your rectangles and vertically cut two slits into the dough, keeping the top portion intact. Continue with remaining rectangles.
  8. Next it’s time to braid! Take one of your rectangles and fold the left dough portion over the middle section then repeat with the left side. Continue braiding until you reach the end of the dough. Then, pinch the bottom of the dough to seal. Now take the end you sealed and roll it up towards the other end. You will now have a braided pesto knot! Continue with the rest of the rectangles.
  9. Place the knots into a 9×9 baking dish and brush with a little olive oil.
  10. Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Note if the tops get a little too brown, cover with foil for the last 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and serve with marinara sauce or extra pesto. Enjoy!

Decadent truffles made with dates


Ingredients

Units Scale

Truffle Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups Pitted Dates
  • 2 tbsp Brewed Coffee
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder

Chocolate Coating & Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • Optional Toppings: Sea Salt, Chopped Pecans, Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Instructions

  1. In a heat-proof bowl, add the dates and cover with hot water. Let the dates soak for 5 minutes to help them soften.
  2. Drain the dates then add them to the bowl of your food processor, along with the 2 tbsp brewed coffee.
  3. Process until the dates are broken down into small pieces.
  4. Next, add the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Process again until the date mixture becomes slightly smooth.
  5. Now, add the cocoa powder and process again! Stop and scrape down your bowl and then process again. This make take 2-4 minutes depending on your food processor. You are looking for a fairly smooth mixture.
  6. Now it’s time to roll our truffles! Prep a sheet tray with parchment paper and set out on your work surface. Also, grab a bowl and fill it with water to help keep the filling from sticking to your hands.
  7. Scoop out 1/2 tbsp of filling, wet your hands with the water and roll into ball shape, then place onto your parchment paper tray. Continue until all the truffle filling has been rolled.
  8. Next, pop the tray of truffle balls into the freezer to firm up for 15 minutes.
  9. Before you get the truffles out of the freezer, make the chocolate coating
  10. In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 25 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted.
  11. Get your toppings ready and set out next to the melted chocolate
  12. Pull the tray of truffle balls out of the freezer.
  13. Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate and using a fork, roll the chocolate around and then let some of the chocolate drip off before popping back onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still melty, add a sprinkle of your topping of choice.
  14. Continue with the remaining truffles until they are all coated and topped!
  15. Pop the truffles into the fridge to let the chocolate set up and harden for at least 10 minutes.
  16. Enjoy these little bites of chocolate goodness!

  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Oat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

Peanut Butter Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup PBFit Peanut Butter Powder
  • 45 tbsp Soy Milk (or milk of your preference)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and spray an 8×8 inch pan with nonstick spray, then set aside.
  2. To the bowl of a food processor, add the black beans and maple syrup. Process until smooth.
  3. Next, add the two eggs and process again.
  4. Then, add the olive oil, espresso powder, salt, baking powder, cocoa powder and oat flour and process again to combine all ingredients.
  5. Next, remove the blade from the food processor, scrape down the batter and add the chocolate chips, stirring with a spatula.
  6. Then, pour the batter into your prepared pan and set aside while you make the peanut butter swirl.
  7. To a medium size bowl, add the PBFit and 5 tablespoons of milk. Whisk together. The consistency should be a little thinner than regular peanut butter. If it is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.
  8. To make the swirl, drop dollops of the PBFit mixture onto the brownie batter, spreading them evenly over top of the batter. Then, using a butter knife, start from one corner and drag the knife through the batter and PB from one end of the pan to the other. Continue going back and forth until you reach the other side of the pan. Then, rotate the pan 90 degrees to create swirls in the other direction. Again, start from one corner and go up and back, snaking your way across the batter. Continue until you get the look that you like.
  9. Place the brownies into the oven and bake for 20 minutes until they are set.
  10. Allow brownies to cool for 15 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!

One of my most popular recipes! Quinoa Greek Salad is a great side dish, lunch and excellent to bring to potlucks!


Ingredients

Scale
Salad Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Quinoa
  • 3 cups Water
  • 1 pt Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
Balsamic Dressing Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

For the quinoa and veggies
  1. Rinse the 1 1/2 cups quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, heat 3 cups of water over high heat. Add the rinsed quinoa. Bring quinoa and water to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. The quinoa is done cooking when all the water is absorbed and it is light and fluffy.
  2. Prep and slice veggies.
  3. Peel cucumber and slice off the ends. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon scoop out the seeds. Next, slice each half lengthwise into 1/2 inch long sections. Then stack your long sections together to dice into 1/2 inch dice. Place diced cucumber into a large bowl.
  4. Rinse your cherry tomatoes. Slice each tomato lengthwise (its prettier!). Place into bowl with cucumber.
  5. Slice kalamata olives in half. Place into bowl with cucumber and tomato.
 
For the balsamic dressing
  1. Into a small mixing bowl or mason jar add all dressing ingredients. Whisk until the dressing is fully emulsified. Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings per your preference
Putting the salad together
  1. Once the quinoa has finished cooking add 3/4 of the dressing to the hot quinoa and stir to mix well. This will allow the quinoa to really absorb the dressing.
    Place the quinoa into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Once the quinoa has cooled, place it into a large bowl. Add the cucumber, cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives. Next add the feta and mix together, taking care not to smash your tomatoes. Add the remaining 1/4 of the dressing and mix together. Place the salad back into the refrigerator for 1 more hour. Serve chilled, enjoy!

Description

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze are crispy, caramelized, and coated in a sweet-tangy drizzle that makes veggies feel exciting again. They’re the perfect simple side that adds color, flavor, and a little nourishment to any holiday table.


Ingredients

Scale
Roasted Brussels
  • 1 1/2 lbs Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

For the Brussels Sprouts
  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F. Set a large sheet tray out for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Rinse the Brussels sprouts. Trim the root end off and discard. Slice each sprout in half and place on the sheet tray. Some leaves will fall off, this okay simply add them to the sheet tray too. Discard any outer leaves that are yellow and not green.
  3. Pour one tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper over the Brussels. Using your hands mix it all together to coat the Brussels. Place the tray into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway. Watch them carefully for the last few minutes as the leaves can burn easily.
For the Balsamic Glaze
  1. While the Brussels sprouts roast, make the balsamic glaze. Heat a sauce pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Turn the heat up to medium high and bring the mixture to a low boil.
  3. Once it has reached boil, turn it down and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. The mixture will cook down and get slightly thicker. You will know its done when the liquid will coat the back of a spoon.
  4. After the 20 minutes turn the heat off and allow the glaze to cool slightly. It will thicken and become glaze like as it cools.
To Serve
  1. Using a spoon drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the roasted Brussels sprouts. Enjoy hot!

Description

Better than Girl Scout Samoa cookies with just 4-ingredients! Plus, no added preservatives or artificial nonsense here!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Unsweetened, Shredded Coconut
  • 2 cups Pitted Dates
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F for toasting the coconut.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor add the dates and pulse for 10-20 seconds to break down the dates.
  3. Pour coconut onto a sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper and place in the oven to toast for 3-5 minutes. (Take care to watch it as it will burn easily!) Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the toasted coconut to the dates in the food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds. You will know the mixture is ready when it can be pinched together and stays together.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon size portions of the mixture and form into a round cookie shape, pressing it into shape with your fingers. Place onto your sheet tray with the silpat or parchment from toasting the coconut. Continue to form cookies with the remaining mixture.*To make authentic Girl Scout Samosas, take a toothpick or small spatula handle and make a hole in the center of each cookie. You may need to press and shape the cookies to retain their shape.
  6. Place the sheet tray into the freezer and freeze for 5 minutes to set the cookies shape.
  7. Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 25 second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring in between each interval.
  8. Next, remove the cookies from the freezer. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate to coat the bottom and return to your silpat or parchment covered sheet tray. Repeat for all cookies. Then, using a spoon, drizzle the remaining chocolate over the cookies in a stripe pattern for the full Samoa look.
  9. Place the cookies back into the freezer for at least 10 minutes so that the chocolate will set. Remove from the freezer and carefully peel the cookies off your silpat or parchment. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep the Samoas in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Description

Refreshing, delicious and naturally sweet. Raspberry Mango Sorbet is the perfect summer treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz Frozen Mango
  • 16 oz Frozen Raspberries
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice (Juice from 1 whole lime)
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 5 tbsp Warm Water

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor add the frozen fruit, lime juice, honey and 2 tablespoons warm water.
  2. Process for 1-2 minutes then stop and scrape down the bowl. At this point you will likely need to add a few more tablespoons of warm water to help break up the frozen fruit.
  3. Process again for another 1-2 minutes until the fruit mixture becomes smooth.
    Tip: A little patience is key with this recipe! Sometimes it is helpful to let the mixture thaw for a minute or two and then process again to get the smooth consistency of a sorbet.
  4. After the mixture becomes smooth and cohesive, put the sorbet into a freezer container and place into the freezer for at least 30 minutes (if you can wait that long!)

  • Yield: 8 Servings
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Simple and delicious whole wheat pizza dough. Perfect for your next homemade pizza night.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Dry Active Yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/4 cups Water (plus a tablespoon or two if needed)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the flours, yeast and salt. Mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  2. Pour the water into the bowl and mix the dough together. It should be a shaggy dough. Remember it will rise while it sits!
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or dish towel. Place the bowl in a draft free area and allow to sit for at least 4 hours, up to 8 hours.
  4. After dough has risen for at least 4 hours it is ready to roll out.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450º. Sprinkle a sheet pan with cornmeal.
  6. Flour your countertop to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll out dough into desired shape and size. If rolling into a rectangle, it will yield one 9×13 crust. Transfer crust to sheet pan sprinkled with cornmeal.
  7. Place the crust into the preheated oven and par-bake for 8 minutes. After this it is ready to be topped and made into pizza!
 

Notes

Pizza Assembly – After Crust has Par-Baked
  1. Spoon out pizza sauce and spread evenly.
  2. Top with veggies, cheese, and other desired toppings.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and just starting to turn brown.

Continue to fill all popsicle molds, then place into the freezer for at least 2 hours to fully harden.

Notes

*If you do not have a popsicle mold, enjoy this as mango sorbet! Simply put the mixture into a freezer safe container. Allow to freeze for 2 hours and then scoop out and enjoy!

Instructions

Make the Dressing:

Description

Simple, fast and delicious! Creamy melted zucchini pasta cooks up in no time and delivers a meal that the entire family will enjoy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Medium Zucchini
  • 1 lb Spaghetti Pasta (Look for Bronze, Die-Cut Pasta)
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, Whole
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Take care to not over cook, we want al dente pasta here! But, DO NOT DRAIN THE PASTA WATER! We will use some of the pasta water for our sauce.
  2. While the pasta cooks, work on the sauce and zucchini.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow to heat up for 1 minute, then add the whole garlic cloves and cook for 4-5 minutes to infuse the oil with the garlic.
  4. While the garlic cooks, grate the zucchini. Set a clean dish towel out on a counter or cutting board. Over top the towel, grate the zucchini using a box grater. Gather the towel by the ends and then, over the sink or a bowl, squeeze the liquid out of the shredded zucchini.
  5. Slowly, in batches, add the shredded zucchini to the olive oil skillet. (Take care and go slow because the oil is hot!) Cook the zucchini in the oil for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or spatula. The zucchini will start to break down and “melt” into the oil, this is when it is done. Remove the garlic cloves from the zucchini, discard.
  6. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the pot directly into the skillet with the zucchini. Add the Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, and using the tongs, stir together the pasta, cheese, zest and zucchini. The cheese will melt into the mixture, creating the sauce for this dish. If the pasta seems dry, add a few tablespoons of pasta water to loosen up the pasta and create more of a sauce.
  7. Add salt and pepper and adjust seasonings based on your preference. Serve hot and enjoy!

Instructions

Make the Turmeric Pickled Onions
  1. Combine all the ingredients into a mason jar or a glass container with a lid. Allow to marinate for at least 12 hours, ideally 24 hours.
Roasted Beet Puree
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
  2. Scrub the beets to remove any dirt then cut off the tops and bottom and peel the beets. Place each beet into a square of aluminum foil, top with olive oil, salt and pepper. Pinch and seal the foil then place each parcel onto a large sheet tray. Place the sheet tray with beets into the oven and roast for 40-50 minutes until the beets are very tender.
  3. Place the roasted beets into the bowl of a food processor with 1/2 cup water. Puree until mixture is smooth.
Beet Pizza Dough
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer add 1 cup of warm water, sugar and yeast. Allow the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add the salt, flour and beet puree. Mix on low to incorporate all the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium. Add additional flour as needed to form a soft and spongy dough. Cover the bowl and allow dough to rise for 1 hour.
  3. Get ready to roll and cook the dough! Preheat your oven to 475 F.
  4. Flour a countertop or large board to roll out the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll to 1/4 inch thick. Then, using a small 2 inch cutter, cut out the dough and place onto a large sheet tray. Continue to cut out the rest of the dough, place on the tray and then bake at 475 F for 5 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Broccoli Pesto
  1. Combine the broccoli and garlic scapes into the bowl of a food processor and process for 1 minute.
  2. Add the salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar and pulse again to mix. Next, with the processor on, drizzle the olive oil in through the feed tube. Then add the Parmesan cheese and process once more to fully incorporate all ingredients. Taste the pesto and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Assembling the Pizzettes
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil. Crisp a pizzette in the oil, turning over after 1 minute and then cooking the other size for 1 more minute.
  2. To the pizzette, add 1 tsp broccoli pesto, top with 1 tsp julienne sugar snap peas and two small, pickled onions. Finally top with a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve immediately, enjoy!

Description

Simple sauteed Bok Choy is a fast and flavorful side dish for any dinner!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Bok Choy (One Large Bunch or Two Medium Bunches)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Garlic Clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce

Instructions

  1. Trim the root end off of your bok choy and discard. Then fan the leaves open, rinse off any dirt and shake off excess water.
  2. Place the rinsed bok choy onto a cutting board. Line the bok choy up horizontally and with a sharp knife, starting with the white part and moving to the leafy green, chop into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  3. Heat a medium sized skillet, wok or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and allow to heat up for 30 seconds.
  4. When the oil is heated, add the white parts of the bok choy only! (This is key so that the greens do not wilt while the white part cooks!) Allow to cook for 1 minute.
  5. Next, add the rest of the boy choy, (the greens!) and cook for another 2 minutes. Then turn the heat down to medium low and add the garlic and soy sauce. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic just softens. Serve immediately.

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Description

Creamy, cheesy, and absolutely delicious! Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese is packed with flavor, fiber and nutrients. It is the perfect dish for your holiday meals.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Butternut Squash
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock
  • 4 oz Gruyere Cheese, Shredded
  • 8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 16 oz Cavatappi Pasta

Breadcrumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Herbs (Such as Thyme, Sage)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a large sheet tray with foil, set aside.
  2. Using a sharp knife, slice the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Be careful as the squash’s skin is quite tough! Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and bit of flesh from the squash.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil over the squash halves. Place garlic cloves into each squash half. Add 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Place sheet tray into the preheated oven and roast for 40-60 minutes, depending on the size of your butternut squash. You will know the squash is done when you can press it with a fork and it is soft.
  4. While the squash is roasting, cook your pasta. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 tsp salt to your water. Add your pasta and cook 1 minute under the recommended time. You want your pasta to be “al dente” and have a little bite to it. Drain the pasta and set the pot aside to use again.
  5. Let the squash cool for at least 10 minutes. After 10 minutes scoop the flesh of the butternut squash out and place into the bowl of a food processor. Be sure to scoop all the flesh and the garlic!
  6. Add 1 cup of stock to the food processor. Process the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
  7. Place the pot you used for the pasta onto the stove and heat to low. Using a spatula spoon the butternut squash mixture into the pot. Add both the shredded gruyere and cheddar cheeses. Stir the cheeses into the butternut squash mixture until they are melted. At this point check your mixture for seasoning. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to your squash and cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  9. Place pasta mixture into a 9×13 dish that has been coated with cooking spray.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs over top of mac and cheese. Then top with herbs and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over top.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, enjoy!
