  • RECIPE: Maple Crunch Granola {Oil-Free}

    We LOVE granola, but it’s a struggle to find one we can eat without spending an arm and a leg.  Making your own not only saves you money, but you can also easily change up the flavor and texture. This time around, I was on a mission to create one that was not only full of flavor,…

  • RECIPE: Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

    One of my favorite snacks would have to be roasted chickpeas because the flavor combinations are endless, they’re packed with protein, and are so easy to make. We’ve made them spicy, sweet, and “cheezy” – but this might be my favorite one yet. These are great on their own or with some banana nice cream or yogurt.…

  • RECIPE: Homemade Refried Beans

    Our absolute favorite night of the week is Taco Tuesday! It’s become a little tradition of ours this past year to create some form of vegan tacos each week – and they usually involve refried beans. We used to take the way of convenience and just buy them already made, but oh, my goodness! There…

  • RECIPE: “Ricotta” Stuffed Zucchini Boats

    We finally got a break from the hot weather last week, which meant I got the chance to use my oven a few times! Is it bad that I’m already looking forward to fall?! Baking and all things pumpkin….but anyways, on with what I’m here to write about! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve made my zucchini lasagna and…

  • RECIPE: Blueberry Overnight Oats

    I’ve never been a huge fan of oatmeal…I think it’s a texture thing, but oats are packed with so many wonderful nutrients (fiber, protein, manganese, vitamins, antioxidants) that I had to give them another shot. Back when I did have oatmeal, I remember it being mushy and plain – nothing like the fun and flavorful options out there…

  • RECIPE: Raw Tahini Cups

    It’s officially summer here in Bend, OR…and when you don’t have air conditioning, that pretty much means, no oven. My sweet tooth kicked in big time a few days ago, so rather than baking cookies, I opted to experiment with making some raw treats. Our love for tahini has grown even more over this last year,…

  • BOOK REVIEW: Superfood Juices by Julie Morris and My 3-Day Juice Detox

    Let me first say that I LOVE to eat, therefore, I do not believe in diets. In my opinion, if you lead a healthy lifestyle and take care of your body, there is no reason you need to deprive your body of food and it’s ok to indulge every now and then. I do, on the other…

  • Raw Superfood “Blizzard” Recipe

    Raw Superfood “Blizzard” Recipe

    For those who follow my blog and don’t know me personally,  I apologize for my absence – it has been a crazy few months. From house hunting, to celebrating my daughter’s 2nd birthday, to actually buying our first home, my mind has been elsewhere, but the rollercoaster of emotions has been incredible!  I put blogging on…

  • RECIPE: Protein Explosion Bites {no-bake}

    Chocolate AND peanut butter is, by far, my favorite flavor combination – in all forms – smoothies, cookies, ice cream, granola, you name it! When done in a healthier way, it makes it just that much more enjoyable! Last night I whipped up these no-bake goodies and they turned out even better than expected. The…

  • Recipe: Bliss Bowl

    Salads are usually our favorite way to load up on tons of fresh veggies, but today’s weather had me craving more of a comfort food – something hearty and warm. Before I eliminated soy from my diet, going to Café Yumm was a great, quick place to grab a meal – their Yumm Bowls were to die…
