For this recipe I wanted to make something super colorful and fun. I don’t know about you, but this time of year makes me want to PARTAY! I want to make fun foods, sit outside, and soak up the warmth and sunshine. This recipe is perfect for that. Just look at those colors! I used the Turmeric Sweet Potato and Vibrant Beet wraps from Angelic Bakehouse. To be honest, I’m not sure I can make tortilla chips with anything else now. They are just so beautiful and vibrant!!
Read MoreThese quinoa bites are loaded with nourishing ingredients like broccoli, carrots, flaxseed, and spelt flour (for more protein). And the nutritional yeast provides the perfect hint of a “cheesy” flavor which is a win-win for everyone. The great thing about these bites is that whoever you are trying to feed - babies, toddlers, kids, or just adults - they seem to be a crowd pleaser! And that’s my favorite kind of meal :)
Read MoreThis is a dish that embodies the perfect combination of both summer and fall! A flavorful au gratin that uses a mix of potatoes and summer veggies. It’s also vegan, gluten-free, creamy, and delicious! The ingredients keep things feeling light and fresh, yet still hearty and comforting. It definitely hit the spot!
Read MoreIf you are looking for a healthy, fun twist on a traditional side dish, this recipe is for you! And the best part about it? No cooking required! Yep! It's totally raw. Woop woop! And no cooking means no pots, pans, sautéing, boiling, roasting, nothing. Just a cutting board, knife, and a food processor or blender to whip up the dressing. Fruit, veggies, avocado, and loads of flavor. What more could you want out of a salad?!
Read MoreThese meatballs come together lickity split and provide the right amount of hearty "meatiness" that you want out of a spaghetti dinner. The base of these meatballs are made with chickpeas, walnuts, and oats, fresh onion and garlic to add a punch of flavor, and seasonings that you might find in a traditional recipe. It's a great way to add some good plant-based protein to your meal, too!
Read MoreBaked oatmeal is totally underrated. It's so easy and yummy and just all around awesome. It can be a breakfast, snack, or dessert, and can easily be prepped ahead of time and heated up right before serving. Since making this, I have eaten it for breakfast in the morning....as an afternoon snack....and as an after dinner treat, topped with my favorite cashew milk ice cream. YUM!
Read MoreSoups are hands down my favorite thing to make. They are easy, can be packed with nourishing ingredients, and can develop a really deep, complex flavor. Oftentimes soup is better the second or third day once the flavors have had a chance to meld together. That is...if it lasts until the second or third day (insert gritted teeth emoji + upside down smile emoji).
Read MoreI'm still wrapping my head around the fact that Thanksgiving is next week! This year is FLYING. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. Scott and I usually get up early and either run in a Turkey Trot road race or do our own workout. We didn't sign up for an official race this year, so we will most likely be hitting up our local gym to get a little turkey day workout in by ourselves. After our workout, I'll be heading into the kitchen to whip up a few dishes to bring to my family's Thanksgiving dinner.
Read MoreThis dish tastes incredibly comforting while still feeling light and fresh. If you have never made a cashew cream sauce before, DO IT. Seriously, it's life changing. Who needs dairy when you have cashews?! Plus it has kale in it, so you definitely know it's healthy ;)
Read MoreJust look at those clusters! Now that's what I'm talking about. This is my favorite type of granola...nutty with extra large clusters. I forgot about granola for a long time. I know, I know, what kind of plant-based eater am I if I "forgot" about granola?! Sorry granola, I'll never forget about you again. Especially this granola.
Read MoreBoy oh boy do I have something tasty (and super easy) for you today. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Soup is my jam. It's one of my absolute favorite foods. And this time of year there is nothing better than a piping hot bowl of creamy, comforting soup. Add pumpkin to the mix and WHOA...can it even get any better?
