And I don’t know about you, but I need all the Immune-boosting I can get!…
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…

I’m so excited to share these Turmeric Ginger Banana Muffins with you today! Inspired by one of my top-viewed recipes on the site, this Turmeric Banana Smoothie, these muffins are a delicious way to boost your immune system while fueling your body with healthy, whole foods!…
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 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!…
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!..
Without question, I love this time of the year.
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.
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”…
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…
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…
As mentioned in my last post, I have several pumpkin and winter squash recipes in my queue ready to share with you. I had hoped to share this Vegan Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry months ago, shortly after my Eggplant and Quinoa Indian Fare, yet failed to do so…
Sometimes food just isn’t pretty.
And I think it’s fair to say that this Eggplant Quinoa Indian Fare falls into that not so pretty category. But, I’m okay with that…
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!…
Thank goodness for organic canned pumpkin and it’s decent shelf life! Without it, I’m fairly certain I would never have experienced devoured this fresh zucchini pasta coated in rich, creamy pumpkin chipotle sauce in the middle of Spring…
These Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas are quite possibly one of my favorite dishes I’ve made since being pregnant. Early in my pregnancy, I was extremely fortunate to not be sick…
Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t be more thrilled to see the weekend arrive! Wednesday marked my 29th birthday and the start of my final year in my twenties…
Occasionally…I listen to him. By him, I mean my husband. He loves this Spicy Sriracha Cashew Sauce, and suggested {more than once} that I designate a post to it and it alone. He made the same recommendation for this dressing and the outcome was fairly successful…
If you read my last post, then you know two things. First, I’m posting two cauliflower recipes in a row. Oops. Second, Josh and I found a house we really like during our rapid house hunt and were contemplating making an offer. So the update is that we now have a contract on that house {insert excited scream here}, and the home inspection is taking place today at 1pm. If all goes well we are scheduled to close in less than two weeks. Eek!…
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 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…
I knew I loved all things sweets and salads {come to think of it, that might have been a better name for my blog…off subject}, but I didn’t realize I loved pizza quite so much. Being that this Cauliflower Alfredo Veggie Pizza is my fifth pizza post in the short time I’ve been blogging, it’s becoming pretty clear that I adore pizza in all varieties…
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…
I’ve written about personal things a couple of times here and each time I find myself surprised by the acceptance and embrace of my readers. I’m still young in this blog world, and still trying to find my voice. But it’s such a relief to know that I can just be me, whoever that is. So before I talk about this Zucchini Fettuccine and Cauliflower Alfredo, I’d love to be candid for a few minutes…
Have you tried the Balsamic Almond and Turmeric Dressing yet?!? If not, here is the perfect Green Power Salad to put with it! 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!…
This doesn’t look much like a Fudgy Flourless Red Chili Chocolate Muffin, does it? Because that’s the recipe I was planning on sharing with you. However, some times things don’t go as planned.
After church this afternoon I began preparing a recipe, what I’m calling, a Green Powerhouse Salad with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato. Although now that I see how long that is, I may have to revise it a bit before posting the recipe…
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…
It’s Friday, the sun is shining and the high is 70 degrees. I believe a celebration is in order, and lets start it with this Spring inspired, fresh Turmeric Banana Smoothie with Ginger!
I have read so many wonderful things lately about Turmeric and how good it is for the body, it has the ability to help prevent cancer, improve asthma, speed up healing process among so many other benefits – which I’ll dive into in just a minute…
