My motivation for this Heart Healthy Turkey & Sweet Potato Southwest Chili was to deliver a flavor packed hearty chili.
You know the kind even your manly man will eat. But packed full of nutrients without extra calories.
Because let’s face it, most of us don’t need empty calories and are perfectly happy as long as we’re satisfied. This chili is definitely satisfying.

The ingredients in this Fig & Walnut Arugula Salad with Chickpeas & Gorgonzola play so nicely together.
Heaven on a plate!
While I haven’t always loved arugula, I’m a fan now! It’s quickly becoming my go-to green!
First off, it’s eats well. Do you know what I mean?
You can stick your fork into an arugula salad and more often than not, you’ll have yourself a pretty perfect bite! You can’t say that about every salad.

When I asked you all for fig recipe inspiration my sister-in-love immediately responded with “Fig & Mascarpone Pizza!”
To which I replied “Sounds amazing! Recipe please.”
So this Fresh Fig & Mascarpone Sweet Potato Pizza is my version of her recipe. She was 100% correct. The combination of fig, mascarpone, and honey is incredible! The sweet potato ‘pizza crust’ is like a match made in heaven!

When you combine bananas with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips what else can you call them but Chunky Monkey Muffins.
(thank you Ben & Jerry’s for that)
Be honest with me.
When you see {Gluten Free} is that a turn off?

Shredded Pork Tacos {with Chimichurri Sauce}.
I absolutely loved these tacos. Simple and delicious.
Flame roasted corn tortillas, shredded pork, sliced avocado, diced red onion, crumbled queso fresco cheese, and a spoonful or two of this fabulous Chimichurri Sauce.

I decided to jump on the band wagon and give Sweet Potato Avocado Toast a try.
Six times.
I tried six variations just to be sure and each was as delicious as the one before it.
I’m not sure if I’m more excited about having a gluten free option for Avocado Toast or all these yummy flavor pairings I came up with.

I’m now putting Roasted Golden Beet Hummus in my rotation! It is absolutely delicious as a dip, but wait until you try it as a sandwich spread!!
Oh my!
Roasted Beets are such a treat for me. While I love traditional red beets, when I find the golden variety I feel special.
Their sweet earthy flavor makes them the perfect salad topper, veggie burger binder, savory soup enhancer, and super creamy dip ingredient.

Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
Move over cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli is making a comeback in this house!
Oven roasted, crispy-edged, parmesan-crusted, lemon-zested broccoli is THE best!!
You can serve it as an appetizer (hello…roasted Brussels sprouts are on nearly every appetizer menu).
You should definitely make it your go-to side dish. And Crispy Roasted Broccoli is more than happy stealing the show for any vegetarian meal!
