Sweet and Citrusy Lemon Poppy Muffins

Once I perfected this recipe, I made it a few weeks in a row because I could not get enough of these delicious muffins! They taste like spring with a bright, citrus flavor and they are the perfect accompaniment to coffee or tea in the afternoon. These muffins are also delicious with eggs in the morning, or as a sweet bite after dinner. I guess they are really a yummy option at any time of day! I used all purpose flour to make these muffins, but I provided a few very simple sw

Also, one very simple swap makes these cookies suitable for both gluten-free and low FODMAP diets (see below), for those who need it.

Protein Packed Ziti

Easy Ziti with Beef and Veggies This pasta dish is a complete meal that can feed a hungry team, or serve as an easy #mealprep staple (so that you can cook once and enjoy leftovers multiple times throughout the week). It can be altered in many ways to meet your needs and tastes, but I like to use extra lean ground beef and a whole wheat or legume-based pasta for additional protein and fiber. Also, this dish sneaks in a ton of veggies that even picky eaters will love to eat! Pr

However, the best part is - I initially made this recipe with no dietary restrictions in mind and they taste like a traditional peanut butter cookie! So, whether or not you need to fol
