Grain-free Cranberry Pecan Pilaf
Whoop, it’s the last day of the month! I thought this day would never come. Really, I didn’t. After this evening’s hot yin class at Moksha Yoga NDG I will have completed 60 straight days of yoga. Wow, even writing that boggles my mind. I feel like I’ve gone through a meat grinder and been…
Dairy-free Butter Chicken
I ate this for breakfast yesterday morning, had it again for lunch… and can just about guarantee that I’ll be enjoying it again today. It’s just that good. Now I know what you’re thinking, ‘dairy-free butter chicken? It has to taste off.’ It doesn’t. I had my fair share of authentic butter chicken while I…
Cinnamon Roll Flax Almond Butter
Oh boy do I have a treat for us today! I’ve gotten back into making my own nut butters (enjoying a tablespoon or so drizzled over a fresh cut apple as a post yoga snack) and this latest batch is better than any other nut butter I’ve ever made. It’s more satisfying than my Vanilla…
Vegan Sprout Bowl with Creamy Curry Sauce
Food for your soul – it makes you feel whole, balanced and full of life. You know when you’ve had a soul-nourishing meal when you get high on life, exude confidence, and are ready to take on anything that comes your way. This feeling is not to be confused with the rush you get when…
Rosemary Sweet Potato Wedges with Skinny Garlic Aioli
I was raised to believe that all goats were good for was hopping through pastures and eating grass. It wasn’t until I began working closely with Happy Days Dairies that I fully began to appreciate just how awesome goats really are. Turns out these friendly little creatures create milk with quite an awesome nutrient profile….
Garlic Maple Sweet Potato Casserole
We’re done the two week cleanse! One of my favorite things about cleansing is that it resets my eating habits and redefines what’s important to me. In the span of the last two weeks, I’ve eaten more vegetables daily than I used to consume in a week, drank a whole bunch more water, and developed…
Brussels Bowl with Cauliflower “Rice” and Rosemary Sauce
There are so many things that I love about this meal. I’ve wondered if grains were bothersome to my body for awhile but the reaction was so faint, so barely there, that I didn’t pay much attention to it. The key to becoming the healthy, balanced being that we all strive for is listening to…
Indian Red Lentil Stew
A girl’s gotta treat herself every once in awhile. Whether it’s a weekend retreat, getting a pedicure, or an elaborate haircut, doing something kind to ourselves makes us feel good, relaxed and special. It doesn’t have to be huge. Heck, I consider taking myself out to tea and reading for a couple of hours in…
Citrus Salsa with Salmon and Bok Choy
The weather’s been strange here. Wait, let me rephrase that… I’m not used to living in a snow-free city in November. The sun is shining, I find myself wearing light jackets, sweaters and I even got away with wearing shorts on Monday. Shorts in November… that’s madness! As a result, today’s cleanse recipe has bright…
Roasted Red Pepper Bean Salad
Did you like beans when you were a kid? Gosh, I hated them. They were so… granola. I refused to eat them on the basis that my Dad didn’t like them. Same goes with beets. That man hates his beets. Instead, my proteins of choice were things like turkey, kielbasa, fried eggs and; my favorite…
