These Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are a perfect option if you are following a low carb diet or keto diet, as portobello mushrooms are low in carbs.

Vegan Stuffed Shells
This Vegan Stuffed Shells recipe is entirely plant-based, but it is so tasty that even omnivores would enjoy it. This recipe uses conchiglie pasta shells, but the filling will also work well in manicotti shells. Fun fact: The word “conchiglie” is derived from the word “conchiglia,” which is an Italian word that means “sea shell,” since the pasta looks like sea shells. Recipe Here!

Sicilian Zucchini Noodle Recipe
This Sicilian Zucchini Noodle Recipe is super easy to throw together in one pan in around 25 minutes. It is also a delicious way to eat your veggies and can be made vegan-friendly. If you are trying to reduce carbs, zucchini noodles or “zoodles” are an excellent option instead of traditional pasta. The zucchini noodles are created with a vegetable spiralizer. Still, if you do not own one, that is alright because you can often find spiralized vegetables in many grocery stores’ fruit and vegetable section. Recipe Here!

Grilled Pizza with Grilled Toppings

Grilled Pizza with Grilled Toppings is the perfect summery dinner idea! If grilling pizza dough on the grill seems intimidating and complicated, think again. It is actually fairly easy, and most of the time spent on this recipe is waiting for the dough to rise. The pizza dough is extra herby and savory thanks to the addition of our Journey Spice Co. Organic Pizza Seasoning. Recipe Here!

Chickpea Apricot Moroccan Tagine

This Chickpea Apricot Moroccan Tagine recipe is incredibly flavorful, especially since we use our Journey Spice Co. Moroccan Spice Rub. However, even if you do not own a tagine, you can still create this recipe. Traditional tagine pots, like the one we used for this recipe, must be cooked on a lower heat setting in the oven for longer than many other cooking methods. You can use a crockpot, dutch oven, or a stovetop version of this recipe. Just beware that every cooking method is going to have different cooking times. Recipe Here!

Italian Sausage and Kale Lasagna

This Italian Sausage and Kale Lasagna is the perfect comfort food any day of the week! Beyond the deliciously layered flavors in this recipe, it also incorporates nutrient-dense kale. If you are unfamiliar with adding kale to recipes, you should know that kale can be easily “hidden” in many recipes as it seems to incorporate well with many types of ingredients. This is a wonderful aspect of kale, especially when trying to please pickier palates and add more nutrients to the diet. We can say that this recipe is “kid-approved,” at least according to our picky kid. Also, like many recipes, you can easily make this plant-based or vegan-friendly by using plant-based sausage and cheese. Recipe Here!

Mediterranean Spinach Wraps

These Mediterranean Spinach Wraps make a quick and easy lunch or dinner. They incorporate so many healthy ingredients like spinach, avocado, sprouts, cremini mushrooms, and chickpeas to add some protein. Want to add more protein? These wraps are extremely customizable, and you can sauté chicken instead of the chickpeas, but just make sure to increase the cooking time if you are doing this. You can also add feta cheese if you are a feta fan. Recipe Here!

Pizza Quesadillas

Pizza Quesadillas might not be the most authentic Italian dish, but they are so delicious just the same! Pizza Quesadillas are also so quick and easy to make for a fast and easy dinner idea the whole family will love. No need to make an extensive grocery list for this recipe because you probably already have ingredients in your pantry and fridge to throw some delicious Pizza Quesadillas together. Recipe Here!
