This Vegan Butternut Squash and Cashew Salad is super simple, yet hearty and delicious. Which sorta covers the necessities when it comes to a salad.
Simple + Hearty + Delicious
I mean, no one wants to spend a lengthy amount of time on a salad. BUT, we do want them to be filling and tasty, right?…
This Easy Chickpea Pasta Primavera is full of Summer’s best veggies. Whether you prefer it cold as a side salad, or warm for the main meal, it’s sure to deliver in both flavor and nutrition!
This recipe has been a long time favorite of mine…
After visiting Vermont in the Fall of 2013, Josh and I don’t really do a Summer vacation anymore, instead we spend a week each Fall in New England. Most of our time has been spent in Vermont and Maine, but this Fall we took the little ones and stayed a week in Boston, MA…
Any cranberry fans out there? If so, these Gluten-Free Pancakes with Cranberry Apple Compote are for you! Bold in both flavor and color, they’re the perfect choice for a festive Christmas morning breakfast or brunch…
With the holidays come so many wonderful things – time with loved ones, traditions, festivities, reflection, giving, and food, just to name a few. And when it comes to the food, there is SO. MUCH. FOOD…
Occasionally…I listen to him. By him, I mean my husband. He loves this Spicy Sriracha Cashew Sauce, and suggested {more than once} that I designate a post to it and it alone. He made the same recommendation for this dressing and the outcome was fairly successful…
If you read my last post, then you know two things. First, I’m posting two cauliflower recipes in a row. Oops. Second, Josh and I found a house we really like during our rapid house hunt and were contemplating making an offer. So the update is that we now have a contract on that house {insert excited scream here}, and the home inspection is taking place today at 1pm. If all goes well we are scheduled to close in less than two weeks. Eek!…
There are a lot of pictures in this Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Mushroom Marsala post, and I guess part of that is to compensate for my lack of words. I said in this post that I wanted to be authentic with you, and the truth is, I’m heartbroken, discouraged and beat down. If you are new to Lemons and Basil, you can read about the trial my family is facing with my mom’s health here…
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!…
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!…
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…
This doesn’t look much like a Fudgy Flourless Red Chili Chocolate Muffin, does it? Because that’s the recipe I was planning on sharing with you. However, some times things don’t go as planned.
After church this afternoon I began preparing a recipe, what I’m calling, a Green Powerhouse Salad with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato. Although now that I see how long that is, I may have to revise it a bit before posting the recipe…
Okay, truth? I’ve never actually eaten Pad Thai. So, I feel like a bit of a phony, or at least a little unqualified, to title this recipe, Sweet Potato Pad Thai. BUT, like the straight-A student I always sought to be, I did do my research. And I think {fingers-crossed} that I have enough of the general ingredients needed to label this Pad Thai…
