Easy, quick, delicious, and healthy, these Peanut Sesame Soba Noodles take only 8 minutes to put together, making them a perfect lunch or quick dinner! I know the temptation well. You spent all day working hard. It’s now dinnertime, and you look at the clock.

You don’t have time to make anything healthy, so you reach for the first thing you […]

Easy and healthy, my Sweet Potato Fries with Dill and Feta Dip are the perfect, delicious way to enjoy a classic comfort food! Friends, as a health-conscious vegetarian, I feel almost obligated to love sweet potatoes. They are the put-together and productive cousin of the classic white potato, which despite its wild popularity, contains very little nutritional value. Meanwhile, sweet potatoes are just loaded with vitamin A, which is great for skin and eye health. They also contain good amounts of vitamins C and […]

Healthy and easy, my homemade Honey Cinnamon Almond Butter is a delicious protein-packed spread or dip! Some people like almond butter, some love it, and for still others it is a way of life. I definitely fall into this last category. I love almond butter on my toast for a quick breakfast on-the-go, and apples dipped in almond butter are a great snack. However, what makes almond butter an absolute necessity for me is the punch of protein it gives my breakfast oatmeal. Since […]

Easy, satisfying, and delicious, my Chickpea Salad Wrap is vegan and healthy, making it the perfect lunch recipe for any day of the week! Friends, I don’t know if you know this, but I really like chickpeas. Like a lot. I add them willy nilly my puff pastry pot pies, my caprese salads, and my buffalo naan pizzas, just to name a few! I love chickpeas because they are versatile, packed with protein, and have some “heftiness” to them, which makes them a great […]

Packed with veggies and delicious flavor, my Butternut Squash Vegetarian Chili is easy to make in the slow cooker or on the stovetop! Ok guys, I am really excited about this one. I have always loved chili. Seriously. It’s one of those foods that just feels cozy and “homey.” It’s the perfect dish after a long day working or studying. When it is able to be cooked in the slow cooker, even better! I love coming home and immediately being hit with the warm, […]

My Chickpea Caprese Salad with chickpeas, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, red onion, and basil, is delicious, easy, satisfying, and packed with nutrition! Friends, during this whole COVID-19 outbreak, there have been two types of fresh produce my husband and I have never been without: tomatoes and basil. Tomatoes because my husband LIVES off of them. Seriously. There are many foods he can live without, but fresh tomatoes is not one of them. We don’t run to the grocery store until we run out of tomatoes. […]

Loaded with chickpeas, broccoli, and celery, this Buffalo Chickpea Naan Pizza is a guilt-free version of a classic comfort food. It contains 1.5 servings of vegetables, loads of fiber, and is a complete protein! Friends, it is time to take back comfort food. It is time to say it is ok for us to have a food craving. Because that craving doesn’t need to stop up your arteries. Really. We can have it all. We can crave buffalo sauce, cheese, and delicious carbs. And […]

Loaded with three servings of vegetables, this creamy, decadent and delicious Brussel Sprout and Sweet Potato Polenta Bowl is a great way to incorporate more veggies in your diet! I live in Florida, where summer takes up 11 1/2 months of the year. Perhaps it’s a hangover from my blistery days up North, but still at this time of the year I always crave cozy comfort foods. You know what I’m talking about: the filling, decadent, meals that “stick to your bones.” The kind […]

Bursting with three servings of vegetables per portion, my Roasted Pierogies with Vegetables sheet pan dinner is easy, quick, and packed full of nutrition! Let’s be real: I love cooking. However, when I get home at 9 in the evening, I really don’t want to put multiple pots on the stove, measure a precise amount of ingredients, and spend 20 minutes prepping the food. That doesn’t even count the cooking time! Stop the madness! Enter: my Roasted Pierogies with Vegetables. This potato-stuffed hero is […]
