Zucchini Pasta with Kale and Chickpeas

Credit: Nutrition Ć  la Natalie

Not only is this pasta dish made with intensely flavored sauce, but it's also gluten-free, vegan, low-carb, and low in calories. Oh, and did I mention it takes less than 30 minutes to make? If you need a little more substance, try adding chicken or fish on top. DO even more with your zucchini by making zoodles instead.

Bourbon Marinated Tri-Tip

Credit: POM Wonderful

"Pomegranate juice complements the flavor of the bourbon in this delicious lean beef dish," says Toby Amidor, M.S., R.D., nutrition partner with POM Wonderful. "A preliminary study at UCLA suggests that 100 percent pomegranate juice has, on average, more antioxidant potency than other commonly consumed fruit juices (like orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, and grape juice) and polyphenol-touting beverages including red wine, green tea, and açaí."

Grilled Vegetable Platter with Red Wine Tomato Jam and Dip

Credit: Avocado a Day Nutrition

This platter of grilled veggies proves that crudités don't need to be raw or boring (just like these gluten-free appetizers). Not only is this plate absolutely beautiful, but it also comes with a side of red wine tomato jam and white wine caramelized onion dip. Using a red wine blend in the tomato jam adds a layer of fruitiness and complexity to the dip, while the caramelized onion pairs perfectly with chardonnay to create a rich and luxurious flavor.

Bourbon Peach Jam

Most jams call for a ton of sugar, but this recipe is naturally sweet from the juicy peaches with just a few tablespoons of sugar thrown in for good measure. The bourbon gives it a nice tangy kick. Spread it on your favorite crackers or toast for a morning pick-me-up. (Try these Fancy PB&J Recipes That Are All-Grown-Up)
