Vegetarian Lentil Sloppy Joes + Mom Update

I don’t know whether to talk about these mouth-watering Vegetarian Sloppy Joe Sandwiches first, or about TIME and wanting/needing more of it. More time for me, more time for you, I think it’s safe to say that aside from us all needing a little more love, we need more time!…

Berry and Pecan Spring Mix Salad with Vinaigrette

Happy Memorial Day! I thought I’d be a little patriotic and share this Berry and Pecan Spring Mix Salad loaded with blueberries, raspberries and topped with a bit of goat cheese. Nothing like adding a little red, white and blue to our plates, to help remind us what this day is all about and the gift so many have given us in fighting for our country and our freedom. To those of you serving in our Armed Forces, or have loved ones who serve or have served, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your selflessness, bravery, and sacrifice!…

Blueberry Pecan Balsamic Vinaigrette

This Blueberry Pecan Balsamic Vinaigrette is another quick, simple recipe. After the overwhelming response I received to these Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps, in light of my initial hesitations and concerns that it wasn’t “good enough”, I now humbly realize that people like simple. Especially when simple can also be healthy!…

Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps

I know I sound like a broken record, but it’s no secret that I love sweet potatoes. I’ve also discovered over the last several months that I really love Mexican seasonings and use them in my cooking much more than I realized. Yet, I’ve delayed posting these Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps for a couple reasons…

Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs

Disclaimer: I was so enchanted by these Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs, I’m afraid they’ve demanded somewhat of a picture-happy post, so be prepared! But who could blame me?? I mean, zucchini combined with red peppers, sweet onions, flax seed, cashew meal, and feta, baked to a crispy perfection, then topped with honey lime chipotle sauce and a poached egg with its glorious runny yolk…

Cauliflower Alfredo Veggie Pizza

I knew I loved all things sweets and salads {come to think of it, that might have been a better name for my blog…off subject}, but I didn’t realize I loved pizza quite so much. Being that this Cauliflower Alfredo Veggie Pizza is my fifth pizza post in the short time I’ve been blogging, it’s becoming pretty clear that I adore pizza in all varieties…

Avocado Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Doesn’t ice cream on a Friday just seem appropriate? By the end of the work week, I think we all deserve a little ice cream, especially if we’re talking about this Avocado Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream! This ice cream is an adaption of my Banana Ice Cream with Peanuts, which is a tasty, yet healthy little treat I make for us from time to time. It’s not exactly low-calorie, low sugar, but it IS all natural and refined sugar-free, while containing no additives or preservatives like so many store-bought ice creams. Which makes it justifiable as healthy to me!…

Spiced Sweet Potatoes Ultimate Tostada

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

As promised, here is the full recipe for these Spiced Sweet Potatoes {Savory Waffle} Ultimate Tostadas! This is a continuation to Friday’s post, where I shared the recipe for these Gluten Free Savory Cornbread Waffles. I mentioned last week that while we were in Seattle last year we ate at Nero Belgian Waffle Bar {so good}, which largely contributed to the inspired behind these savory waffles. However, the other inspiration came when contemplating an alternative base for a scrumptious tostada outside of the typical corn tortilla…
