Raise your hand if you ate waaaay too much pie last week and are totally ready to get back to your normal healthy eating routine. I know I can’t be alone here guys! It happens basically every year at Thanksgiving. While I have no regrets about eating all the things I love and only get to have once a year, it definitely is a nice reminder why I eat the way I normally do.

There are a lot of reasons why I minimize the amount of gluten, sugar and dairy in my diet daily – but the main reason is because of the way it makes me feel. After eating cornbread, pie, cookies.. etc, I felt sooo sluggish and icky. I took naps every day last weekend! (Something I never do!) Even though I know I should eat things that make me feel my best, during the holidays it is so incredibly difficult to say no to all the treats and indulgent food! (Especially when you’re crunched for time trying to check everything off your to-do list)

Whole 30 Turkey Bolognese Stuffed ZucchiniThat’s where easy dinners and meal prepping come in. During the holidays (and really any time of year) I don’t feel guilty about having a cookie here or there when I know I ate a really nutritious lunch, or I’m going to make a simple, healthy dinner like these Whole 30 Turkey Bolognese Stuffed Zucchini when I get home!

Whole 30 Turkey Bolognese Stuffed ZucchiniYou know I’m all about easy dinners. No one has time to fuss around in the kitchen when they have 7 million gifts to buy, a house to clean, cookies to bake.. etc. Dinner has to be yummy and easy! Pantry staples like this Jar Goods Classic Spicy Sauce are a must have for quickly getting something on the table without sacrificing on the flavor or quality of ingredients.

Their sauce has the same ingredients that I put in my own. Tomatoes, olive oil, onion, spices. Nothing weird. No high fructose corn syrup, no funky preservatives (yes – look at the back of your jarred sauce – you will be surprised by what you might find in it!) As someone who is Italian, I never thought I would eat jarred sauce. But as my life gets busier – sometimes I can’t make the time to do everything myself – and knowing I can trust a brand to make my life easier (and tastier) is so awesome! Once you try it – you’ll totally get what I mean!

Whole 30 Turkey Bolognese Stuffed ZucchiniWith the weather getting chilly, this is the perfect dinner to cozy up with.
