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.

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?…

Goat Cheese Salad with Maple Poppyseed Dressing

Is it completely cliche that my first post after the New Year is a salad? It is, isn’t it?

What can I say, I’ve always been a bit predicable… And while I certainly can’t say I’ve eaten 100% clean since the start of the New Year, I’m determined to get back on track…

Crustless Caramel Apple Pie – Gluten Free

Please forgive my recent absence! Josh’s parents came into town for the weekend to celebrate his birthday {the big 30!} and I had my hands full preparing for their arrival! I am so blessed to have these two wonderful people in my life, and honestly they would be happy to visit even if the house was a mess and there was nothing other than milk and cereal to eat…

Chickpea Apple and Avocado Salad + Picnic / Hike

After church on Sunday, Josh and I quickly ran home, changed clothes, packed up some lunch and snacks and made our way to Percy Warner Park for a hike! I don’t know about you, but being outside and getting some exercise helps clear my mind and heal my soul. The trail through Percy Warner is not especially beautiful, being that it does not run along a creek, there is no bluff with a beautiful view, nor a glorious waterfall at the end…

Comfort Foods and Six Month Anniversary

As of Wednesday, Lemons and Basil is officially six months old! At times it feels as though it’s been much longer and others it feels as though I’ve just began. I can honestly say it’s been much-needed sense of distraction and comfort these past six months. I shared some personal things my family is facing in my last post, Vegetarian Spaghetti Squash Tacos, which explains a bit more the need for comfort this blog, and you, have provided…

Butternut Squash Soup with Fennel

As promised, I have a soup recipe for you! And just in time as the weather continues to get a bit colder.

A few weeks ago, I ate at Panera with my family. Typically I’m a complete salad girl when it comes to Panera, but being a sucker for fall flavored dishes, squash in particular, I couldn’t resist trying out their Autumn Squash Soup with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. It was very sweet, but overall, the flavor was wonderful. Intrigued, I looked up the ingredients online and saw it had apple juice, honey, and several other great spices…

Grain Free Apple Crumble Pie and Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Every now and then, we all need a little indulgence!

I make an effort to eat really healthy eighty percent of the time so that I can treat myself the other twenty percent. If you have not already figured it out, I have a huge sweet tooth. So when I speak of indulgences I am always referring to something sweet. And what better way to indulge during these lovely fall months than with this Grain Free Apple Crumble Pie and Salted Caramel Ice Cream??…
