Tikki Masala Veggies and Rice + Vegan

This Tikki Masala Veggies and Rice is the perfect week-night dinner! The sauce comes together quickly and is as good or better than any store-bought option!Is it odd that the foods my kids seem to eat best are Mexican and Indian flavored dishes? I mean, better than pizza, or pasta, or grilled cheese, or whatever else you can think of that kids typically love..

Instant Pot Split Pea Lentil and Butternut Squash Stew

I really wanted to get this out in time to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, but as you can clearly see, that didn’t happen. Several things played a part in that, the biggest obstacle is that we’re on our THIRD week of dealing with sickness…

My first inclination is to apologize and share my embarrassment at going 8 WEEKS without posting a single recipe.🙈But when I stop and consider the season we’re in, the craziness of it all and the conscious decision I made to let the blog go for a short time, to prioritize things and focus on family, I can’t really be sorry…

Golden Sweet Potato Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk

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…

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.

Vegan Lentil Curry Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Without question, I love this time of the year.

Especially now with little ones and seeing the excitement in their eyes as they see Christmas lights for the first time, or bubble over at the thought of a LIVE TREE in our house! Reading Christmas stories at night, baking cookies to give to others, teaching them the joy to give and receive.

Vegan Zucchini Sweet Potato Rolls

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!…

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…

Spiced Sweet Potatoes Ultimate Tostada

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

As promised, here is the full recipe for these Spiced Sweet Potatoes {Savory Waffle} Ultimate Tostadas! This is a continuation to Friday’s post, where I shared the recipe for these Gluten Free Savory Cornbread Waffles. I mentioned last week that while we were in Seattle last year we ate at Nero Belgian Waffle Bar {so good}, which largely contributed to the inspired behind these savory waffles. However, the other inspiration came when contemplating an alternative base for a scrumptious tostada outside of the typical corn tortilla…

If you didn’t get a chance to read my last post, then let me quickly fill you in. I started out making this salad last Sunday, intending on mixing in all my favorites while attempting a new homemade dressing to go with it. However, the dressing took over, stole the show and got a post of its own! So now, as promised, I have the scoop on the salad that left my tummy happy and full, yet wanting more!…

Sweet Potato Pad Thai with Sriracha Sauce

Okay, truth? I’ve never actually eaten Pad Thai. So, I feel like a bit of a phony, or at least a little unqualified, to title this recipe, Sweet Potato Pad Thai. BUT, like the straight-A student I always sought to be, I did do my research. And I think {fingers-crossed} that I have enough of the general ingredients needed to label this Pad Thai…

Comfort Foods and Six Month Anniversary

As of Wednesday, Lemons and Basil is officially six months old! At times it feels as though it’s been much longer and others it feels as though I’ve just began. I can honestly say it’s been much-needed sense of distraction and comfort these past six months. I shared some personal things my family is facing in my last post, Vegetarian Spaghetti Squash Tacos, which explains a bit more the need for comfort this blog, and you, have provided…

Clean Eating Cabbage Soup – Great Detox

I don’t know about you, but Sunday night’s Super Bowl felt like there was a whole lot of build up for a whole lot of nothing… except maybe embarrassment. I mean really, 43-8?? I had such high hopes for you, Denver.

And the commercials? Maybe I just didn’t pay attention as closely as I should have, but the only commercial I remember really liking was the Puppy Love commercial with the Clydesdale horse and the cute puppy. So sweet!…
