Basil Chicken Over Fresh Greens and Asparagus…
Greek Greens…
Greek Greens are great on their own sautéed in some olive or coconut oil, but for a more ethnic flair, this is a great variation. This recipe is Core Plan and Advanced Plan approved.
Grain-Free Cauliflower Tabbouleh…
Try this wheat- and grain-free way to make tabbouleh! Enjoy all the spices and flavors of this mediterranean side dish. It’s the perfect appetizer for entertaining. Serve as a salad or even as a dip for vegetables. Not only is this delicious, but it is very supportive in the detox system of the body, as it’s made with ingredients like parsley, lemon, cilantro, and other raw veggies.
