| Hi friends! I hope you had a lovely week. It was literally 100 degrees here in Chicago for a couple of days and not gonna lie, it made me pretty excited for fall. I'm even sharing a little apple breakfast recipe with you but don't worry, I still have plenty of warm-weather meals coming your way. Last chance to make the Recipe of the Month! We're heading into the final week of August, which means it's your last chance to make these deliciously fluffy Healthy Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins and share them on social! Remember to head to this page to check out the recipe deets, prize, and charity.
Time to get cooking! I picked out 5 amazing, super nourishing recipes to carry you through the end of the month. Enjoy!
5 recipes to cook this week Breakfast: Spiced Zucchini Apple Baked Oatmeal with Cinnamon Vanilla Glaze Yes, I'm sneaking in the first of our fall apple recipes BUT it also has sneaky zucchini baked right in so it's truly the best of both worlds! This perfectly spiced baked oatmeal is freezer-friendly and the perfect way to start your day. 
Lunch: Grilled Carrot Arugula Salad with Fig, Goat Cheese & Avocado The team and I perfected this gorgeous salad last summer and couldn't get enough. It's the ultimate balance of sweet and savory with beautiful grilled carrots, dried figs, creamy avocado & tangy goat cheese. Such a great lunch or side dish. 
Snack: 5-Minute Protein Peanut Butter Energy Bites When it comes to snacking, energy bites are always the way to go. These ones are SO easy to make and taste just like a peanut butter cookie! 3PM hanger be gone. 
Dinner: One Pan Sazon Skillet Chicken Use up fresh farmer's market veggies (or any lurking in your fridge) in this delicious one pan meal. It uses my homemade sazon seasoning and gets topped with plenty of ooey-gooey cheese. Enjoy as is or with a little coconut rice on the side. 
Dessert: The Best Zucchini Brownies You'll Ever Eat Here's your friendly reminder that these zucchini brownies are rich, fudgy, and will be your new fav way to eat your veggies. They're grain and gluten free for the perfect healthy weekday treat.
