I feel like some recipes on Pinterest just look so good but not worth the effort but this one, while there was some chopping, was super simple and will definitely be a repeat in our home!

To start I got 

2 Avocados (try to use them when they're ripe but not squishy ripe)

2 vine ripened tomatoes 

1 cucumber

1/2 a red onion

1/2 a bunch of cilantro

2 tablespoons of olive oil 

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

A dash of garlic powder 

A dash of salt and pepper

Chop everything into bite sized pieces And put it in a big bowl

Then add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt & pepper and mix everything together!

And that's it!!

So easy, so delicious, so healthy and a great side to any meal or even great eaten on its own!!

But because we're all about balance over here we had ours with a nice oven baked pizza 😂

Delicious!

I don't know about you but I LOVE Mexican food. 

However there's a couple things wrong with it, the first being its made with a pineapple yoghurt , (I'm allergic to dairy) and the second being its $9 I just can't justify spending that much on a smoothie I could make myself. 

So I watched them make it one day and took note of the ingredients and after a little trial and error and replacing the yoghurt with a ripe banana I do believe I've made it even better. Actually I know I made it better, and the best part is I can make a weeks work of smoothies for just a few dollars more than just one smoothie from the juice shop!

The Ingredients:

Two handfuls of organic kale

One very ripe banana (the riper the better for sweetness)

And there you have it. A delicious, sweet and oh so healthy smoothie, perfect as the weather starts warming up!

Theo absolutely LOVES this smoothie, it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to start making him his own if I want to have some too HAHA

So if you have kiddos, whip one of these up and let them try it out!

Enjoy!!

As most of you know by now, I've been on a bit of a journey to becoming healthy!

I'm currently down 74 pounds which is great but more than anything I'm learning how to nourish my body with good, whole foods.

I came up with this recipe about 3 weeks ago and its now a household obsession!

The great thing about this meal is that it's very versatile. It can be made Gluten, Grain, and Dairy free (Which is how I eat it) but can also be made with all that yumminess for those in the family not on a restricted diet!

So without further ado....

Ingredients:

Pre made Ravioli

2 Vine ripened tomatoes

1 bunch of green onions

1/4 cup of sauvignon blanc

1 tablespoon of Extra virgin olive oil

1 package of Chicken or Turkey meatballs

1 package of broccoli 

2 tablespoons of alfredo (optional)

This is the kind of ravioli we use but any brand will work just fine

Start by boiling the water and cooking the ravioli according to the directions on the package

 

Wash your tomatoes and onions, then dice them

Heat your skillet on medium high

Add the olive oil, diced tomatoes, onions and wine and the alfredo (if you're not going for the dairy free option)

Guys, it will smell amazing!!!

Once simmering, add the precooked meatballs and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until meatballs  reach 165 degrees

These are the meatballs I use but any brand will work

While everything is sautéing steam your broccoli

Once everything has cooked Serve the meatballs and tomato sauce over the Ravioli or Broccoli

And Viola you have a healthy, satisfying meal than can be made for the whole Family!
