I love pasta, and this is a meal I must make again. Eat this a few hours before a big workout or a sports match of any kind and you are set!!! Read the following ingredients to make your taste buds explode!!

Ingredients: Sfoglini organic hemp pasta, Bella Terra San Marzano organic diced tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, saute the shallots in the pot, then add diced garlic, then the tomato sauce. Simmer on low, add in a little organic oregano, organic basil, sea salt, and then some light cream.

If you ever crave a burger without meat, this is a must try!!! First time making it and I can proudly take all the credit for crafting together this meal. This dish will leave you feeling very energized and fill you up with tons of great nutrients.

Ingredients: Organic black beans (drained and also bake at 325 degrees F to dry the beans out a little bit, removing this excess moisture will make the burger less mushy), organic red bell pepper, cilantro, yellow onion (just a little), 1 organic egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried chipotle pepper (soak the dried pepper in hot water for a half hour to soften up and only use a little depending on how spicy). Mix all ingredients in a bowl, saute in a pan with extra virgin olive oil. Served with Ithaca Cold Crafted hummus (fresh lemon dill flavor), wheat-berries, and quinoa.

Ingredients: Seared pork chops covered in olive oil, salt, and fresh ground peppercorns using a mortar, after pork chops are seared, in same pan add in the vidalia onions with extra virgin olive oil. Midway through onion browning process, add in butter and diced up rosemary. Add more salt and fresh ground peppercorns. Lastly, add light cream. For carrots and potatoes, toss in a little canola oil, spread on a pan and bake until done.
