  • Savory Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

    This time time of year is my absolute favorite – cooler weather, all the wonderful varieties of squash, and lots of soup! I used to always start my day with a smoothie, but these days I’ve traded it in for a bowl of hot soup. Not only is it comforting, but it’s also a great…

  • RECIPE: Spicy Chickpea & Kale Salad

    This Chickpea & Kale Salad is similar to your standard chickpea mash, but with a little spice and greens thrown in. It’s creamy, full of flavor, and easily customizable! Pair it with some celery + carrot sticks for a quick snack or turn it into a main meal as a big salad or sandwich.  I…

  • RECIPE: Oil-Free Protein Pancakes

    Hello, friends! It’s been a LONG time, but I’m back and I owe you some recipes! I’d love to hear how you’re all doing, so leave me a comment below telling me a bit about your summer so far! I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of July…the days are flying by. Is this really…

  • RECIPE: Quinoa Apple Salad with Creamy Mustard Dressing

    If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember a post about Willow “cooking” me dinner in her little kitchen. She said she was making me a Quinoa Apple Salad. Where in the world did she come up with this?!?! I knew straight away that I had to create a “real” quinoa apple salad. I…

  • RECIPE: Chocolate Toffee Oats

    Last week, I accidentally created a new sauce recipe and we’ve been hooked on it ever since. I set out to create a caramel sauce, but after asking Josh to try it, we decided it tasted more like toffee…totally not complaining. It has a bold, rich flavor, but unlike the typical cooking process of caramel…

  • RECIPE: PB&J Oats

    It’s been a LONG time since I’ve written a blog post! This summer is flying by and it’s been a hot one, which means less time experimenting in our little kitchen. We ban the use of the oven once the temps get into the 80’s (we don’t have AC) and we’ve had several days of…

  • RECIPE: Raw Kale Salad with Garlic Chipotle Tahini Dressing

    My love for tahini began several years ago and one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog (over four years ago), was for a Creamy Orange Tahini Dressing. Since then, and I think it’s safe to say, I’ve become addicted to tahini. Not only is it creamy and delicious, but it’s also…

  • RECIPE: Veggie “Pizza” Bowl featuring Cheezy Pizza Sauce

    Have you noticed that most of my recipes are of dips and sauces? Haha! Well, we use them a few times a week, whether over pasta, for veggies or potatoes. I’m constantly coming up with new ways to sneak in some extra nutrients into Willow’s diet and since she is incredibly finicky (although, she is…

  • RECIPE: Smoky Red Pepper-Cashew Cheeze Sauce

    It’s been a LONG time since I’ve shared a recipe with you! I’m horrible about writing down measurements as I’m going and I’ve learned that I can’t base it off of memory…my mama brain is overloaded! The last couple of months I’ve been busy making delicious recipes from blogs I follow. I’m a HUGE believer…

  • RECIPE: Crockpot Four Bean Chili

    We LOVE chili and when done in the crockpot, it allows me to throw it all together in the morning and let it cook throughout the day. The flavors have time to really come together and thicken up into a hearty dish. A few weeks back, I had posted a photo on Instagram of our homemade…
