    Instant Pot PB&J Oatmeal

    Oatmeal is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber which can lower blood glucose, lower cholesterol levels, and it can reduce the risk of heart disease. This recipe adds a little twist by adding the delicious combo of organic peanut butter and jelly! This is a great recipe to make when you are getting ready in the morning because it is quick and easy. It is dairy-free and gluten-free too!

    Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore

    After awhile, chicken can get pretty boring, which is why I always try to come up with new recipes to jazz it up. Cacciatore (Italian for "hunter") is a traditional stew that was easy for hunters to make and eat to keep them nourished. This is a perfect Paleo meal combining chicken, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and herbs. This recipe is also gluten-free and dairy-free. The chicken is chock full of delicious flavor and is deliciously tender! Making this recipe in the insta

This is a great side dish to pair with any protein of your choice, or you can add in leftover chopped grilled chicken or steak to make it a complete meal.

    Watermelon is 92 percent water, so it is a super hydrating food to eat on a hot summer day. It is also low in calories and contains high levels of vitamin A and C, lycopene, antioxidants, and amino acids. Watermelon is great food therapy for the prevention of kidney disorders, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, impotence, heat stroke and macular degeneration.

    Cauliflower Tabouli Salad

    Lebanese food is super healthy, full of fresh flavors and delicious; however, the wheat and beans it contains can cause bloating and stomach discomfort, especially when you have food sensitivites. Luckily, I found a wonderful substitute to the bulgar wheat (the main ingredient in tabouli) - cauliflower! This recipe is full of fresh herbs and vegetables, making it a wonderful side dish to pair with chicken, lamb or beef. Tabouli is a vegetarian dish, and made with cauliflower

    Apple Walnut Fennel Salad

    With my organic vegetable delivery order, I received a giant fennel and had no clue what to do with it. After doing some research, I created this delicious recipe that I have made over and over again. Fennel has a slight licorice taste and pairs very well with apple. The health benefits of fennel include: improving and preventing anemia, treating indigestion, alleviating flatulence, relieving constipation and diarrhea, improving brain function, improving edema, regulating men
