joyfalzoneroasted cauliflower 3 ways
No CommentsRead moreCauliflower is probably one of the most overlooked vegetables and has been given a bad rap since the only way our parents knew to cook it was steam it in a pot, bleh. I distinctly remember the cauliflower being the only thing left on the crudite platter at every single family gathering, so it must be gross right? Turns out, it is delicious if it’s roasted! I could literally eat an entire roasted cauliflower in one sitting, it’s that good!

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.

joyfalzonekale & brussels slaw
No CommentsRead moreToday I’m sharing my new favorite salad with shaved brussels sprouts. I have been obsessed with eating raw shaved brussels ever since this recipe came out in 2009. If this concept is new to you I know you’re skeptical, but believe me this is delicious and I’ve had a handful of people ask me for the recipe since I’ve been bringing it everywhere with me! There’s not really anything healthier than eating raw cruciferous vegetables so why not make them taste amazing!

joyfalzonevalentine’s day beet soup
No CommentsRead moreI’ll be honest; I’m not one to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Roses and chocolate and a rushed dinner at a packed restaurant aren’t my thing. Ok, well I wouldn’t turn down ranunculus and organic 80% dark chocolate but I’d rather have it on a random day than a commercialized holiday. I am however, always for a nice relaxed dinner at home and I’m sure many of you are too, especially those with littles who can’t get a sitter. So if you’re staying at home with your love, here’s a delicious, festive (make-ahead) recipe that makes a lovely first course.

joyfalzonewinter salad with blood orange & avocado
No CommentsRead moreAs if the power of whole foods on their own wasn’t enough to excite me, there are some amazing studies being done on the synergy of food! Hort Research in New Zealand did a study showing that if you combine berries and chocolate, you absorb three times the amount of antioxidants than if you were to eat those two foods separately. Today I want to specifically talk about how adding healthy fats to a salad can boost your carotenoid (antioxidant) absorption.
