Sweet Potato “Pasta” Carbonara
Pasta Carbonara is a very different style pasta than most. Traditionally, it features spaghetti, bacon, cream, and eggs. This healthified version substitutes sweet potatoes for pasta and uses organic turkey bacon and organic eggs. This is a great nutrient-dense meal or side dish. You will be surprised how great the sweet potatoes stand in for pasta.
- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes, peeled and spiral sliced (you can use a spiralizer or julienne slicer)
- 3 large organic eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (or grated organic Parmesan cheese)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 strips organic turkey bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small head organic kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Boil a large pot of filtered water.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey bacon and cook, stirring often, until browned. Add garlic and kale and cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
Once the water has boiled, add the sweet potatoes and cook, very gently, stirring once or twice, until just starting to soften but not completely tender, (depending on the thickness 01 1/2 to 3 minutes.) Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain sweet potatoes. Return the noodles to the pot on low heat. Add the reserved water, scrambled eggs, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper; gently toss until evenly coated. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Loaded Cauliflower Chicken Bake
This recipe was inspired to give people a healthy dish to enjoy at their Super Bowl parties. It was so simple to make and was a hit with the family. It somewhat resembles a loaded baked potato but uses cauliflower instead of potatoes. It would be great to bring to any potluck or family event. If you are trying to avoid dairy, you can add nutritional yeast to the top instead of cheese.
• 1 head organic cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 tablespoon high quality paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (check ingredients)
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 package turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1-2 cups organic, grass fed cheddar cheese, grated OR 1 cup nutritional yeast
•1-2 green onions, chopped
Mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder and hot pepper sauce together in a large bowl. Add cauliflower and chicken and mix until everything is covered with the spice mixture. Put into a large glass baking dish and cook at 425 degrees for about 40 minutes. Top with grated cheese and bacon and place back in the oven until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
