Health and nutrition have always been important to me, but over the past several years, my knowledge and interest in food and how it affects our body has really expanded. So, with my love for cooking, organic produce, and whole foods, with my food blog Lemons and Basil, I hope to inspire you in your cooking adventures and journey of good health, the way so many other food blogs have inspired me!

Easy Lentil and Roasted Sweet Potato Taco Bowl

It’s that time of year where the weather here in Tennessee is constantly changing, some days are gorgeous and warm, while others are cold and rainy.

Heart Healthy Dark Chocolate Quinoa Bites

With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, I couldn’t pass up the chance to make these adorable and addicting Heart Healthy Dark Chocolate Quinoa Bites! They are a slight adaptation of my Dark Chocolate Bark with Toasted Quinoa and Nuts and full of nutrients, fiber and healthy fats!…

Kale Salad with Roasted Delicata Squash and Pearl Barley

Truth be told, I’m more of a spinach-kinda-girl than a kale-kinda-girl. I know kale is a superfood and what-not, but I find I just tend to gravitate to spinach… And I’m not entirely sure why. I think I’m just a habitual person. Every week I grab a 16 oz tub of organic spinach and another one that’s a spinach blend of some sort…

Vegan Lentil Curry Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Without question, I love this time of the year.

Without question, I love this time of the year.

Especially now with little ones and seeing the excitement in their eyes as they see Christmas lights for the first time, or bubble over at the thought of a LIVE TREE in our house! Reading Christmas stories at night, baking cookies to give to others, teaching them the joy to give and receive.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

I know, I know…you’re probably thinking the time for pumpkin bread has officially passed. And once again I’m late, which unfortunately isn’t all that uncommon.

Gluten Free Chocolate Oat Peanut Butter Balls

I’m so excited to have not just one but THREE recipes for you today!

Last year I had the honor of participating in Sprouts Bulk Bin Treat Exchange, where I shared my Grandma’s Gluten-Free Organic Thumbprint Cookies using many of their bulk bin items. I then shipped them off to two other bloggers while eagerly awaiting the arrival of each of their delicious treats…

Roasted Acorn Squash and Quinoa Power Bowl

My typical go-to after Thanksgiving is a salad – my body can’t help but crave something simple and nutritious. However, today I’m excited to share this Roasted Acorn Squash and Quinoa Power Bowl. I love quinoa bowls and how easily they adapt to so many flavors. This one is a new favorite, full of lots of flavor, nutrition and pure seasonal bliss!…

Healthy Chocolate Chip Fudgy Brownie Bars + Vegan

It’s crazy to think I’ve been blogging nearly four years already. In my head, the blog is somehow younger than it’s age. Perhaps because I haven’t grown it to all I imagined it to one day become. Or maybe because I haven’t been able to commit the time to it I had hope. Nor have I yet to start/plant the garden I dream of one day cultivating in our back yard…
