Wholy Guacamole
Avocados. They are quite amazing. Even more amazing than avocados, guacamole. Making your own guacamole may seem a little intimidating, however, it’s way more simple than you think! Here’s a pretty simple recipe I made using my food processor. It’s doable without one, but the processor makes it just so much more creamy! Ingredients 2…
Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed peppers are a fantastic food to make on a less busy day to use for lunches during the week! The key is to make them with a protein that is going to keep you full for a long time. Quinoa is your guy! You can even freeze the leftovers and use another day, or…
Real Cornbread
Cornbread is such an amazing touch to meals! (Especially chilli;) Being allergic to dairy, it’s hard to find a good recipe without it. I changed some things up in a recipe I found, and I believe it was a success! This was a dense one, and not overly sweet. I enjoyed this guy for a…
Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Stuffer
Things that make me happy…. I found purple cauliflower again!! That makes me a super happy person. Besides loving purple cauliflower, I also loves tacos. Taco salads, taco tacos, and just taco filling. So, I decided to make a mixture with cauliflower and some chickpeas for protein as a “stuffer.” This was really not difficult to…
Avocado Pesto
Presto pesto! I’d been craving pesto lately for some reason. Maybe it’s because I’ve had a basil plant flourishing in my kitchen? Or, because of my brand new food processor wanted to be used? Whatever the reason, I was going to get some! While at the store grabbing some ingredients. I was checking out some…
Thick Cut Crispy Cumin Sweet Potato Fries
Tonight I was stumped on what to make. Thank goodness I bought a huge bag of sweet potatoes the other day to help me with deciding what to make. I kind of threw this recipe together (per usual) and it turned out really damn good (if I don’t say so myself). I ate these on the side of cilantro-lime-quinoa with…
Grilled Red Potatoes
Summer times means grilling season for many of us! Grilling is a great way to cook healthy! Sadly, some cultures have created a slight problem with grilling–tending to put those unhealthy-high fat foods on the grill. Not that you can never grill a steak or sausage! But, let’s try to get those healthy foods in…
Camping with Quinoa
Summer is upon us! For many people, this means camping season! Camping is a great way to get outside, enjoy nature and explore. It oftentimes also means eating a lot of junk food…that mindless sitting+snacking combo is a very popular one at campgrounds. Also,we tend to center our meals around unhealthy foods because they’re easier…
Veggie “Fried” Quinoa and Wild Rice
Fried rice was once upon a time one of my favorite dishes at Chinese restaurants. As I’ve gotten older, maybe wiser, I don’t really eat out at these types of restaurants anymore. It’s almost impossible to find a healthy versions of these types of foods when eating out. With the crave for this dish being…
Eggplant-Squash Tomato Basil Bake
Fresh basil paired with the eggplant and squash give this baked dish an aromatic joyful flavor. I love baked vegetable recipes like this one. They’re easy to make, as most of the recipe work includes veggie cutting. This is a great topper for any kind of pasta (I use spaghetti squash) or even as a…
