a burrito bowl made of ground Turkey and crisp, baked butternut squash, topped with avocado and chili flakes
Turkey & Butternut Burrito Bowl
August 16, 2019

This recipe is a twist on a burrito bowl that uses healthy carbs and healthy fats to help satisfy your craving for Mexican food or even noodle dishes without sacrificing flavor.  A fiesta bowl for your taste buds!   You can substitute the turkey with ground beef, bison or ground chicken.  You can also substitute the butternut squash with a yam or a sweet potato.  I like the squash because it stays a little crunchy.  Do not forget the lime it really brightens the dish and offsets the sweetness of the squash.

Baked Salmon Meatballs With Creamy Avocado Sauce
January 29, 2019

Here is  a recipe that I used for a client recently for lunch but this would also be great as a snack or an appetizer.  I was a little skeptical but  pleasantly surprised!  You can make them bite size for a party or a little larger if you are using for a meal.   Really yummy and the avocado cream with the chipotle seasoning adds a little smokey flavor with depth.  For bite size you do not even need a dollop of the sauce.  All you really need is a teaspoon of the sauce.  Try this!  You will be delighted you did.  Serve them at your Super Bowl party for a healthy snack!!
