10 Healthy-ish Recipes to Make this January

Posted January 4, 2019 by Stephanie

1. Sweet and Sour Vietnamese-Style Hot Pot– everyone can cozy up at the dinner table and cook loads of veggies and lean proteins. If you skip out on the noodles, it can even be carb free. Pro tip, if you noodle-y like things but don’t want the carbs, try shiritaki noodles. They’re made out of konjac yam and they’re practically zero calories, so if you’re looking for a noodle alternative, give them a try.

2. Cacio e Pepe Cauliflower Gnocchi – This is still my favorite way to have Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi. Super simple to pan fry and toss with some parm and pepper. And the whole bag is only 330 calories! I mean, you’re gonna add some calories with the parm and butter, but it’s still pretty good.

3. Crispy Pan-Fried Tofu – Give me ALL the tofu! This doesn’t use a lot of oil and the result is super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside tofu perfect for all those random salad/buddha bowls you’re going to be making this year.
