Straight from my dear friend Kelly’s cookbook, Superfood Weeknight Meals, these mouth watering tacos will be your new favorite meal, any time of the day!
You know those people that you have in your life that just get you? Even ones that you don’t see all the time?
My friend Kelly from Nosh and Nourish is that person.
Kelly and I have only met in person a handful of times in person at different press events and conferences. We’ve been together in the mountains of Seattle, sipping wine in Napa and ate our way through the Windy City. And every single time we get together we just laugh and have a great time.
Kelly lives in Colorado and I live in New Jersey so although we don’t get to see each other, we are still the best foodie friends. So you can see how excited I was to get an advanced copy of her new cookbook, Superfood Weeknight Meals. I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous pictures and fabulous recipes, I mean what could be better than healthy, nutritious recipes that can be ready in 30 minutes?
Kelly covers all of these Superfoods in her cookbook:
- Avocado
- Cauliflower
- Citrus Fruits
- Almonds
- Quinoa
- Olive oil
- Eggs
- Lentils
- Sweet Potatoes
- Spinach
And guess what? This recipe contains 5 superfoods in just this one recipe!
There are so many recipes I can’t wait to try but once I saw these Sweet Potato and Egg Tacos, I knew I had to make these first!
But let me tell you, I already know I am making the Chicken Pesto Zoodle Soup, Black Bean and Lentil Chicken Chili and the Rainbow Chopped Salad ASAP!
This book would be a perfect gift for someone starting their new year off HEALTHY! Just saying…
I just adore my spiralizer and I have never roasted my spriralized veggies before. I usually sauté them but I love the way them came out this time. I will definitely be roasting them again!
I absolutely LOVE all of the flavors in this recipe, especially the citrus in the guacamole! Who would’ve thought to add orange to your guac? That Kelly is an absolute genius I tell you!
You must make these ASAP!
