I love Chipotle! And I love their cilantro lime rice! I received a lot of limes from Misfits Market and I wanted to make a healthy Quinoa Side Dish variation of their cilantro lime rice. This Quinoa Side Dish turned out great and reminded me of Chipotle’s cilantro lime rice. This made me very happy! And a bonus is that this recipe is very easy to make. I made this recipe during a food prep session on a Sunday and was able to use this Quinoa Side Dish is a variety of meals during the week.
There is a baked feta dish that is my favorite appetizer at a BYOB restaurant in Old City. But that restaurant took it off the menu and they only offer it as a special on occasion. Ever since they took it off the menu, I have been trying to recreate this appetizer on my own. When making it, I typically would use pepperoncini peppers in it, as they do in the restaurant, but it never was quite the same as the version in the restaurant.
Food prepping on Sundays can be a lifesaver for me to keep us eating healthy for the week! I received a lot of poblano peppers and limes for Misfits Market, so I wanted to use them within a food prep session. I put together this Black Beans Recipe and was able to use them within a variety of ways during the week. They are very delicious and made for a tasty and healthy week of meals! Hope you enjoy these as much as we did and that you try them yourself for a food prep session!
This Quinoa Salad tastes so cool and refreshing, it is perfect for the Summer! Summer is prime time for cucumbers and tomatoes. A perfect way to enjoy those fresh summer delights are in this salad! This is also a perfect salad to make ahead of time during a food prepping session.
Do you ever have a surplus of veggies that you are not sure what to do with before they go bad? My favorite way to use a surplus of veggies, is to roast them and then make a Roasted Veggie Dip Recipe! In one of my Mistfits Market boxes, I had received a lot of organic squash, zucchini and peppers, so I figured that it would be fun to turn all of those into an amazing Roasted Veggie Dip Recipe! This one may be my favorite yet!
Who doesn’t love going to a Mexican restaurant and eating their homemade salsa?!? It tastes so much better than the kind you can get in a jar. This Homemade Salsa Recipe is healthy and delicious! It also happens to be oil free (it’s so yummy, it doesn’t need any oil at all!).

Zahav is one of my top favorite restaurants in Philadelphia! In the beginning of dinner, they give you an amazing spread of various Israeli salads. One of those salads is a Beet Salad. I never really liked Beets. I LOVE the Zahav Beet Salad! You can even buy the Zahav cookbook, which I did! The Beet Salad recipe is in this cookbook! The Zahav version in the cookbook uses fresh beets and a lot of salt. This Tahini Beet salad is a healthy spin of Zahav’s Beet Salad. It attempts to be easier (uses canned beets) and healthier (less salt). This salad will turn you into a beet lover! Try this recipe and try the real thing at the Zahav restaurant!

Who says snacking can’t be healthy? This Healthy Vegan Snack Recipe fulfills the need for snacking while keeping it healthy. It is delicious, healthy and will satisfy your snacking needs. You can make this Healthy Vegan Snack Recipe and pair it with pita chips, sweet potato fries, tortilla chips, carrots, or use it within a veggie taco.
Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
I used my Vitamix blender when I made this. You can also put garnish for serving as shown in the picture with chili powder and parsley (or you can use paprika and cilantro). If you cannot find the chipotle chili paste, you can substitute with the adobo sauce from the canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and you can even throw in a chipotle pepper for more spice and chipotle flavor if desired. But I do recommend the paste, since it is a great ingredient to have on hand.
You can even roast the veggies ahead of time, place in the refrigerator overnight and then finish up in the food processor the next day.
