Some people show their love with gifts or words of affirmation, I show it with homemade pasta. I got this recipe from the blog The Clean Eating Couple. Liz, the owner of the website, has tons of great recipes, so if you haven’t already, you should definitely check her out. Cavatelli is the perfect place to start if you want to make homemade pasta. You don’t need any fancy machinery, just a simple pasta board you can get for $9.00 on Amazon. Enjoy!
This dish is seriously delicious! It’s hands down my favorite salad I’ve ever made. It’s simple and easy to throw together for a quick lunch and is perfect to meal prep.

They help protect against cancer and help with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. This salad will leave you feeling your best!
This viral feta pasta recipe did not disappoint! It’s delicious and so simple! I added grilled chicken and spinach for more veggies and protein. I will definitely be making this again! It’s an extremely simple way to make your own fresh pasta sauce while expending minimal time and energy. Next time I make this I’m going to add honey to the feta before baking it, I think that will add an extra element to the dish. Your measurements do not have to be exact here, if you use 16 or 10 oz of tomatoes that’s fine and if your block is a little more or less than 10 oz that is fine also, it’ll taste amazing!

Fun Facts:
Swordfish seems intimidating to cook at first. Even the name, Swordfish, is aggressive. But like most things that start off unnerving, it ended up being super simple. This was my first time cooking it and it came out bomb. It is important to add diversity to your diet and honestly, I couldn’t eat chicken or steak again. Some fun facts: Swordfish is high in protein, it’s a great source of B12, Zinc and Omega-3. Swordfish is also a good source of Selenium. I had no idea what Selenium was, so I did some research. Selenium boosts your immune system, is a great antioxidant, is important for thyroid health and may reduce your risks of certain cancers, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and it may reduce asthma symptoms.

I paired this with coconut rice and roasted green beans. It was satisfying and left me feeling energized all night. See below for how I made it!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Pat swordfish dry with paper towel. Season all sides of the fish with your favorite seasonings.
In a small dish combine 2 tbsps of butter or ghee with the coconut cream from a can of coconut milk. It’s around 4 tbsps of cream. (I was using a can of coconut milk for my coconut rice, so I had coconut cream on hand. If you don’t have coconut cream, just use butter or ghee.) Add your favorite seasonings to the butter and coconut cream mixture. Mix until integrated.
In a cast iron skillet (or any pan you can put in the oven) heat garlic and oil (avocado oil, olive oil or coconut oil) (don’t use canola oil, palm oil or soybean oil-that stuff is No Bueno). Once pan is hot but swordfish steak on skillet. Cook on one side for 2 mins if a thin steak or 3 mins if a thick steak. Flip steak. Add coconut cream/butter mixture on top of steak. Put pan in the oven for 6 mins if thin steak -8 mins if thick steak. Take out of oven, let fish sit for 5 mins and enjoy! What’s your favorite way to cook swordfish?! Let me know below!
