It is always nice to have quick meals to fall back on during busy weeks! This is one of them for us. Pasta is easy because you can always keep noodles on hand in the pantry, as well as a prepared tomato sauce or canned tomato sauce + tomato paste to make your own (lower sodium) version! You could even have veggies pre-cut and frozen and/or the turkey pre-cooked and frozen to make it even easier and faster. Find whatever works better for you for a quick and healthy meal. If you choose to start fresh, it still barely takes any time to throw together! It's not only delicious, way lower in sodium than any pasta/sauce you could buy from a restaurant or a store BUT it also contains 2 full servings of veggies in each serving! Plus, it is gluten-free but you would never know! If you are vegan/vegetarian, you can follow the same recipe and just enjoy it with the veggies!  Servings: 8

I am always looking for a good salad dressing (either from the store or homemade). Salads aren't my favorite but if I can get the right proportion of ingredients and a delicious dressing then I do end up enjoying them. I don't like how a lot of store bought salad dressings contain a million ingredients, a ton of sugar and salt or just don't taste right. There are a few that I like but I definitely prefer to make them myself! I have made this dressing several times now and it is a winner :) We have used this on grilled romaine salads and most recently, a fresh summer salad with grilled shrimp. If you like cilantro and vinaigrette dressings, then you will love this!  Servings: 6

I am always down for a good cookie. Since I always have peanut butter on hand and it seems to make a good cookie base, I decided to create a new peanut butter cookie recipe. Instead of being flourless like some of my other cookies, I used a new gluten-free flour that I recently bought. I don't love it on its own because it does have a unique flavor BUT with the maple syrup, peanut butter and chocolate chips in this recipe, it is absolutely perfect! I initially bought the flour because it was a little healthier than some other gluten-free flour mixes - it is made out of beans so it has more fiber and protein than most other mixes, less calories and less carbs. It also doesn't taste grainy like I have found other mixes to be. These cookies are AMAZING. You can't tell they are gluten-free cookies (made out of beans nonetheless) AND they are super pillowy and soft. They are easy to whip up and I have already made them several times. If you want to try out a new healthy cookie recipe - you need to give this one a whirl!  Servings: 24

I love a good turkey burger. I do enjoy a beef burger every once in awhile but when I do, I prefer to get a specialty one out at a restaurant. When I make them at home, I usually choose to make them with lean ground turkey. These burgers are the perfect texture, flavor and density...you won't miss the beef! Make it a filling meal by pairing it with sugar snap peas and hummus.  Servings: 4

This is another of our go-to recipes when we don't feel like planning or thinking about what to eat. We normally have frozen chicken and rice on hand so those weeks where we don't want to put in much effort, we can still make a basic, healthy meal. This is a great recipe for a beginner cook or just for those busy nights!  Servings: 4

About MeI am a food loving, activity seeking health coach who resides in Franklin, TN with my husband and two sweet dogs (Lola & Penny). AllergiesI believe everyone should eat balanced and not cut food groups if you don't medically need to. All foods can fit in a healthy diet. Unfortunately, I have to avoid gluten and also limit myself with dairy, so my goal is to provide healthy, gluten-free/dairy-free recipes so EVERYONE can enjoy all foods, even if you do have to cut out certain food groups. My recipes are encouraged for everyone to eat, not just for those with sensitivities/allergies! Most of my recipes can be easily converted by using real dairy and whole-wheat in place of my allergy-free substitutes. SearchLooking for something specific?
