While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet with 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add to skillet the sausage and onion making sure to crumble the sausage up in small pieces while it cooks. Once the sausage is no longer pink in color and completely cooked, add spinach to the skillet. The spinach will wilt down within 1-2 minutes when cooked.

Italian Pesto Turkey Sausage Zoodles (PIN IT HERE)
Makes 2 servings



2 sweet Italian turkey sausage links (1/2 pound)
2 medium zucchini
1/3 cup pesto (green or red, but I prefer green)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Extra virgin olive oil spray to coat pan when cooking



Heat oil in pan over med/high heat and add sausage (remove from casings). Cook sausage and crumble. While cooking, use julienne peeler/spiralizer/zoodle maker to make "noodles" out of zucchini. Heat up oil to med heat in a second pan and once hot, add zoodles, flipping around while cooking for only 5-7 min or they will get too watery/flimsy. Drain off any liquid then add pesto, Parmesan and cooked sausage. Serve right away. Enjoy!!!

21 Day Fix Friendly: protein packed (meatless) salad!


21 Day Fix Friendly: protein packed (meatless) salad!


So, it's true... I like BIG salads and I cannot lie!!!! I mean, just check out that picture above and I dare you to tell me that a salad is boring! Here's what I love about 21 Day Fix: I can plan my meals out with perfect portions, knowing that I am giving my body exactly what it needs within each food group! It's been such a game changer for me and I can still have my Shakeology every day too! I know that I'm the healthiest I have ever been just by learning to eat right! It really isn't rocket science, it is just doing the right amount of the right thing!

Now, let's get to this beautiful salad...


I had already prepped and chopped cucumbers, tomatoes. and had hard boiled eggs pre-made. So, I got out some spinach, 1/4 avocado, my seed and dried berry mix (got it at Sam's Club! You can use any unsalted seeds such as sunflower seeds and pepitas with dried cranberries and/or blueberries), blueberries, plus the eggs, cucumbers, and tomatoes. I piled them all on my plate and then drizzled a little olive oil with balsamic vinegar. Perfection!


Because I am a recipe person, I listed it all out below. Enjoy!
