Kabocha Squash Lentil Curry
This time last year, I was putting together the final touches of my trip to India. I was just days away from boarding the plane to Mumbai and remember being so flippin’ scared that I was either going to die of fear en route, or get lost and never find my way home. But I…
Gluten-free & Vegan Meal Plans
Many of us want to nourish our bodies with healthy, home cooked meals that will make us feel good about ourselves, our bodies and our future. A bunch of you out there are also quite new to the vegan, gluten-free or grain-free eating style or are interested in learning more about it. And I just…
Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls
300 calorie meal. Sounds tantalizing, doesn’t it? What if I told you that 1 serving of these cabbage rolls weren’t 300 calories, but 260? And I’m not talking about a tiny wee portion either. Ridiculous, right? Ah, I know!
Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)
When we first met, Kevin knew he was sensitive to lactose but ate it anyways because he didn’t think there were any other options and had no familiarity with dairy-free recipes. He had Parmesan on his pasta instead of nutritional yeast, shredded mozzarella on his pizza instead of vegan cheese, 1% cow’s milk in his…
Thyme and Onion Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)
If the dessert crackers from last week didn’t entice you, I’m sure that these will. They’re crunchy, savory and taste a lot like Wheat Thins, believe it or not. Also, don’t let the flax-base scare you. They’re not your average flax cracker. In fact, they’re anything but. I remember the first time I made flax…
Cranberry Sauce Muffins (vegan + grain-free)
Like you, I’m not a fan of the gummy muffin. You know the kind; especially if you’re gluten-free, egg-free or vegan. The uncooked center, hard exterior – it’s anything but a muffin. I want that pull apart gluten-filled consistency, the crisp, slightly crystallized sugar exterior and a fluffy inside… now that’s a muffin my friends.
Apple Pie Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)
Angela and I had such a blast this past weekend. We made our 2013 dream boards, ate a whole bunch of great food, watched chick flicks, practiced some hot yoga and created a brand new, highly exciting recipe.
Snugglebum Leftover Turkey Soup
Snugglebum warm was an expression my Mom always used when she wrapped us up in a billion layers and kicked us out of the house to play in the snow for awhile. According to urban dictionary, a snugglebum is a human heater – that special someone in your life that cuddles up with you to…
Roasted Salad Towers
I’m all for chowing down on a fresh salad at any time of the day, but when the temperature drops and no amount of hot showers can warm me up, I’d rather drown myself in a warm bowl of veggies and an afternoon nap than chill out with a bowl of fresh veggies.
Goat Cheese Stuffed Turkey and Quinoa Balls
Christmas is just around the corner and my mind has been filled with appetizer ideas for the big day. Preparing the appetizer table has to be one of my favorite parts about entertaining. I like coming up with unique recipes that will entice people to try new things but be healthy enough for them to…
