Summer Squash and Farro Veggie Bowl

You may not have realized I’ve been a bit MIA, but I HAVE and I’ve missed you! For the first time since I started blogging a year ago, I not only didn’t post twice last week, I didn’t even post once! The decision didn’t come easy, but the time simply wasn’t there. The realization finally set in that I can’t do everything I want to do, and that’s okay. I have to prioritize and make choices. Part of being an adult, right?!…

Vegetarian Zucchini White Bean Burgers

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?…

Asian Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps

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!…

Balsamic Maple Glazed Cauliflower

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…

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…

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!…

Kale and Quinoa Veggie Bowl with Soft Boiled Egg

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…

Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Mushroom Marsala

There are a lot of pictures in this Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Mushroom Marsala post, and I guess part of that is to compensate for my lack of words. I said in this post that I wanted to be authentic with you, and the truth is, I’m heartbroken, discouraged and beat down. If you are new to Lemons and Basil, you can read about the trial my family is facing with my mom’s health here…

Vegetarian Lentil Sloppy Joes + Mom Update

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!…

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…

Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs

Disclaimer: I was so enchanted by these Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs, I’m afraid they’ve demanded somewhat of a picture-happy post, so be prepared! But who could blame me?? I mean, zucchini combined with red peppers, sweet onions, flax seed, cashew meal, and feta, baked to a crispy perfection, then topped with honey lime chipotle sauce and a poached egg with its glorious runny yolk…
