Welcome to my recipe page! These are some of my favorite lunch and dinner recipes and I love sharing them because they are easy to make, healthy, and delicious. I hope you enjoy :-)
Soba noodles are my favorite because they are a healthy alternative to pasta and they are delicious! High in protein and fiber, they help regulate your blood sugar levels because they slow down the digestion of carbohydrates. If you are gluten intolerant or allergic, these are perfect for you because they are gluten free! Other benefits include decreasing heart disease and stroke by helping to balance good and bad cholesterol. They are also the perfect prebiotic and help with your gut health.
