Italian Turkey Crockpot Meatballs

I know this site is usually dedicated for more vegetarian friendly foods, however I do make these for the two non-vegetarians in my household - my hubby and 18 month old daughter. They both LOVE these and I make them quite frequently. So while I hesitated posting to keep this site very vegan/vegetarian/flexitarian friendly, I do like to add foods that I DO actually make for others and this is one of them.

Crockpot Mahi Tacos

Anytime I eat Mahi I think of the Caribbean. Maybe because I had my first Mahi that I caught after deep sea fishing in the Bahamas years ago. I watched the whole process beginning to end and I guess I came up with an appreciation for the fish more than other fish. I also love the taste, especially fresh caught!

This brings me to my current dish and why the heck did I decide to make it in a crock pot? Who knows. All I know is that it turned out amazing. So juicy. The perfect consistency and all around perfect moisture level.

Simple Creamy Broccoli "Cheese" Soup (V, GF)

This particular dish I set out to do a Broccoli “Cheese” Pasta for my baby and family and I had zero time that day as I was teaching all day. I threw everything into the crock pot and let it cook until I go back. Originally I had planned it to cook for about 2-3 hours but it ended up for cooking for more like 4. So what I came home to was virtually a soup at that point. Good news it was SUUUPPPEEER creamy and really tasted like soup!

A few nutrition facts about what I used. I used a chickpea pasta which is here and it is packed and it looks and tastes like pasta if you’ve never tried it! Gluten Free, Vegan, simple ingredients and protein packed (25 G for 4 oz cooked pasta)! 4 Servings in a box and that is pretty much what the total recipe below makes up.

Savory Plant Based Bowl Ideas

owls as you probably know by now, if you follow me on social media, are a favorite and huge staple in my diet.  I think I just love them because I really got into the macrobiotic diet a few years ago and really liked the structure and bowls were a huge thing.  I find it really easy to get creative a piece meals together in a very nutrient dense way!
