Buckwheat for Lunch

This is the perfect dish for those days when you are craving a warm meal. It is also a great idea to make if you have leftover chicken or meat. This dish consists of sweet potato, chicken, micro coriander, goats cheese, lime juice, spices, and cooked buckwheat. If you have never tried cooked buckwheat it is definitely worth it. I prefer buckwheat as an alternative to rice and sometimes even quinoa because it is much more hearty and I prefer the taste.

Easy Pasta Salad

It is recipes like this one that I love to make because they are fail-safe and they take practically no time at all! This pasta salad is a great lunch and last minute dinner and you can eat it warm or cold. If you ever need a last minute meal to bring to someone’s house this is a great option! It is healthy, super tasty and the ingredients are so simple. 

Microgreen Kale Salad

Who knew you could multiply the number of nutrients you are getting with one simple ingredient? Microgreens are perfect for boosting the nutrients in a salad. Microgreens are edible greens, harvested with scissors less than a month after sprouting (so they are not fully grown). It is said that microgreens have a much higher concentration of nutrients than the fully grown plant, some more than others, depending on the type of microgreen. I decided to use kale microgreens in this salad but you could also use micro broccoli, red cabbage microgreens, cilantro micros etc.

Healthy Breakfast Waffles​

Who doesn’t love waffles am I right? I think my new waffle maker is one of my new favorite tools in the kitchen because it is so easy and fun to use. I have been experimenting with lots of waffle recipes and this is by far my favorite. Not only are they a more nutritious waffle but they are also really delicious and filling for breakfast! 

Baked Sweet Potato Fries – Easy

I was so excited when I discovered how to make my own sweet potato fries in the oven. They are very tasty and so easy to make, plus if you make them in the oven yourself they are not covered in the same amount of oil necessary for frying. These fries are perfect to use as a side dish or healthy snack for the summer.
