It's officially cold and flu season so time to tak

It's officially cold and flu season so time to take a little extra care, get plenty of sleep, pop those immune support supplements, and eat lots of immune-boosting foods. Like this Citrus Fennel Salad with Lemon Kefir Herb dressing.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
This pretty salad is full of antioxidants and probiotics, all of which support your immune system. If you can't find blood oranges just yet (they'll be coming...!) you can substitute regular oranges or grapefruit slices.⁠

Need an easy dinner idea that's rich, creamy, satisfying, and still good for you? This One Pan (Lentil) Penne Pasta with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce is IT!⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
This is perfect for #MeatlessMonday, and special enough to serve when you have company. And, even though it's luscious comfort food, it's full of veggies like artichokes, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
I try to eat a lower glycemic diet these days for my blood sugar, and I love this lentil pasta from @moderntable. It's WAAAAY higher in protein and fiber than regular pasta so I can enjoy a nice, big bowl.⁠

Here's what you need to make this:⁠
1 tablespoon olive oil⁠
1/2 medium onion minced⁠
3 medium garlic cloves minced⁠
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes with Italian herbs⁠
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken stock⁠
8 oz Modern Table penne pasta⁠
1 14 ounce can quartered artichoke hearts ⁠
2 cups baby spinach⁠
1/4 cup heavy cream⁠
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese⁠
fresh sliced basil leaves⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Grab the recipe on my website (it's in the archives). The link is in my bio. Enjoy!

🍎If an apple spice mug cake is high in protein

🍎If an apple spice mug cake is high in protein and fiber, can we just call it breakfast? Or dinner for that matter? ⁠
.⁠
⁠
.⁠

That works for me! ⁠

🍎This Apple Spice Protein Mug Cake is actually quite healthy. ⁠
It's made with:⁠
Whole wheat flour⁠

And - it takes less than 2 minutes to bake in the microwave.⁠
So when you're in the mood for cake for breakfast, I'll give this tasty treat a green light!1⁠

❓Tired of making balls and bars? Make these Hot

❓Tired of making balls and bars? Make these Hot Honey Roasted Nut Clusters instead. They're a perfect mix of hot, sweet, salty, and crunchy and I can't get enough of them!⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
These take about 32 seconds to make if you have a jar of my #hothoney in the fridge. If not, just simmer 2 cups of honey with 2 hot peppers (the recipe's on the blog but that's pretty much it). Then, mix a bit of hot honey with a few cups of nuts and roast.⁠
.⁠
Such an easy and healthy snack. Or sprinkle them on your oats, salad, yogurt, or anything that needs a pop of sweet-hot crunch.⁠
.⁠
The recipe's on my website. Link's in my bio. Enjoy!⁠

Are you into hot honey? I love the sweet-spicy kic

Are you into hot honey? I love the sweet-spicy kick it gives to everything from salad dressings to sauces, to roasted nuts, and even my overnight oats.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Here's a secret: You don't have to buy hot honey because it's ridiculously easy to make. Just some honey, and some heat. I went with jalapeno peppers 🌶️ but any kind of hot pepper will do. If you're brave, go for habaneros.⁠

❓❓If it's #NationalTacoDay but Instagram and Facebook are down all day, does it still satisfy your craving?🌮⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
My favorite taco recipe isn't actually tacos, because who needs a recipe for those? Instead, I love to have a jar of these Mexican-Style Pickled Vegetables in my fridge at all times. Just a spoonful takes any type of taco to a whole new level.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
So easy to make, and they're crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. I use carrots, radishes, jalapenos, jicama, red onions, and cilantro. Feel free to experiment with your favorite veggie combo.⁠
