Healthy Whole Wheat Shrimp Pasta with Kale Pesto: My Diary of Us

Healthy Whole Wheat Shrimp Pasta with Kale Pesto

Thanksgiving is over...did you make it through?  Are you still in stretchy pants?  Because it's totally okay if you are.  If you had a week anything like mine, you are probably trying to get back on a the healthy diet bandwagon (if not for only a few weeks before Christmas) and are looking for recipes that aren't lacking in the flavor department.  My healthy whole wheat shrimp pasta with kale pesto is just the kind of one pot meal that will have you forgetting that you are eating something completely good for your body.

I love anything that I can make in one pot these days.  Less clean up??  Heck yes, I am in.  These days nobody has time to waste washing a bunch of pots and pans in the kitchen after everything else going on in life!  Besides the whole one pot deal, we love pesto in our house and this new take on a classic using kale and pecans is the perfect fall version that will have your tastebuds doing backflips.

I promise this is the perfect recipe to get all the nutritious greens into everyone in your house's tummies without having to beg and plead!

It’s #nationalmalbecday and you know I have to celebrate a holiday where wine is involved so I partnered with @zevia to being you a Spiced Kalimotxo (traditionally made with a combo of cola and red wine but I added a little twist 😉) perfect to sip on your patio all summer long!  @zevia Cola has zero sugar, no caffeine, and no artificial coloring, which makes it the perfect beverage to add to this cocktail! 🍷🍊Recipe is below ⬇️! {sponsored}

Here’s our dinner, shot with an iPhone (6 not 10), no styling, no fancy plating...just like I used to do back in the day.  I wasn’t going to post it, but honestly it was so dang good I had to!  Simple meals, especially all cooked on the grill, are my absolute favorite. 🙌🌽🌱 Fresh Wild Caught Cod, Asparagus and Corn, seasoned simply with salt and pepper and a little dill, lemon, and butter for the fish...👌
.

(And Parks ate exactly the same meal including two servings of asparagus!👦🌱)

Re-vamped my work space last week while my mom was in town, took a bit of a break and just enjoyed our time together, and this morning I’m waking up feeling refreshed and ready for a new week!  The sun is shining today and later in the week I’m headed to LA for @indulgeconference ! 👯‍♀️ Happy Monday y’all, let’s do this! 👊😘
