Crispy on the outside and soft in the center, these healthy, baked Sweet Potato Fries are crazy delicious and fast! All you need is oil, cornstarch, spices, and sweet potatoes.

We enjoy these fries with Air-Fryer Chicken Nuggets for a totally kid-approved meal or with my Baked Honey Mustard Chicken since both can bake in the oven in the same time!

Raise your hand, if you never say no to a plate of fresh-cooked fries! Me too! What if you could make a plateful of sweet potato fries that are actually crispy yet baked in the oven? Sign me up! These fries are so much better for you than deep-fat fried ones. They are also so easy to make and great to snack on or serve as a side dish. Perfect for light dinner and 100% kid-approved!

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce – turn cauliflower into a creamy and delicious sauce with the addition of roasted garlic and Parmesan! Skip the cheese for a vegan option.

One of our favorite pasta dinners is my Bacon Mushroom Alfredo. You can use this cauliflower sauce to make it too! Don’t forget the roasted garlic. It adds delicious flavor!

This sauce is a combination of two veggies I absolutely love: cauliflower and garlic. I grew up eating a lot of cauliflower. My Mom had a collection of recipes using this veggie and made them a lot. The smell of sauteed garlic is my childhood memory since my grandmother used it in almost every dish. I always have a jar of minced garlic in my fridge and now, roasted garlic cloves too. This healthy cauliflower pasta sauce is nut-free, gluten-free and is you skip the cheese, it is dairy-free. According to MyFitnessPal, one serving of this sauce is 118 calories!

Beet Smoothie

Beet Smoothie – a power-drink that’s packed with iron, Vitamins, anti-oxidants and gives your skin a healthy glow.

I make smoothies every day. My Avocado Smoothie is a favorite, along with the Vitamin C Booster Smoothie.

I am about to tell you to throw a raw beet into your blender and turn it into a smoothie. Berries – no problem. Most likely, they are already the basic ingredient in your smoothies. Same for bananas. But beets? Not so much. You may know how good beet juice is for our bodies, but it can be hard to drink. That’s why I created a concoction that is super simple (only 3 ingredients) but makes this smoothie absolutely delicious! The berries and bananas help to mask the earthy taste of beets. As someone that had anemia since my teen years, I drink this smoothie every week. It’s delicious and even the kids love it!
