Did you get a chance to see any of the National Can It Forward Day events on Saturday? If you didn't, check out this page to see what you missed! In honor of National Can It Forward Day, I decided to try my hand at some small-scale canning. I thought making some spiced peach butter would be the ...

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 ...
Grain-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies {gluten-free, vegan, soy-free}
If you follow my Food I've Made Pinterest board, you know that I recently made a batch of my High Protein Energy balls. I hadn't made them in a while since it'd been so long since I could eat peanuts or tree nuts. They were eaten up so quickly I had to make a second batch a few days later. As I ...
End-of-summer vegetable soup
When I woke up Saturday morning to dark clouds and pouring rain, I knew exactly what I was going to make later that day. It was time for soup. I had a myriad of CSA vegetables that I needed to use up, and there is no better way to use up vegetables than throw them in a soup. As the final days ...
Avocado Pineapple Salsa
This Avocado Pineapple Salsa is the perfect combination of heat + sweet and it goes well on everything from chicken to fish to veggie burgers! I've always loved writing. When I was in second grade I "published" a book as part of the Young Author's program. In the back of the book, on ...
Grain-free carrot coconut muffins
Do you ever notice that when you can't have something, you want it even more? Ever since having to go gluten-free because of Luke's sensitivities, it seems like I want bread and baked goods even more than usual. Of course, nearly all of my go-to recipes for such things involve whole wheat flour. ...
Barley risotto with asparagus
One of my favorite recipes from the cookbook Vegan Yum Yum is the creamy tomato barley risotto. That recipe opened a whole new world for me of risotto-like dishes cooked with barely. The beauty of the recipe is in not just its delciousness, although it is amply delicious, but in its simplicity. ...
Roasted vegetable quinoa pie
Can you feel that? The light breeze. The sunlight on your face. I don't know what the weather is like where you are at, but here in southwest Ohio, spring is in the air. It might not last. We may have one last angry snow storm to punish us for the mild winter. Either way, spring is coming ...
