Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet (with a vegan swap)

Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet (with a vegan swap)

There’s nothing that says ‘comfort’ like a warm skillet and when it comes to flavor, color and texture, this hits on all cylinders. My Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet from my book, Eat Like You Give a Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive, combines protein (you can swap a plant-based sausage like LightLife or Beyond Meat, or do tempeh), slow burning superfoods grain and veggies to the table in a meal that satisfies and literally brings itself together in the oven.

Grilled MedMex Salmon Pasta with Burnt Brussels Sprouts and Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce

Grilled MedMex Salmon Pasta with Burnt Brussels Sprouts and Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce

Salmon. It’s one of my favorite ways to get protein onto my plate. It’s got all those yummy essential fats and the flavor is so buttery it’s beyond. And when it’s paired with pasta, it’s even better! Yes, I eat pasta. This surprises a lot of people because they don’t consider it part of a ‘clean eating’ lifestyle.
