Crab cakes are one of my favorite appetizers: I love them so much that I often make them a meal. These cakes are very light and incredibly tasty! They are great on a bed of arugula salad with fresh tomatoes and a squeeze of lime, or even in a burger bun! You can definitely get creative 😉
Another quick & healthy recipe to get you back on track after the Thanksgiving ‘shenanigans’. This salad is refreshing and a great combination of flavors: crunchy and light. If you need an additional intake of protein, you can add a hard-boiled egg, a can of tuna, or a grilled chicken breast.
Well well, given the fact we most likely all had a ‘little’ too much to eat over Thanksgiving, I decided to share my delicious detox soup recipe to get you back on track. A good way to replenish all vitamins and minerals, flush toxins out, and restore your body pH. These fresh alkalizing green vegetables full of potassium and antioxidants will rejuvenate your cells helping your detoxification and cleanse.
How pretty are these carrots?! Well, let me tell you something: they are not just pretty, they are “pretty delicious” too!

Keep it easy. Keep it healthy 🙂

You can definitely use the leafy greens of your choice: kale, spinach, collard, even cabbage. Enjoy! Continue reading “Nicole’s EARTHY WHITE BEANS & BEET GREENS SOUP”
