My family lived in New Mexico from the time I was just over a year old until I was ten when we moved to Murfreesboro, a suburb outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I grew up eating lots of Mexican inspired dishes – fajitas, tacos, quesadillas, taco salad, bean burritos, etc…

Cauliflower Quinoa Tacos with Black Bean Salsa and Guacamole
Apparently yesterday was National Doughnut Day…which I completely missed. There are so many national food days, how do people keep up with it all?! I’ll have to make it up to you and share a yummy donut recipe soon!
In the meantime, how about these amazing {vegan + gluten-free} Cauliflower Quinoa Tacos with Black Bean Salsa and Guacamole?!…
Sweet Potato Mexican Casserole with Roasted Corn and Black Beans
Planning a night in this Cinco de Mayo rather than heading out? I’ve got just the dish for you!
This Sweet Potato Mexican Casserole with Roasted Corn and Black Beans is bold in both color and flavor! And best of all it’s loaded with nutrition, yet low in calories, allowing plenty of room for some churro cupcakes, Mexican brownies, or fried ice cream!
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls
As a full-time mom, to a ten month old baby boy who is into e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g, meals that can be prepped ahead of time have become a must – which is why I love these Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls!…
Zucchini and Black Bean Veggie Tacos
These Zucchini Black Bean Veggie Tacos are full of summer ‘s best end-of-season harvest. Not only are they boasting in flavor and nutrition, but they are the essence of why I love partaking in Community Supported Agriculture {CSA}…
Loaded BBQ Pork and Veggie Sweet Potatoes
I’m sorry…come again, *Pork*? As in meat?! Yup, you got it! This is perhaps the second, maybe third recipe on the blog that calls for meat. Shocking, I know! I’ve mentioned before that Josh and I end up eating a lot of vegetarian meals, but we are not vegetarians…
Vegetarian Quinoa and Black Bean Nachos
Happy {almost} Cinco de Mayo!
Josh and I are on our Babymoon {so excited!} in Vermont, so I’m afraid this post is getting to you a little later than I intended, but I’m hoping there are a few of you out there still searching for the right Cinco de Mayo recipe, and this might be the perfect thing!…
Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps
I know I sound like a broken record, but it’s no secret that I love sweet potatoes. I’ve also discovered over the last several months that I really love Mexican seasonings and use them in my cooking much more than I realized. Yet, I’ve delayed posting these Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps for a couple reasons…
Seven Saint Patrick’s Day Recipes
I simply cannot let March 17th come and go without sharing seven Saint Patrick’s Day recipes that feature an array of greens threaded throughout some of my favorite, albeit experimental recipes. 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!…
Paleo Grain-free Pizza Crust with… Swiss Chard?
Let me guess, you’re thinking, “okay I get the Paleo grain-free pizza crust…but Swiss Chard? In my pizza Crust? Weird.” And maybe you’re right, BUT I have to say that this little creation turned out pretty darn good!
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Okra – Cleaning out the fridge!
What’s the old saying, “everything but the kitchen sink?” That sorta describes these stuffed sweet potatoes. I picked up my new CSA this week and in order to make room in the fridge, I wanted to finish up my remaining veggies from last week’s CSA. SO, out came the last eggplant, couple ears of corn and okra…
Eggplant, Sausage and Flax Frittata
I think one of my favorites things about my organic CSA…aside from the fact that it is local, organic, in season, flavorful, fresh out of the ground AND affordable, is that I am challenged to make dishes using whatever is in the box that week. I’ve had a lot of eggplant recently, and if you read my post Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Eggplant then you know that I’m fairly new to cooking and eating Eggplant…

Healthy Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Cloudy with a chance of rain, high 70. Sounds like perfect August weather for a waterpark, right? WRONG!
We spent this past weekend with our dear friends in the Smoky Mountains. My parents have a camper they keep over there, so we made plans to go Friday night and come back Sunday afternoon. We pre-bought tickets to Dollywood Splash Country a month or so ago with the intentions of spending Saturday at the park enjoying the warm (ha) weather and wild water rides, then going on a hike or two Sunday morning before heading for home…
