Happy Valentine’s Day!
On a day that’s focuses heavily on spreading the love with those around you, I thought we’d take a minute to look at how you can love yourself and your family well with several tasty Heart Healthy Dishes! It’s amazing the role our diet plays in our overall health, but especially our heart health…
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.
Simple + Hearty + Delicious
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?…
These Healthy Fajita Bowls are an absolute favorite of mine for entertaining. With a large spread of fresh ingredients, it’s easy to satisfy everyone!
If I’m honest, inviting guests in our home and cooking a meal for them is fairly intimidating to me. I LOVE hosting people…
We recently joined some friends of ours to see Gregory Alan Isakov perform live at the Ryman. I wasn’t familiar with him before the show, but his indie-rock-folk style is definitely a genre I like and it turned out to be a really great show…
This Detox Cauliflower Brussels Sprouts Salad with Roasted Chickpeas is full of great flavor, a lot of crunch, and best of all it’s loaded with protein, fiber, and healthy fats! I’ve been eating on it the last several days and can’t seem to get enough!…
As promised, today’s recipe combines a version of last week’s Mediterranean Roasted Red Potatoes and Veggies with many of my other favorites to make this Roasted Veggie Grain Bowl with Avocado and Hummus…
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…
This Green Cauliflower and Wheat Berry Salad is bold in flavor, rich in color, and bursting with nutrition.
One of the things Josh and I love so much about Franklin are the unique, local shops that continue to move in to the area. Herban Market is among those, recently opening just down the road from us…
Well I WISH I was writing to say, “he’s here, little Brighton has arrived”, but it seems he’s pretty comfortable in my belly and so, with no other choice, we anxiously wait!…
Food prepping anyone? Clearly I’m a little late to this bandwagon, but I’m jumping on it all the same! I am not one of those who cooks all day Sunday in prep for the week ahead…
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!..
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…
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!…
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!…
TGIF! Anyone one else remember the series of shows that use to come on ABC during prime time every Friday night. There was Boy Meets World, Growing Pains, Step by Step, The Wonder Year…AH, such fond memories, such good shows!…
Christmas is in TWO days! Are you ready??
I’m sure most of you have your meal all planned out, but if you’re looking for a festive salad to add to the feast, consider this Pomegranate Christmas Salad!…
Saturday was Josh’s birthday, we spent a lovely, leisurely day together to celebrate. Our day started with a relaxed morning before picking up coffee and heading to a local used bookstore to browse the shelves for used books, movies, and music. It’s amazing how time flies when you’re in a book store…
