Kelp Noodle Sushi Wrap

Image
I love the crunchy and juicy texture of kelp noodles. Instead of eating them in a salad, I thought I would create a sushi wrap with them. I also made another wrap using swiss chard and it was just as perfect. I think I ate probably 7 of the sushi rolls! Yum! Yield: 1 serving You will need: -1 1/2-2 packages of kelp noodles -1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes -3 chopped up green onions -1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms -Any other vegetables your heart desires -7-10 nori sheets Dressing: -6 tablespoons of tahini -3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar -5 tablespoons of lemon juice -1/2 cup of parsley/cilantro -6-7 tablespoons of water Directions: 1.

Continue this process until you are...

So every time we head to Cactus Club for dinner, I'm always scoping out their salads. The one salad that I'm sure you could all agree with me as a top contender would be their Bandara Salad. So I have to admit that this healthier salad variation was inspired by Cactus Club. I wanted to put a twist on the noodles and the dressing and I wanted to add edamame as the protein addition instead of the meat or any eggs.

Yield: 1 HUGE salad You will need:  Salad: -5 cups of Mixed Greens -1 head of Romaine Lettuce (chopped) -1/2 Red Bell Pepper (chopped) -1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper (chopped) -2 sprigs of Green Onion (chopped) -1 Carrot (grated) -8 Medjool Dates (pitted and diced up) -1 large Cucumber (spiralized to imitate the noodles) -1 small pint of Cherry Tomatoes (diced) -1 cup Corn -1 cup Edamame Beans Directions: Mix all the ingredients in a large bow...

Healthy Chocolatey Nut Blender Bread

Image
Another bread creation came up when I thought of making something a little sweeter like brownies. Also, I love how versatile oats can be and by using them in this chocolate bread loaf, I was able to omit any flour.

Preheat oven to 350 F 2. Blend oats to make oat flour 3. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend 4. Pour into parchment lined pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Turn off the oven and keep it in for another 10 minutes to become denser like bread *Add in any dried fruits, chocolate chips, or nuts for an extra kick *Smear peanut butter or chia jam on it like a piece of toast ...
