This Homemade Alphabet Vegetable Soup Recipe is better than Campbell's and much healthier, too! Did you grow up with Campbell's Soup? I sure did. We always had a can of Campbell's in the pantry, ready to be poured into a pan along with some water. It was easy, that's for ...

Smashed Chickpea Salad with Cilantro Pesto on Toast
This is my new favorite lunch. It's quick, healthy, and soooooo filling! I fully expected to need to eat something else or be hungry again in an hour, but I was satisfied and not hungry again for hours. I used my cilantro pesto for this recipe. There are lots of things you can do with this ...

tomato barley soup with baby greens
You know it's been a long, cold winter when a temperature of 37 degrees prompts you to wear shorts. Yes, I saw another mom wearing shorts at Meghan's school drop-off yesterday. I kind of shrugged because I get it. It did feel like a freaking heat wave compared to the frigid cold mornings we've ...

Open-faced sandwich with smoky kale and goat cheese
I would like to introduce you to my new favorite lunch. It graced my lunch plate the last two days and I'll probably have it today, too. And tomorrow. After that I'll have to make a trip to the grocery store to get more kale. I'm 100% addicted. This is the only recipe that allows me to eat an ...
Cheddar and smoky cherry panini
I don't generally eat too many paninis in the summer months. Something about a hot sandwich when it's hot outside doesn't usually appeal to me. This panini, however, is a summer panini if there ever was one. Made with fresh seasonal cherries, this panini has summer written all over it. I had ...
Roasted butternut squash soup with ginger and lime
Here's the thing with kids. I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. I want to be with them when they're at the table, painting hearts and learning that markers should not be eaten. Even if I didn't want to, I need to be there for table time activities like this, because Luke will eat those ...
Sunflower veggie wraps {Gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, nut-free}
Last week, I had a gift card to Barnes and Noble and forty five minutes, by myself, to browse the store. I haven't had that luxury in too long. It was heaven. I love bookstores. In addition to making the stack to t0-be-read-books on my night stand even bigger, I also left ...
