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 ...
Weeknight Dinner
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 ...
Cauliflower Spring Pea Salad
I'm so excited to share this roasted cauliflower spring pea salad with you! This dish can be eaten hot or served cold at a picnic. The flavors just scream summer! Now, I've got to be straight up: this dish isn't horrible for you, but it certainly doesn't fall under our typical "healthy eats" category either. So...cue the mayo and bacon, don't eat it every day, and...get over it! It won't ...
Shrimp and Green Pea Scampi
Shrimp scampi is a quick weeknight meal with most ingredients you may have in your refrigerator or pantry. We changed this traditional recipe up by adding some green peas for a pop of color! I always try to keep frozen vegetables and frozen protein in the freezer for those weeknights when you do not have time to got to the grocery store or want to do something simple and easy. You could also ...
BBQ Chicken Tacos with Superfood Slaw
BBQ chicken tacos with superfood slaw are a great way to utilize leftovers you have in the fridge. This past Sunday night, I made crock pot BBQ chicken with macaroni and cheese and a side superfood salad with poppyseed dressing. We did not eat all of the BBQ chicken nor the salad (macaroni and cheese was gone though), so I thought what can I do with the leftovers? Tacos! DUH! I always keep ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mongolian Beef + Zucchini Noodles
This dish is fantastic, and honestly not too difficult. It may use some ingredients you don’t have in your fridge, but after tasting this you’ll want to keep these ingredients stocked! This was my first time using Thai chili sauce, I’m now border line obsessed! It’s sweet and tangy and packs in some heat! I see myself using this regularly. Sesame oil is a great staple for sauces or dressings, and ...
Mediterranean Bowl
Bowls are definitely one of my favorite food trends! It is a great way to eat all the flavors and foods you enjoy, with a little less guilt. While there is no one way to make a bowl, there are a few guidelines I like to follow. Use lots of color! With any meal I try to make as much color as possible on my plate. The sweet potato and roasted peppers really give a pop of vibrant color, while ...
Cauliflower Walnut “Meat” Taco Salad Bowl (Vegan)
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 ...
