Top 5 Pinterest Recipes

Since there are a ton of delicious recipes on Pinterest, and many of you ask about our meals, I thought I would share my top five no-fail Pinterest recipes.  

Baked Salmon with Zucchini Noodles -via Eat Spin Run Repeat 

This recipe is done with a creamy dill sauce which is tasty, but if you are pressed for time you can simply sauté your zucchini noodles with olive oil, a dash of lemon juice and sea salt. 

Slow Cooker Green Chile Shredded Beef Cabbage Bowl -via Kalyn's Kitchen

This slow cooker shredded beef is so easy to make.  If you do not have cabbage or time to make the dressing, simply serve it over broccoli slaw with a dollop of your favorite salsa, in lettuce wrapped tacos, or over cauliflower rice. Here's my version. 

Pesto Salmon and Italian Veggies in Foil -via Cooking Classy

I love making these foil wraps, though in my case I prefer to skip on the tomatoes and instead add chili flakes like I did here. You can also substitute the green beans for asparagus or zucchini.   

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash -via Closet Cooking

I used this recipe as my inspiration, and have yet to follow it as indicated, but I am certain it is mouthwatering!  If you have time to make your own enchilada sauce do it, but if you do not, don't feel bad use your favorite store bought enchilada sauce.  No judgement here.  Here is my version.   

Broccoli Slaw Breakfast -via Popsugar Fitness

Last but not least, my absolute favorite easy meal always involves broccoli slaw.  It is a staple in our home, and I cannot live without it.  I love it like this, but I also like to sauté it, add it soups or to any meal that needs a little crunch. I think it is super versatile and underutilized.   

If you are interested in creating a menu using Pinterest check out this post as well. Once you master your few favorites, it becomes much easier to mix it up and make any recipe your own.        

Do you have a favorite no-fail Pinterest recipe? I would love to hear what it is, please share. 

Egg Roll minus the Roll

This is the easiest dinner recipe ever, and especially if you are craving Chinese food, but need a healthier option. 

Egg Roll minus the roll

1 bag of Shredded Cabbage (Coleslaw)

4-5 stalks of celery

1 bunch of Green Onions

*Sesame oil

Chinese Five Spice

Granulated Garlic

*Chicken Breast chopped

The first thing I prepare is whatever protein I want to add.  Last week, I grilled up some *chicken breasts.  I have also prepared this meal with ground turkey and with shrimp which are equally delicious.  

First cook your protein of choice.  I grilled two chicken breasts, chopped them and set them aside.  

Next, sauté the celery with a dash of sesame oil (if you do not have sesame oil or prefer not to use it, you can use any other oil and merely amp up your spices).  

Once your celery is translucent, add all of the cabbage and about 2 tbsp of sesame oil, 1/4 tbsp of Chinese Five Spice, 1/4 tbsp of granulated garlic and any other spices you would like to add (i.e. onion powder, ginger or chili flakes).  I keep ours pretty simple because my daughter Luna likes it too.  When the mixture is almost all the way softened, add the green onions. 

Once the mixture is done I add the grilled chicken, ground turkey or shrimp.  My husband and I both enjoy this dish topped with Sriracha. For my toddler, I served hers on its own with a side of chopped apples.

Enjoy!
