joyfalzonezucchini crudo with summer herbs
No CommentsRead moreEvery year since my husband and I have had a garden, I harvest our very first summer squash and turn it into thinly sliced crudo. I think eating zucchini raw is the best way to enjoy it. The recipe I’m sharing today along with this one from the archives, are my favorites! Simply slice the zucchini with a mandolin or ceramic slicer and top with olive oil, fresh lemon juice and handfuls of fresh summer herbs! It is a light, refreshing appetizer or snack perfect for this humid weather.

joyfalzonespring quinoa salad
No CommentsRead moreAs I’ve mentioned before, quinoa salads are one of my favorite dishes to bring to family gatherings or parties because they are easy, filling, healthy and delicious! If you are unfamiliar with quinoa (pronounced keen-wah), it is a gluten free grain-like seed that originated from South America. I love that it is versatile, easy to prepare and best of all is a complete protein; meaning it contains all nine of the essential amino-acids that our bodies need to thrive. Quinoa is also considered a valuable source of heart-healthy fats as well as packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients.

joyfalzonematcha mint smoothie
2 CommentsRead moreToday I’m sharing my first green smoothie recipe so far and a quick blog post because it’s been a crazy week. If you know me at all, you know I am a huge proponent of green smoothies. It’s such an easy and delicious way to sneak greens into your morning routine. It takes a few extra minutes in the morning and you can take it with you on the go. Also, I have never met a child you doesn’t love smoothies. If you’ve never had a green smoothie before, I think this is a good one to start with because you can’t even taste the spinach. If you’re a green smoothie aficionado you may want to add some kale or moringa powder to this one.
