Greek Lemon Turkey Soup with carrots, lemon, dill, parsley is such an anti-inflammatory energizing meal! Once you try this easy-to-prepare healthy soup recipe, you’ll surely want to put it on repeat. As you know, with having SIBO for many years, undiagnosed, I always like to include a Low-FODMAP option.

What is the purpose of a Buddha bowl?

Other than striving to achieve balance in your health, the Buddha bowl has nothing to do with Buddhism. Also known as Hippie, Sunshine and Macro bowls, Buddha bowls combine whole grains, raw or roasted veggies, protein and are usually topped with a delicious dressing and seeds.

In the winter, I make a ton of soup. Like every week, I make soup! I kid you not, after healing from SIBO I quickly learned after many elimination diets that I felt better on all veggies that were cooked or made into a soup. Not many people know this, but eating cooked veggies are so much easier to digest than raw, so if you are experiencing more than normal bloating or distention, I highly recommend trying to steam or cook your veggies.

One of my favorite types of meals to create and eat are bowls.  Whether they are breakfast smoothie bowls or savory lunch/dinner bowls, they all are so fun to create and always super flavor packed and easy to customize to your tastes and cravings.  The Flavor Packed Chicken Buddha Bowl recipe below is one of my all-time favorites!  Like many of the recipes I share, it is very easy, fast, and of course delicious!!

Soup is a great way to stay warm, reduce calories and maintain nutritional intake during the winter months. Soup has many health benefits if you prepare it correctly. Soups can support your immune system when you've been cooped up indoors during the winter. I eat A LOT of soups, like almost every day in the winter. I love them because when my food is cooked through, you digest it so much easier.

Cornbread muffins are easy to make from scratch, with a few simply ingredients you most likely have on hand already and ready in 20 minutes. They turn out light and fluffy every time!

Here is a super simple recipe for butternut squash that will definitely please every butternut squash lover at your holiday table!

The temps are starting to get a bit chillier as we find ourselves well into the Fall season with Winter just around the corner. I love this time of year for so many reasons, one being it is the perfect weather for curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of freshly made chili and watching a football game with my family. Whether you are a Patriots rooting family like my household, or you choose to back a team from your own hometown or school, there is always a lot of fun and shared time to be had on lazy Sunday afternoons!

I love taco night at my house, so I thought why not create a yummy taco soup for lunch or dinner! It’s an easy, protein packed soup full of yummy flavor, plus it’s perfectly hearty and filling. It’s like chili but a bit soupier, and they can be related! Ha! Not only that, but it’s loaded with all the best taco style ingredients, that I know you’ll love as much as I do!

Candied Pecans - an easy recipe for Cinnamon-Sugar Candied Pecans! They are the perfect topping for salads, main dishes, desserts, or grab a handful for a snack! I have also gifted them at the holidays!

Salad recipes are my favorite way to showcase vibrant, in-season produce, which consist of fruits and veggies that are so good on their own that you don’t need to do much to make them into a delicious meal. This is The Best Salad + Strawberries & Blueberries Citrus Vinaigrette. The perfect salad for any time honestly, spring and summer is my fav! When it gets a bit cooler out, I like to simply brighten up our dinner table with a colorful mix of veggies and hearty greens. On long summer days, when it’s warmer out, I’d rather be outside than in the kitchen, so making summer salads are the perfect solution. They are so simple to toss together and incredibly delicious.

This one-pan chicken dinner requires only eight ingredients, making it perfect for busy weeknights. Meaty chicken breasts (or you could also use chicken thighs) roast on top of scallions and sweet potatoes until the chicken is golden and juicy and the scallions are tender and oh so sweet. Despite the short ingredient list, this dish delivers deep flavor and varying textures: The sweet potatoes on the bottom soak up the tasty pan juices, while the ones on top turn crispy. Any extra pan drippings get beautifully harmonized with maple syrup and thyme for a quick and satisfying sauce.

I needed a quick weeknight recipe to throw together and this Spicy Basil Chicken did the trick! It was super quick and simple to make, it tasted scrumptious too. I served this dish with jasmine rice for a healthy and delicious meal. I added spaghetti squash for the bottom of mine. Super yum. The best part of the dish was the fresh basil I added. My kids and husband loved and approved!

This time of year, happiness comes from hearty bowls of winter soups and stews.

Piping hot, with a rich home-style flavor, if the soup + stew combination doesn’t warm your heart, then I don’t know what will.
