Vegan Butternut Squash and Cashew Salad
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?…
Easy Chickpea Pasta Primavera + Gluten-Free
This Easy Chickpea Pasta Primavera is full of Summer’s best veggies. Whether you prefer it cold as a side salad, or warm for the main meal, it’s sure to deliver in both flavor and nutrition!
This recipe has been a long time favorite of mine…
Roasted Broccoli Blue Cheese and Bacon Chopped Salad
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…
New England Inspired Creamy Apple Slaw + Apple Picking
After visiting Vermont in the Fall of 2013, Josh and I don’t really do a Summer vacation anymore, instead we spend a week each Fall in New England. Most of our time has been spent in Vermont and Maine, but this Fall we took the little ones and stayed a week in Boston, MA…
Detox Cauliflower Brussels Sprouts Salad
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!…
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. I find myself not really wanting the traditional Winter comfort foods anymore, but also not quite ready for all things Spring. This Easy Lentil Sweet Potato Taco Bowl is the best of both worlds….
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…
Chopped Apple Quinoa and Pecan Salad
If you follow me on Instagram, you may remember this Chopped Apple Quinoa and Pecan Salad I made {and posted} for our family’s Easter get-together this year. It was a hit all around and my sister requested it for our Father’s Day dinner last evening…
Quinoa White Bean Cheese and Kale Salad
If you like quinoa and kale salads, then this Quinoa White Bean and Kale Salad is a must-try for you, but careful, it’s rather addicting! If you haven’t tried a quinoa and kale salad before, let me highly recommend this one…
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…
Sweet Potato and Beet Veggie Flatbread
So, a bit of an interesting story regarding this Sweet Potato and Beet Veggie Flatbread. I got an email earlier this summer from a producer for RFD-TV’s show “Country Women”….
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….
Delicata Squash & Barley Kale Salad + A Very Special Thank You
With the holidays come so many wonderful things – time with loved ones, traditions, festivities, reflection, giving, and food, just to name a few. And when it comes to the food, there is SO. MUCH. FOOD…
Easy Shrimp and Avocado Taco Salad
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!…
Rainbow Lunch Salad + Easy Food Prep
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…
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!..
A Year of Recipes You Might Have Missed
I mentioned last week that my technical one year anniversary has come and gone and I had absolutely no idea, therefore gave no tribute to it, or reflection on this past year. I say “technical because, while my first post was dated August 19th, I didn’t actual tell anyone about the blog until late October. So, I guess since I missed doing this in August, and it’s not quite yet October, I’ll post this little tribute in September and shoot the middle…
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…
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!…
