Quinoa Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies
Discovering that I can replace the oats in a recipe with cooked quinoa has changed my life. Like when I found out that coconut flour could be added to smoothies for extra fiber, or when I was first introduced to the chia seed – all mind blowing moments. Now, I am looking at recipes that…
Chia Egg Coconut Granola (oil-free)
The Citrus Lentil Granola recipe that I shared last summer is the tastiest, most authentic gluten-free granola recipe that has come out of my kitchen. Adding sprouted lentils to your granola will be the coolest thing you ever do for breakfast. Or, at least it has been for me!
Tropical Lime Kale Salad
I made a batch of 5-Minute French Fries earlier this week, smothered the whole plate in mustard (yeh, I like mustard on my fries) and proceeded to chow down to my hearts content. I got halfway through the batch and just couldn’t have another bite. I was stuffed.
Quinoa Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies
I’ve often wondered what would happen if I replaced the oats in a classical oatmeal cookie with cooked quinoa. You know, for people that can’t have oats or want to liven up their cookie experience with a little high protein, quinoa action? Last week, I received a big box of Bob’s Red Mill Grain of…
Fresh n’ Raw Pad Thai Salad
I love enjoying food. Like, taking my time preparing a bunch of different sides, salads and entree options with not a care in the world. Like, sitting leisurely as I pick away at my plate. Like, indulging in a simple dessert with absolutely no guilt.
4-Ingredient Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches

It’s not that I’ve been avoiding desserts, I just haven’t been interested in making them as much. But, realizing that the last sweet treat I shared with you was this Cherry Chunk Protein Ice Cream on…
5-Minute French Fries
Jicama. I know what you’re thinking, what the heck is a jicama? I’ll show you!
Red Rooster Smoothie
I am in love with light smoothies right now. Just a touch of fruit, a little water, a bunch of veggies and; if my body needs it, a scoop of protein powder, seeds or healthy oils, and I’ve got a big, summertime smile painted right across my face.
Macadamia Nut Hummus (paleo and oil-free!)
You know that unsettling feeling that you get when you’ve been away from home for awhile? You may enjoy where you are, but deep down you long to slide into your favorite pair of sweatpants, cuddle up on your couch and do nothing but watch sunbeams dance across the floor?
Triple Threat Green Smoothie
I always thought that a green smoothie had to be made with juice or milk. That it had to be sweet, thick and filling. And, because of the loads of healthy fats and protein, that a green smoothie just couldn’t be less than 300 calories.
