Sneaky Ways To Eat Your Veggies

January 01, 0001
I can be quite the carb monster, but I’m trying to cut back this year and make healthier choices—like sneaking in more veggies! These 3 recipes not only make up a delicious meal together, but they are also great alternatives to some of my favorite guilty pleasures (read: french fries and a giant bowl of pasta). Plus, they’re kid-friendly and easily prepped ahead of time. That’s a win-win situation in my book.

Zoodles

Cauliflower alfredo sauce

Creamy pasta sauce is one of the absolute best comfort foods, but it’s not the healthiest choice. This cauliflower sauce is the perfect answer to the creamy sauce I crave, especially when it’s used to top my zoodles. Full Recipe Cauliflower alfredo sauce

Eggplant Fries
