Coach Bailey has been wanting to make shaksuka for some time and decided to put a little twist on the classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dish using some of her favorite ingredients.

Sprinkle some cracked pepper on eggs, and once cooked, top with scallions, avocado, cherry tomatoes, feta and cilantro. Dip with your favorite chips! We suggest using Siete  grain-free tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Yes... you read that right, cauliflower gnocchi. This is a semi-homemade meal thanks to Trader Joe's! Trader Joe's has frozen cauliflower gnocchi and it is the biggest hit not only with us, but most people all around the nation. It has the perfect texture and with the right sauce, taste exactly like traditional gnocchi. We used coach Bailey's homemade pesto sauce and it was perfecccttt. Great for a side dish to any meal or to have by itself with some extra protein of course!

We pan sear the gnocchi with olive oil until cooked through and slightly crisp on top. Trader Joe's directions say to boil. We find it is much better pan-fried!

INGREDIENTS for Pesto:
cup raw walnuts OR pine nuts, almonds, pecans or pepitas.
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves (about 3 ounces or 2 large bunches)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
