  • 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: Cheezy Garlic Tahini Sauce

    If you know me, you know I LOVE tahini. Love might even be an understatement…more like obsessed. I use it in smoothies, cookies, dressings and much more. The recipe I’m going to share with you today is one that I’ve been making for quite some time, each time it came out a bit differently, but always…

  • RECIPE: Raw Salted Caramel Kale Chips

    I have a confession to make. Sometimes I buy products for inspiration – to recreate a delicious treat or an even cleaner, simpler beauty product. This week it was all about kale chips. It has been a LONG time since I’ve made kale chips – usually when I’m craving them, I don’t have the patience to whip…

  • 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…

  • RECIPE: Simple Cheezy Sauce

    Happy Friday! It’s been a whirlwind these last few weeks with starting speech therapy for Willow, spending some time at the coast and then we had a close friend stay with us a bit, so this post was a long time overdue. Can’t believe summer is just about over….but that means fall will be here and…

  • 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,…
