Who doesn’t like fried rice? No one. One great thing you can do with this recipe is switch out the rice for cauliflower “rice” to make it grain and gluten free. This recipe also goes along with the pantry staples theme. It’s easy and can be whipped together in 20 minutes. Not sure what to do with leftover rice? This is your recipe!

We all know Halloween is around the corner and for most people it means gobs of candy bars in your face at the office, at the store, basically anywhere you go at this time of year. One way to help curb those candy cravings is to incorporate naturally sweet foods, such as this silky butternut squash soup. The creamy tahini dressing pairs so nicely with kale. It’s refreshing and satisfying! I also love it because it takes about 5 minutes to make. This salad is very high in minerals, from both the tahini and kale. Calcium doesn’t only come from dairy, as many dark leafy greens are packed with the mineral. Yes, it is stripetti and not spaghetti, although very similar. I found this guy at Whole Foods while perusing the produce section with my friend. It’s a mixture of a spaghetti squash and delicata squash- makes sense considering the inside is more like a spaghetti squash, but it looks like a giant delicata squash on the outside. If you want candy on a plate, make this. Seriously though, delicata squash is heaven. It’s got a lot of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron, supporting the eyes, skin, immune system, bones, and cell health. These little buggers are packed with so much flavor, you only need olive oil and sea salt. This is by far the easiest tomato "salad" you'll ever make in your life. I put "salad" in quotes because it's not really a salad, but I don't know what else to call it. HA! When you have high quality ingredients, all you have to do is slightly enhance the flavor and voila, you have yourself one of the best tasting meals. Switch up the regular cauliflower florets and cut the head into thick slices. They look absolutely beautiful on a plate instead of plopping on a pile of cauliflower. This is a good trick for a fancy dinner party. It actually requires less cutting and less time. But shhhhh, no one needs to know that! This has to be one of my most favorite salads of all time, plus it's super easy to make. It is incredibly refreshing and nutrient dense. It's filled with prebiotic fibers, folate, manganese, copper, potassium, vitamin C, iron, vitamin A, and has anti-inflammatory properties. This has the ability to lighten up any meal as a side. Sometimes I get serious cravings for greens- thank goodness my body knows what's up and let's me know I'm lacking something. This salad definitely satisfies the taste buds with the sweet, tart, and bitter all packed together. Collards are in the cruciferous family and may help prevent some cancers with their sulfur-containing compounds. |
