Zucchini Leek and Chevre Tart in Wild Rice Crust

This tart is truly fit for a Queen. The decadent flavors from whole natural ingredients have this dish overflowing with nourishment and satisfaction.

The wild rice crust gives you another way to enjoy this whole grain! The high fiber and protein content, paired with the fat from the butter and eggs makes this meal well rounded so you stay satisfied longer!

The zucchini has many nutrients to offer such as vitamin C and potassium and it’s high in fiber to prevent blood sugar spikes. If you don’t have zucchini on hand, you could always substitute in a host of other chopped or grated veggies and create a whole new flavor combo with just as much nutritional value.

Mushroom and Barley Soup

Adding grains to a soup is a great way to stretch your budget, creating a fiber-packed bowl of warm and steamy goodness.

Barley is a great source of both soluble and insoluble fiber to help lower cholesterol, promote good digestion and lower blood sugar levels. It’s also loaded with B vitamins and minerals to give you the energy to power through your day!

This dish’s other star, mushrooms, are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help strengthen cells all over our bodies. Mushrooms have also been found to have anti-inflammatory powers and can even be found to help prevent respiratory infections. Regardless of all the health benefits these mushrooms have to offer, you will want to eat them all up anyway just because how amazing they taste cooked in this soup!

Millet and Cauliflower Puree

Love the taste of mashed cauliflower, but need just a little more when it comes to the satisfaction department? This dish features the addition of millet to add extra fiber and antioxidants to help you lower your triglycerides and reduce inflammation. It’s a grain rich in magnesium and manganese, two important nutrients that easily become deficient, and play an important part in many vital roles, including relaxation, and blood sugar management.

Cauliflower is loaded with Vitamins C for strong bones, skin and immune system. It’s also rich in folate which is good for brain health and reducing the risk of dementia as you age. Cauliflower is known to be one of the better sources of choline to help increase metabolism and reduce cholesterol.

Heavy cream and parmesan finish off this recipe for a creamy texture and flavor while adding additional protein and calcium for strong bones and muscles.
