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 Beet Chips + Remembering My Mom

Things have been a little quiet around the blog lately. My goal had been to unplug a bit over the holidays and soak in every moment of Brighton’s first Christmas and enjoy our time with family. And that happened. But then some other things happened, too…

Pumpkin Cranberry Granola with Soy Nuts + Giveaway!

Today I’m teaming up with The Soyfoods Council and Healthy Aperture to bring you a #SoyInspired Thanksgiving! I am so thrilled to be a part of a #SoyInspired Thanksgiving for multiple reasons, but among those reasons is that it gave me the nudge to do some much-overdue research on soy and it’s potential nutritional value…

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…

Gluten Free Zucchini Chocolate Chunk Muffins

It’s Friday and I am SO very glad! We have entered into our “birthday season” between Josh’s and my family, and this weekend we will be celebrating my mom’s birthday. I can only imagine there will be both laughter and tears, and while the weekend will look different from the past, I’m so very grateful to have such a wonderful family, who will make the very most of the day and our time together…

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!…

Dark Chocolate Bark with Toasted Quinoa and Nuts

Well, this Dark Chocolate Bark with Toasted Quinoa and Nuts was not at all what I had intended on posting today, but after making myself nearly sick on it yesterday, because I COULD NOT STOP EATING IT, I decided that while it may not be pretty, it is AMAZING and I had to share this easy recipe! How’s that for an opening, run-on sentence? See what chocolate does to me!…

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!…

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…

Clean Eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs + Mom Update

I know, I know, there are a million of these peanut butter egg recipes floating around the web, some using the traditional powder sugar and chocolate candy coating, other cleaner versions made using coconut oil, maple syrup, cacao powder, etc. But really, if given the excuse to make a tasty, healthier version of these yummy peanut butter eggs, wouldn’t you jump at that, too? So add me to the bandwagon, and here are my own Clean Eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs!…

Chilaquiles with Chipotle Adobe Pepper and Avocado

After making these Chilaquiles with Chipotle Adobe Pepper and Avocado, I learned, if you’re looking for a way to track your favorite foods and see what you are naturally drawn to…start a food blog.

I never realized just how much I love Mexican inspired foods, or sweet potatoes, avocados, and chocolate. Okay, maybe I knew the chocolate. But when you see these same ingredients show up post after post you begin to realize you’re (I’M) maybe not as diversified as you’d (I’D) like to think…

Sweet Potato Waffles (Grain and Refined Sugar-Free!)

I’m sure by now you know I love me some sweet potatoes. But for Breakfast? Yes, please!

Josh and I recently went to see Sigur Ros, an amazing Icelandic band that he’s loved for years, at the Woods at Fontanel. While the show was absolutely incredible, we had to wait for a decent amount of time before we could cross through the gates and make a beeline for the front near the stage. SO, what better way to pass the time than to scroll through food blogs??…

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…
