Zucchini + Potato Veggie Fritters (Gluten, Dairy, and Nut-Free)

It’s funny when I look back at some older recipes on this blog because I read my words about what was going on at the time that blog post was published, and then I am immediately flooded with memories from that era. Well, the time I am currently living in is the height of quarantining and social distancing for the sake of Covid-19. In the past 30-ish days or so, we have cooked every single meal (except 1) at home— which is truly a world record of sorts for any New Yorker. Right now is a time in which I’ve been playing Macgyver with the contents of our fridge + pantry most days, strategically using produce by the order in which they expire so that we don’t waste anything.

Butternut Squash Purée

Healthy, simple butternut squash purée.

That's all I was craving a few weeks ago, as you might've seen on my Insta. While I've shared my recipe for a butternut squash carbonara (w/sage-maple bacon!) before, I've never shared my super easy and quick recipe to throw together a delicious butternut squash purée.

This butternut purée is one of my favorite things to throw together on a weeknight because it doesn't require preciseness on cooking technique/spices or hovering over the stove, and it's also so versatile for the many different ways you can eat it.

Shaved Asparagus Ribbon Salad w/Lemon-Parmesan Vinaigrette

I've already waxed on about my trainer/nutrition coach love for asparagus in my recipe for balsamic roasted asparagus, so I'll spare you that chit chat here. Ahem, 5g protein per serving.
