This month The Recipe Redux, a large food blogger community that monthly posts healthy recipes around a theme, turns 5 years old. I joined this stellar group just a few months after its inception and have been reduxing for nearly that whole 5 years. It’s a little hard to believe it.
This group has played a very important role in my blogging career. I have learned so much about blogging, recipe development, photography and business from them. It’s safe to say that I would not be anywhere close to where I am now with MHE without The Redux.
Beyond just skills, I have gained some tremendous friends and colleagues from The Recipe Redux. In fact, some of them have become very dear friends that I talk to regularly. Since this month our theme is to share a fellow Reduxers’ (that’s what we call ourselves) recipe, I am going to introduce you to one of my blogging friends today.
Meet Kara Lydon, The Foodie Dietitian.
Kara and I met at a blogging retreat that was loosely related Recipe Redux. We quickly became friends and then shortly thereafter formed a mastermind group with 2 other dietitians. We have been good friends now for almost 3 years.
Kara is an amazing recipe developer and photographer focused on a pescatarian. {PLEASE check out all her beautiful recipes.} She is also a certified yoga instructor and just published her first e-book called Nourish your Namaste which is a must-have guide for any level yogi looking to make connections between yoga, health and nutrition. I attended one of her yoga classes in Boston back in March (thus the picture above) and I’ve been craving another class ever since. She is a magical teacher.
I really could go on and on about my girl Kara. She is just a beautiful person and I’m blessed to have her as a friend. But let me get back to her delish food.
Today, I would like to share one recipe in particular from Kara, her Zucchini Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Crema.
I know, they look delicious, right! Anyone who’s anyone (massive generalization there) has made some version of a vegetarian taco but this recipe helps you take it way up to the peak of tastiness. Kara is so good at creative approaches to everyday food.
I think you need to add this recipe to your dinner plans this week AND save this for when you have some veggie friends over and want to impress with more than just plain-Jane tacos. Get the recipe here –> Zucchini Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Crema
I hope you enjoyed meeting Kara and helping me celebrate the 5th birthday of The Recipe Redux. Be sure to check out all the other bloggers linked up below to find out who you should be following for more healthy recipes!
For the love of friends and tacos,
Jenna
