joyfalzoneweeknight sweet potato dal
No CommentsRead moreI honestly can’t believe I haven’t posted this recipe yet! It is one of my all time favorite, super easy weeknight meals. Packed with plant protein from the lentils and so many other benefits like cancer fighting, blood sugar lowering, and stroke reducing properties! The high fiber content in lentils prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal as well as lowering cholesterol levels! I’ve doubled the original recipe from Laura because my husband and I are big eaters and we like to have leftovers. If you’re wondering if you can skip the leeks, DON’T, they really make the dish! Plus, leeks are great prebiotics which feed the good bacteria growing in our guts!

joyfalzonenot sad desk (or sahm) lunch
No CommentsRead moreOne of the things I love most about traveling is being inspired by the food! On my recent trip to Hawaii one of my friends told me about a great take-away place in Kona called Laulima Food Patch. If you are visiting the Big Island you must go there – they have awesome whole food bowls for breakfast and lunch. We stopped there as much as possible on our trip. I ordered their “wholey protein” bowl twice because the green goddess dressing was amazing! They used a buttermilk base so I decided to recreate a vegan version at home. This dressing will make any salad taste better!

joyfalzonespiced sweet potato smoothie
No CommentsRead moreIf you’ve been following me on Instagram for a while this recipe might look familiar. I’ve shared it before as a pumpkin pie smoothie but today I am using sweet potato instead. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A. This smoothie alone will supply you with over 100% of your daily value! The bright colors of sweet potatoes come from antioxidants which are anti-inflammatory and possibly even lower the potential risk of heavy metal exposure.
