Let's taco 'bout how amazing these taco salad bowls are. (Sorry, couldn't help it!) These salad bowls are so pretty and so delicious, no one will notice the "meat" is vegan. Not even your meat-loving boyfriend! I've been seeing more and more variations on taco "meat" substitutes in my instagram feed lately, so I thought I better check it out. And let me just tell you, I am SO glad I ...

Pear + Prosciutto Appetizer
I love to host people, whether it be for a long weekend or just for a couple glasses of wine. It always excites me, and I want everything to be perfect. For me the greatest compliment is hearing that my friends have enjoyed my hospitality!! When hosting, I feel it's my job to make everyone comfortable. I try to anticipate the needs of my guests so that there's no stress -- just great ...
Warm Brussels Sprouts and Pear Salad
This maybe one of the best salads I have ever made. Not to toot my own horn, but seriously, the textures and the flavors of this salad really compliment each other in such a way that I want to make this over and over! The dressing is my go-to! I make this dressing probably once or twice a month and always have it on hand. It goes on any salad, whether you're tossing up a nice cobb, putting ...
Edamame Hummus
Edamame hummus is a great alternative to a traditional chick pea hummus. Edamame is packed with plant based protein and fiber! The bright green color of the edamame makes this dish visually appealing as well. We utilized mint in the recipe to give the hummus a refreshing zing but still stayed true to hummus incorporating tahini and olive oil. You can traditionally serve with ...
Spicy Edamame Dipping Sauce
We can't get enough of dipping sauces! Steamed edamame is a simple appetizer or side dish that you can whip out on a moments notice when guests come over unannounced. Soy sauce is your typical dipping sauce, but we wanted to put a healthy spin on the savory umami flavor. The issue comes when trying to find a good dipping sauce as soy sauce and even low sodium soy sauce can still contain ...

Guys, this sheet pan chicken is your new weeknight go-to! Everything goes on one half sheet pan, and dinner is served in 30 minutes! This recipe checks the Whole30 and Paleo boxes, and is kid-friendly to boot. There’s nothing fancy about this dinner, and that’s what makes it so great. You can hit up that spin class late after work tonight and still eat a healthy meal at a reasonable ...
Sheet Pan Snapper Amandine + Asparagus (Whole30 + Paleo)
Ah, Snapper Amandine. This recipe, adapted from my mother’s Trout Amandine, is probably my favorite fish preparation. It’s impressive enough that I’ve cooked it for a few first dates, and easy enough to whip up on a weeknight. Mom uses Trout for this recipe. I like it equally with Trout and Snapper, but you can use any flaky white fish you have on hand. Here, I used a large Red Snapper ...
Simple Arugula Salad
Simple arugula salad - an easy green dish that packs a lot of flavor. Because arugula is so "peppery," it stands on its own super well, and I find that it doesn't need a lot of jazzing up. Pairing this salad green with a simple lemon juice + olive oil dressing balances out the peppery punch nicely. I love how light this dressing is! In my opinion, you don't want to use a heavy dressing (we're ...
Arugula Green Smoothie
Smoothies are my favorite way to utilize all the fruit leftover in the fridge or the handful of greens I've got hanging around (from that kale salad I made earlier this week). Most green smoothie recipes call for spinach or kale, but after whipping up this delicious cauliflower pizza with arugula salad on top, I had a good bit of arugula left over. So I thought, hey, why not toss some arugula in ...
