Whole 30 Spicy Chorizo Eggplant Bruschetta Eggplant Toasts are a great tasty entree that are filled with hearty, nourishing ingredients! Super easy to make!
How is the new year treating you? Have you been keeping up with your new year resolutions? My resolution this year was to clean up after myself, but you know it lasts maybe three days until I’m back to square one AKA a messy kitchen all day e’rry day. I know the majority of the world’s resolution is eating healthier, especially after a holiday filled with sugar, sugar and more sugar.
Some of you maybe lost to understand how to eat better, so let me help you out. I personally think that doing the Whole 30 challenge is a great idea to restart your diet. Don’t know what the Whole 30 diet consists of? you can read more about it here. To put it in short, it’s a stricter version of the paleo diet for 30 days. Basically protein + all the veggies💪💪💪
The Whole 30 diet is all about real, whole foods with none of the processed/artificial stuff. When searching for meat at the supermarket, it can be extremely hard to find whole-30 friendly versions that have no processed ingredients. Pederson’s Natural Farms is a company who is dedicated to providing superior quality, naturally cured bacon, hams, kielbasa, sausage, chorizo and more. Their products are certified humane, grass fed, made without the use of artificial ingredients or preservatives. No more dry chicken breasts and canned tuna😏
Don’t let the thought of the Whole 30 diet (or just eating healthier in general) scare you. There are plenty of delicious recipes that are made with whole ingredients like these bruschetta eggplant toasts!
I used Pederson’s Chorizo with chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil and spooned it on top of eggplant toasts. This is the first time I’ve ever had chorizo, and I am never going back because WOW it’s so flavorful😍 #teamchorizo
You can even have Pederson’s products delivered to your house via the Simple Grocer because convenience always wins😉
