This the season to be jolly! Holidays are my favorite time of the year and I usually celebrate them by gifting edible treats to my loved ones. It’s a beautiful way to express your love, to show you care about their happiness and their health. These work great as stocking stuffers, Secret Santa gift exchanges, holiday potlucks, and a healthy garnish over salads and entrees for your holiday dinners. Protein-rich, Paleo, vegan, and low carb, they satisfy everyone’s craving for that sweet something that matches their holiday spirit!

This is a very simple but very delicious protein-packed recipe that I have made multiple times as an after-school snack, quick dinner, and even as an appetizer for small gatherings.

One Frankie is packed with 10gms of protein and it is so yummy one can easily eat two of these and the best part is there is no guilty feeling involved as all you are eating is protein and lots of fiber!

Butternut Squash Soup - a Fall Favorite

Butternut Squash soup is a very comforting warm soup to be had on cool night. With coconut milk, carrots, and orange bell peppers this soup is very nutritious and easy to make. In the Instant Pot, it takes only 10 mins to make.

My husband who isn’t an avid soup lover has this one by the bowlfuls. It’s just that delicious. You can add all the orange vegetables that Fall offers and make this delicious soup at home. The best part is it gives you all your vitamins A, C, and carotenoid requirements for the day. Isn’t that awesome!

This delicious butternut squash soup is also great when used as a base for other dishes – try it with pasta or pearl barley thrown in.
