This turkey vegetable soup is perfect for busy weeknights. It's quick, inexpensive, filling, and healthy. I'll show you how to cook it on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. Winter has never been my favorite season. I'm not a big fan of the cold, and during grad school winter days were particularly long. I'd get up early and head to school some mornings in the dark, only to return home in the ...
Dairy-Free
White Chicken Chili
It’s that time of year! Time to dust off the crock pot and whip up some easy recipes. While I always associate the crock pot with cold weather, I do live in Atlanta and even though it’s officially Fall, it’s definitely NOT cold. I’m not sure why I don’t use the crock pot year round though! Not only is it the easiest way to meal prep, it’s a great way to cut down on heat in the kitchen! I ...
Dairy Free Basil Cream Sauce (Whole30)
Creamy, dreamy basil cream sauce with no dairy? Believe it! This "alfredo" sauce is made with cauliflower and has two whole cups of fresh basil blended in, so you can make great use of your summer basil harvest! When I first tried Pinch of Yum's cauliflower "Alfredo" sauce, I was blown away. Guys, you really would never know this is a veggie-based sauce. It's so delicious, you can just eat ...
Strawberry Mignonette
There is nothing that reminds me of summer and the beach more than raw oysters! While I love the salty, briny little bivalves, I like them best with toppings. Sometimes the saltine with a touch of cocktail sauce is all I need, but when I’m feeling fancy I’ll whip up a mignonette! Traditionally mignonette is made with red wine vinegar, shallots, and pepper. This makes for a beautiful flavor ...
Simple Strawberry Sorbet (No Ice Cream Maker Required)
I love strawberries - especially when they are in peak season! Picking strawberries was a childhood past time, and I look forward to them enthusiastically every spring. I have fond memories of trips to Montezuma, GA with my grandparents to pick fresh berries on Saturdays. I'm sure my grandmother spent more time getting the berry juice out of my clothes after I ate them straight from the field ...
Turmeric Cauliflower Soup (DF, Vegan)
A little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. A little bit of crunch mixed in with a whole lotta creaminess. Yes, my friend, I'm talking about our turmeric cauliflower soup. It's super creamy, but is in fact both vegan and dairy-free! I love a reason to bust out my dutch oven, and what better excuse than a big pot of soup! The base of this soup couldn't be simpler. You'll start out by sautéing ...
Summer Salad of Sugar Snap Peas, Corn, and Tomatoes
Finally the heat has arrived and Atlanta is having some great weather! For me that means it’s grilling season. Honestly I grill year 'round, but it’s more fun to sit out on your porch when the weather is nice, sipping a glass of wine and grilling dinner. Recently, I was making BBQ chicken and I decided to make a fresh and simple sugar snap pea salad to go along with it. Another great reason ...
Pumpkin Seed Pesto with Zoodles + Blistered Cherry Tomatoes
Raise your hand if you love pesto! Now raise your hand if you're allergic to, or avoiding, nuts... We've got a pretty special recipe just for you! This pumpkin seed pesto is 100% dairy and nut free, AND 100% delicious! I chose to use arugula to add a peppery bite to my pesto. And because -- let's be real -- it was in the fridge! You can use any leafy green that you like. Spinach, mixed ...
Raw Brownie Energy Bites (DF, Vegan)
These delicious brownie energy bites taste like a brownie with none of the guilt! They're dairy-free, vegan, and contain no refined sugar, plus they're raw, so you can take in all the nutrients and natural enzymes in the foods. Major win. I like to eat these 'lil treats as an afternoon snack, a healthy dessert, with a hot cup of joe, or as a pre- or post-workout snack! I chose to ...
Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos (DF, Vegan)
Holy guacamole, these babies are good! If you've ever doubted that a vegan dinner can satisfy, you haven't tried these sweet potato black bean tacos. Even my boyfriend, who is quite the carnivore, was asking for more. There's so much to love about these tacos -- they're loaded with heavy-hitting superfoods like cabbage, sweet potato, black beans, avocados, and pepitas (also known as pumpkin ...
