Honeynut Squash Compote: A Happy Hormone Recipe

I love honeynut squash. It is a great source of fiber, really versatile, and extra tasty this time of year. It is great roasted, but I was feeling inspired to see how I could add even more nutrition. What I ended up with is a delicious compote that fits in with the sweet and savory crowd. By adding more fiber (apple and dates) and healthy fats (seeds and coconut flake), my satisfaction went up, my hormones remained balanced, and I stayed fuller longer.

Callie's Kotopoulo Yiouvetsi

At the first sign of a chill in the air, I love to bust out my dutch oven and make some hearty one pot meals. There is something so comforting about a warm, flavorful, homemade meal as the weather starts to get colder and this dish is even more special to me because it is Greek. (Fun fact: I am half Greek!) This delicious chicken and farro dish is packed with lots of flavor, nutrition, and it’s super easy to make. Try it out. Like now.

Eat the Rainbow: Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies

I love sheet pan recipes! First, they are pretty hard to eff up. Second, and more importantly, they are such an efficient way to fuel your body. You have protein + veggies + fat all in one pan. Just add a whole grain and you have a balanced plate in the time it takes to watch one episode of Queer Eye. There are endless possible combinations for sheet pan dinners but today I am sharing a vibrant chicken and vegetables recipe to help you eat the rainbow ❤️🧡💛💚.
