This week, we are keeping it simple. The truth is, we love cooking. The truth also is that sometimes cooking is just a pain in the butt- especially midweek. SO- here are some of our favorite recipes courtesy of Natalie of Tastes Lovely. She is all about clean eating and making that clean eating fun for everyone that you are trying to get dinner on the table for (friends, kiddos, partners, etc). With Shari currently off on family vacation and me (Kendall) in the thick of a toddler screaming for more Trader Joe’s Honey Oh’s (because YES she knows the difference between Honey Nut Cheerios and the TJ’s version), we need some simplistic and clean options to save time. Without further ado, here are some favorite tried and trued recipes from the lovely Natalie. Make sure to check out Tastes Lovely for more recipes and inspo!
Ok- we know, you are probably thinking, “Dairy free? Yeah right…”. BUT you would be remiss to ignore this recipe. It is super good, healthy, and easy to make. You can throw it on top of nachos, burrito bowls, veggies, etc. The sky is the limit. Make a large batch to keep on hand for the week. You will not regret it.
Keto Creamy Pesto Shrimp Pasta
Look, don’t be scared off by the word “keto.” Take a chill pill- keto stuff is actually pretty delicious. Just ask my husband. Anyways, if you want pasta but you don’t want the bloat and all the extra carbs that make the morning after harder, look no further. It’s easy, it’s delicious, and it feels… nourishing to eat. That’s a trifecta of things if you ask me.
Oh. My. God. Delish. Healthy. Kid friendly. A great appetizer for parties. Mic drop.
Look, friends… I (Kendall) am just a Hispanic girl who loves her Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Latino foods. Living in Vermont, I don’t really get many options so whatever I am craving, I gotta make. I am telling you- this is so freaking good. I spice it up with, literally, extra spices and it’s perfect. I also am not gassy or bloated after… I call this a win. It’s great to make a large batch of these and keep them in the fridge for the week.
Whole 30 + Keto Zuppa Toscana Soup
Shari and I love soup. Like, love soup. Soup is the hallmark of the fall and winter seasons. Soup makes us feel warm inside. Soup gives us satisfaction. SO, here is one of our favorite recipes from Natalie. It kicks The Olive Garden’s version of this soup in the booty. Keep this one on deck for late September.
