20 minute dinner: vegan mac and (not) cheese with peas
If you are looking for some vegan comfort food, this is your recipe. You don't have to be a vegan or even a vegetarian to enjoy a vegan meal once in a while. This pasta dish delivers a big bowl of comfort and is a stick-to-your ribs kind of meal, perfect for these winter months. I'm not going ...
Apple cinnamon crumb muffins
Do you find yourself waiting for circumstances to be perfect before you take action on something? Rather than just doing something, do you spend time waiting to do something until the timing is just right? I do this all. the. time. To the point that less gets done because let's face it, the ...
Coconut blueberry breakfast quinoa {vegan, gluten free}
Are you getting bored with your breakfast routine? If you're stuck in a breakfast rut, I've got just the recipe for you. Whenever I find myself making the same breakfast over and over (I'm talking to you, oatmeal), I turn to my good friend quinoa. Breakfast quinoa recipes are not strangers on ...
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 ...
Roasted potatoes with pistachio pesto {vegan}
Meghan is the kind of kid who decides if she likes a food or not based on how it looks. I suspect she's not the only kid out there who does this. So when she looked at these potatoes, she quickly declared, "I don't like that kind of potatoes." Of course not. They look...different. There's ...

15 minute grilled chickpea tacos
I'm writing this post in the wee hours of the morning, hoping I could beat the troops and get it done before the rest of the family starts their day. The little man, however, is already beckoning me as I type these words. The best laid plans... What's a mom to do? This is going to be the ...
Fiesta salad with cilantro-lime dressing
The last few months, we fell into a nice little routine. Saturday morning I would bring Meghan to gymnastics. During that free hour I made my meal plan and grocery list for the week. Then Saturday afternoon we made a family trip to the grocery to store to get our goods. {Interesting side note: ...
Snack attack! Healthy snacks for growing kids
There are times when Meghan will go through a phase of barely eating anything at all. I wonder how she still has boundless energy when she's eating like a bird. The last few weeks, it's been the exact opposite of that. Her appetite is voracious and she eats and eats and eats. I think we've ...
The world’s healthiest brownie {vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free}
Happy Fat Tuesday! It's a little weird to have a "healthy" dessert for you on Fat Tuesday of all days. With Fat Tuesday and Valentine's Day this week, I knew I had to bring you a chocolate recipe. And I guess I just can't help myself, I went and made it healthy. So what is it about this ...
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 ...
