These Gluten-Free Blueberry Zucchini Muffins are made with garbanzo bean flour (or chickpea flour – same thing) and so delightful! Naturally sweetened with honey, incredibly moist from the zucchini, and bursting with fresh blueberries, they’re perfect for Spring!..

10 Healthy Butternut Squash Recipes for Fall

The weather has been absolutely beautiful in Franklin/Nashville the last few weeks. Cool crisp mornings, a gentle breeze throughout the day, and gorgeous sunshine without the overwhelming heat and humidity. It’s been so reminiscent of Fall…

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…

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…

Purple Cabbage and Split Pea Power Bowl

This Purple Cabbage and Split Pea Power Bowl is not only full of color, but loaded with flavor and nutrition!

While I love to focus on clean eating here on Lemons and Basil, please know that my way of eating is by no means perfect, nor am I overly strict with my own daily eating habits….

Vegan Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry + Naan

As mentioned in my last post, I have several pumpkin and winter squash recipes in my queue ready to share with you. I had hoped to share this Vegan Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry months ago, shortly after my Eggplant and Quinoa Indian Fare, yet failed to do so…

Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprout Salad

Happy Day-After-Thanksgiving! I’m guessing you’re either still sleeping off a food coma, bustling about in prep for another celebration with Family and Friends, shopping all those black Friday sales {in stores or online}, OR putting up your Christmas decorations!..

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…

Savory Spiced Roasted Chickpeas

That’s right… I’ve officially jumped on the Roasted Chickpeas bandwagon, but who can blame me!? In my defense, I literally eat chickpeas in my salad every single day of the work-week. I buy at least one can of Trader Joe’s organic chickpeas/garbanzo beans every week if not more. So it was only natural that I try roasting these versatile, fiber-rich little legumes. For me, salads are all about texture and who could resist adding these Savory Spiced Roasted Chickpeas for a perfect crunch?? No more nutrient-lacking croutons!…

Kale and Quinoa Veggie Bowl with Soft Boiled Egg

To so many of you, thank you for your prayers for my mom and your kind and encouraging words regarding the blog. There was a time when I didn’t understand what a “blog” was, or why one would write one. But aside from the wealth of information people share through blogs, whether the subject appeals to a wide audience or is tailored to a more unique niche, it’s not only amazing, but also beautiful the way they allow people all over the states and even world, to identify with one another…

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!…

If you are a fan of the classic grilled cheese, but enjoy changing it up a bit, then this Harissa Avocado and Turkey Panini is for you! There is something so comforting about a warm grilled sandwich. Thick slices of your favorite bread toasted to perfection, smoldered with savory flavors and held together with melted, gooey cheese. So good…

Green Power Salad with Roasted Veggies + Mom Update

Have you tried the Balsamic Almond and Turmeric Dressing yet?!? If not, here is the perfect Green Power Salad to put with it! If you didn’t get a chance to read my last post, then let me quickly fill you in. I started out making this salad last Sunday, intending on mixing in all my favorites while attempting a new homemade dressing to go with it. However, the dressing took over, stole the show and got a post of its own! So now, as promised, I have the scoop on the salad that left my tummy happy and full, yet wanting more!…

So today, I decided to don my shamrock green in anticipation of the upcoming holiday while hoping the Luck of the Irish comes my way!…

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…
