Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups chopped kale, stems removed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the Savory Herb Oil:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the white beans, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the chopped kale and cook for about 10 minutes or until the kale is tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the savory herb oil by whisking together olive oil, basil, parsley, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with the herb oil before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Use a hand blender to puree some of the soup for a creamier texture, leaving some beans whole for added substance.

For enhanced depth of flavor, use homemade vegetable broth instead of store-bought. If you’re short on time, canned white beans work perfectly; just make sure to rinse them well. You can also add some chopped carrots or celery for extra veggies!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if the soup thickens too much.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
  3. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the coated eggplant slices. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
  6. While the eggplant is baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the fresh basil.
  7. Once the eggplant is done, layer half of the slices in a baking dish, top with half of the marinara sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
  8. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with extra basil before serving.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, consider adding Italian herbs to the almond crust mixture.

For the best results, make sure to slice your eggplant evenly, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking. If you’re looking to cut down on carbs, you can substitute the breadcrumbs with additional almond meal.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain the crispiness of the almond crust.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 1 orange, juiced and zested
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, zest, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Remove chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Reserve the marinade.
  5. Bake chicken for 25-30 minutes, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the chicken is baking, bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in parsley and cilantro.
  7. Serve the chicken thighs over the herb-infused couscous, drizzling with any remaining glaze.

Notes

Tip: For a more intense citrus flavor, marinate the chicken up to 2 hours before cooking.

To prevent the chicken from drying out, be sure to marinate it for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours, as the citrus can start to cook the meat. If you don’t have couscous, quinoa or rice can be great substitutes. For added texture, consider tossing in some roasted vegetables or nuts into the couscous.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to keep the chicken moist.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (like parsley, basil, and chives), finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create little boats.
  3. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out zucchini halves, pressing down gently to pack it in.

Notes

To make these zucchini bites even more flavorful, consider adding cooked bacon bits or sun-dried tomatoes to the cheese mixture. If you’re looking for a vegan option, substitute the cheese with a plant-based cream cheese and use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture before serving.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup polenta
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Olive oil for baking

Instructions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly.
  2. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, garlic powder, oregano, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Spread the polenta mixture into a greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Once the polenta has set, cut it into fry shapes. Brush with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  8. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top before baking!

To make these fries even crispier, ensure that your polenta is chilled and firm before cutting it into fry shapes. A hot oven will help achieve that golden-brown exterior. If you’re short on time, consider using pre-cooked polenta available in stores.

For a different flavor profile, you can experiment with flavored oils in place of the truffle oil, like garlic or herb-infused oils. These fries can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to regain their crispiness.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the ricotta mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving.

For best results, use fresh blueberries, but frozen ones can work too—just be aware they may bleed a bit of color into the batter. If you don’t have ricotta, cottage cheese can be a good substitute. To keep pancakes warm while you cook the rest, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) on a baking sheet.

Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a different flavor twist. Lastly, for a lighter version, you can replace some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
