Cauliflower Tots
You may be thinking, “What the heck is cauliflower tots?” Cauliflower Tots are tots made from mashed cauliflower and breadcrumbs fried and topped with vegan cheese, herbs, and/or spices. Cauliflower Tots are a great snack food alternative to traditional fried potatoes. They are also a great way to get your veggies in for the day.
In case you haven't seen them yet, cauliflower tots are what you get when you mix cooked cauliflower florets with bread crumbs, spices, and other ingredients, then pan-fry them. They're loaded with flavor and make a great side or appetizer dish for any meal — especially chicken and fish dishes.
Roasted Squash Salad with Lemony Tahini Sauce and a Feta
I've been eating a lot more salads lately. I think it's because I have gotten used to making them at home, and I'm getting tired of the same old cold, limp lettuce leaves. So, I went to the grocery store one day and bought some butternut squash, and I cooked it up with some minced garlic and roasted it in the oven. I then chopped up some zucchini and red onion and threw them in there too, with some chopped parsley and a bit of tahini. I paired it with a beautiful salad mix and some feta cheese, and I was ready to eat!
Spinach Basil Pesto
Do you like pesto? We sure do. In fact, we love to use pesto on just about everything we eat. In fact, our most recent recipe is our Spinach Basil Pesto. We have used it as a dip for veggies, spread our sandwiches with it, and even drizzled it over our salads. When I was a kid, my mom used to make her homemade pesto. She would add pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. She would then finely chop some fresh basil leaves and add them too. I used to love that pesto so much that I would ask my mom to make it for days when I had pesto cravings.
Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie
Everyone loves dessert, and what better way to satisfy your sweet tooth than with a healthy sweet treat? That's why I was so excited to find this recipe for a creamy sweet potato pie smoothie!
It's a great way to start your day. Or finish it if you're already in the middle of a hectic workday. It's a great way to make sure you're getting in all the nutrients you need without taking any extra time. It's a great way to increase the amount of fiber in your diet. It's a great way to kickstart your metabolism and get your day off to a great start. Sweet potatoes have a special place in my heart. I love making them into a pie, and I know it's about time I get in there and make a sweet potato pie smoothie.
