With the Superbowl right around the corner, you won’t want to miss this recipe! I found myself craving chili the other day, probably because of the cold weather and because I was in need of some comfort food, but in my family, you can’t eat chili with cornbread! That began my search for a vegan, gluten-free cornbread recipe. Since I

10 minutes and a blender Yup, that’s all the time you need for this recipe! I go through phases of loving hummus, and I am definitely in that phase right now. I always recommend hummus to my clients as it has protein, fat, and fiber and is really tasty with veggies, making it perfect for snacking or an addition to

I’M OBSESSED WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS! If you’ve ever had dinner with me between the months of October and march, you KNOW that there’s usually an extra side of crispy Brussels sprouts somewhere on the table. I love Brussels sprouts roasted, seared, shredded, raw… pretty much anything you can do to them! Winter is here, and so are the holidays! Two

Brussels sprouts make for my favorite Thanksgiving side dish. This year we’ve got this maple brussles sprouts salad that we’re featuring for our Thanksgiving dishes (there will be more coming!). What we love about about this dish is the combination of sweet and savory that this recipe combines. It’s also got added protein due to the additional nuts we added

We love comfort food! Except this comfort food has had a healthy makeover! This easy mushroom risotto is made with cauliflower rice instead of real rice. We love real rice too but it’s nice to have a change of pace. This dish can be used for any main dish, side dish, or snack- and feel free to add cheese too

Love mashed potatoes? You’ll probably love these (I hope!). I first tried these in Paris, and at first I was TOTALLY weirded out about them, but when I tried them, it was love at first bite. Here’s how the story went… I was in Paris and was asking for some veggies. I was denied “veggies” but was offered this mash

I really love pasta. As a kid pasta was my favorite food. This is pretty close, although not totally on target… it’s not far off. In fact, I feel like it’s the best version of the “alternatives.” For me, zucchini noodles are too wet, and gluten free pasta is too heavy, so I like to use this spaghetti squash instead

We love easy green veggie recipes, this time it’s all about broccolini. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time making broccolini, but it’s EASY and fast. Broccoli in general is loaded with anti-cancer, healthful nutrients that can really work to promote natural detoxification, liver health, gut health and more. Sometimes we get stuck in a cooking rut and stick

Hello fries! And these aren’t terrible for you either (double win). I love these fries, they’re easy to make, and super delicious. They’re also loaded with healthy immune-boosting properties like vitamins A and C and anti-cancer beta carotene and anthocyanin (especially in this purple potato!). Sweet potatoes are also a source of satisfying fiber too. This weekend, a chilly fall

I’m obsessed with this spinach. On our most recent trip to Italy I must have eaten 15+ plates of spinach (yes, LOL)… not because it’s a “good for you” food, but because I was obsessed with how it tasted and how it was cooked. I’m still working on perfecting this recipe but it’s not far from there, so I wanted

Yummy, easy veggies are totally up my alley. I’ve been on a lectin-free kick (lectins are basically the protective covering on some fruits and vegetables as well as nuts and seeds, that can contribute to inflammation in the body- more coming on this soon!), and I feel so much better. So, in search of exciting and new lectin-free veggies, I

Ever since I went to Italy I’ve been obsessed with eggplant (growing up I just wasn’t so much- for no reason, but it wasn’t a mainstay in my house growing up).Like absolutely obsessed. I know it’s a nightshade and isn’t right for everyone, but if you can have it- at least here and there, and you make it right, it’s

We love beets! Look no further, we’ve got you covered right here with this delicious Balsamic Glazed Roasted Beets (with pistachios and pomegranate seeds) dish. Beets are great for us for a number of reasons- like for example they’re a source of anti-inflammatory compounds like anthocyanin, and they’re also a source of various vitamins and minerals like energizing b vitamins,

As a child if you asked me what my favorite holiday food was, my answer certainly would have been cranberry sauce- and it’s still one of my favorites. But yikes! It’s LOADED with sugar! I don’t think I ever realized how much sugar was in cranberry sauce (or maybe I ignored it). So this year I was determined to make

Fall is here! And so are the holidays, two of my favorite things. One of my least favorite things however is the crazy holiday food that comes along with this joyous season- loaded with sugar, calories, and a lot of guilt for so many of us. Many of the holiday foods at Thanksgiving and beyond can be heavy, when they

A roasted carrot and avocado salad that you can enjoy either cool or warm! Lately I’ve been totally obsessed with roasted carrots- on everything. They’ve shown up as a means for dipping hummus, in salads, and even on their own- I just love them. Carrots often get a bad wrap for having so “too much sugar”- but frankly, there’s many
