This Southwest Veggie Omelet is so yummy and super filling! AND my husband said it’s the best omelet he’s ever eaten..what?! Woohoo! You can easily add additional protein/dairy, but it’s pretty amazing on it’s own!
It’s sorta a strange thing to talk about food right now. With each new recipe I share from week to week, things are so different…

This creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Mushroom Chickpea Pasta is the perfect blend of hearty and healthy. Loaded with veggies, garlic, herbs and parmesan cheese!Pasta is one of those things that I don’t think to make often, but actually really enjoy. With the exception of zucchini pasta…
Like many people, I LOVE Fall. It’s truly my favorite time of the year.
Along with the crisp air, apple picking, and beautiful foliage, pumpkin plays a vital role in my affection for this season. My first inclination is to bake with cooked pumpkin, perhaps pumpkin bread or whoopie pies…
I realize we’re less than a week into Summer…which means there’s still a lot of warm {and humid for many of us} days ahead. But does that mean that soup has to be off the table? Is it still okay to make soup this time of year? Because while this Golden Sweet Potato Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk…
This Brussels Sprouts Breakfast bowl embodies everything I crave for my first meal of the day – it’s hardy, crunchy, full of flavor and pretty much an all around party in your mouth!…
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!…
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….
This Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprouts Breakfast Bowl is breakfast, lunch, AND dinner approved! Healthy enough for breakfast, yet hearty and filling enough for lunch or dinner. Better yet, it’s loaded with nutrition, color and flavor – three of my must-haves!..
My typical go-to after Thanksgiving is a salad – my body can’t help but crave something simple and nutritious. However, today I’m excited to share this Roasted Acorn Squash and Quinoa Power Bowl. I love quinoa bowls and how easily they adapt to so many flavors. This one is a new favorite, full of lots of flavor, nutrition and pure seasonal bliss!…
We eat a lot of eggs in our household. A lot. And this pregnancy, I’ve seemed to crave them more than ever. I’ve been a yogurt with berries, flaxseed, and bran flakes breakfast-eater for years, but for whatever reason, it just hasn’t set well with me the last nine months…
As of yesterday, we officially have a two year old little boy. From the time Brighton was little, we couldn’t help but feel like his name’s been prophetic, often hearing others say “BrightON is so fitting, he brightENs all things”…
Happy Independence Day if you’re in America!
I’m afraid I didn’t quite get together a red, white, and blue dish for you today, but I’m hoping you won’t be too disappointed once you feast your eyes on these Vegetarian BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches with Caramelized Veggies! If you aren’t familiar with Jackfruit, you can read all about it here…
I know, I know. Another zucchini pasta dish, but what can I say, we eat zucchini pasta weekly and there are so many different healthy ways to fix it! This White Bean Creamy Alfredo with Zucchini Pasta has become a recent favorite…
One of my all time favorite combinations for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, is Roasted Vegetables + White Cheddar Cheese {preferably raw milk and/or aged} + Over Easy Eggs…
This Baked Lentil Marinara Spaghetti Squash is for all the pasta lovers out there wanting to cut back on the carbs without sacrificing your favorites! Using vegetables in place of pasta is a regular thing in our house…
Hummus anyone? Or rather crispy, salty blue corn chips, dipped and covered in roasted-garlic-red-pepper-and-white-bean-goodness?? This White Bean Hummus with Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper is chock full of nutrition and loaded with flavor, you’ll be begging for more!…
For someone who loves food so much, sometimes I’m truly amazed by how little I know.
I have a recent and newfound love for curry powder, and while I’ve never really given much thought to what curry powder actually is…
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Oh wait..that was yesterday…{sigh}
I had hoped to have this post up several days ago, but as usual, I’m running a little late…story of my life. Although, with a 9 month old, I finally have a justifiable reason!…
If you’ve followed along for long, you likely know that I genuinely love healthy foods. But I also enjoy balance, and there are no foods {in my book} that are altogether off limits. So while, I love eating whole foods, loaded with veggies…
This Roasted Veggie Breakfast Bowl with Fried Eggs is a delicious and healthy dish that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, OR dinner. It’s a simple combination of chopped and seasoned veggies, roasted to perfection, then topped with a fried egg, a Sriracha based sauce, and a few slices of avocado…
Today’s post is twice the fun, not only am I thrilled to share the recipe for these tasty Butternut Squash Veggie Burgers, but thanks to the NEW Rubbermaid® fasten + go sandwich kit, I also have the perfect food storage container for you to pack these babies up and take them on the go!…
Growing up my mom made the best spinach quiche – I’m not sure my tastebuds appropriately appreciated it at a certain young age, but as I matured, my tastebuds joined in, and somewhere along the way, I grew to love her spinach quiche with crust made from scratch…
Sometimes an easy mistake turns into a tasty solution! A while back, my sister and I threw a surprise retirement party for my dad, and spinach cheese balls were on the menu…
I think if you would’ve asked me a couple of years ago if I liked zucchini I would have easily shrugged with a quick “of course, who doesn’t?” However when I look back at my recent recipes, it’s becoming apparent that I’m a little more than just fond of zucchini! Who knew zucchini was so versatile?…
It’s amazing how quickly life can change. Just when you think you have a plan in place, in the blink of an eye, that plan has been thrown out the window and a new one begins to form. If you’ve followed along for a while, you likely know that Josh and I sold our house and we’re waiting on our rental…
Okay… here is where I admit that I’m a horrible food blogger who did not properly plan and prepare a festive July 4th recipe to share with you…do I lose any and all credibility I may have built up to this point??? I could pretend that I took the route of sharing a small, healthy appetizer with you for your July 4th bash. I could even say that I opted to use a blue and white linen napkin in the spirit of this great holiday, since the food itself is rather lacking in the department of festive spirit {red, white and blue}. But I’m afraid you’d see right through me!…
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!…
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…
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!…
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…
