Eggplant and mushrooms are the perfect vegetables to sub in place of meat. They are hearty, hold up in cooking and both have a rich, savory flavor. This is a really light and lean recipe when you are craving some Clean Eating after the weekend. Spaghetti squash is really easy to prepare and lends itself to any sauce with it's mild flavor.

Here's a lower carbohydrate version of the more traditional
Shepherd's Pie. Cauliflower steamed and blended to a deliciously smooth consistency is a great potato alternative. I bumped up the savory by using grass-fed ground beef and lots of aromatic seasonings. A great option for dinner any time of year, but especially on a chilly Fall or Winter evening. Click over to

I struggle with breakfast most days. My hubby typically makes breakfast for the kids or helps them make their own before he leaves for work. Awesome, I know! I'm usually just grabbing whatever is leftover, some cereal or a Greek yogurt. These sausage patties are an easy go-to and they are high in protein and big on flavor. Because you make them yourself and can control what's in them, they are a healthier alternative to store-bought patties. Make a big batch and freeze them. Click

This is an ultra flavorful and ultra light dinner recipe, perfect for getting back on track after a long holiday weekend of eating all the foods. I love to serve this with gluten-free pasta for my growing boys and hungry hubby or over zucchini noodles, which are really tasty and light. These meatballs are also super fun served as an appetizer or party food with a small dish of warm marinara sauce on the side. MMMmm. Just stick a toothpick in them and you're ready to serve.

Bruschetta is one of my most favorite flavor combinations. In an attempt to lighten up the carbs and transform this into a staple rather than a once-in-awhile-treat, I had the idea to pair all that delicious Italian flavor with some smoky grilled chicken instead of the standard stale bread. Suddenly a carb-heavy appetizer becomes a satisfying, yet light entree. Click over to

Creamy Tomato soup, a comforting and delicious idea for dinner tonight. Low in carbs at just 8 grams per serving but still creamy and decadent.
