Souped Up Guacamole

Dear Avocado, You make diary free not miserable, you add amazing flavor to enchiladas, you work for every meal and snack times in between.  You go on toast, on eggs, as guacamole, with orange slices…I have to stop before I drool on my keyboard. Like many of you, I adore avocado.  The moral of this …

Berry Overnight Oats

I realized it has been a while since I made a post about oatmeal.  Now you might ask, well what is so great about oatmeal?  Umm only everything.  I am not talking about boring old oatmeal.  I am talking about flavorful, filling, and creamy overnight oats.  This berry version is a lot like having berries …

Sweet Potato Nachos

Those of you sweeties paying attention may notice a trend going on here of Tex-Mex with a twist.  Now if you have a problem with this, I am not sorry what so ever.  I love it.  It is delicious.  It is mostly nutritious.  It is also fairly easy.  It is easy to make for one …

Tex-Mex Baked Potatoes

I feel a little silly calling this a recipe to be honest.  It is really so simply you may kick yourself for not thinking of it sooner.  Or maybe I am just a little bit nutty and will use any excuse for a baked potato.  Now you can make this meal with other non-vegetarian protein …

Basil Zoodle Salad

Does this happen to anyone else where you are supposed to be doing responsible things like cleaning and going to the gym but end up tinkering with recipes in the kitchen instead?  No?  Just me?  Well ok then.  This was my Sunday morning.  I had a plan.  It was a good plan.  It failed when …

Coconut Curry Chicken – The Easy Way

This is one of those rare posts that links directly to another, not just references but is sort of co-dependent with it.  I used the cabbage steak recipe as the base for this dish instead of rice and it was beyond delightful.  The noodle like texture of the cabbage made a great vehicle for the …

Cabbage Steaks -How to Make Vegetables, Delectable

Tis the season of well seasonal eats.  Everyone has a CSA subscription or plans trips to the farmer’s market.  Both are amazing for fresh, local vegetables.  This can mean a glut of a specific kind of vegetable, because things do typically ripen in short periods of time.  This time, I was the happy beneficiary of …

Pan Fried Plantains

Calling this a recipe feels like lying.  I mean there are like two steps and three ingredients.  It is simple, quick, and scrumptious.  I discovered I loved plantains while on the Whole30 challenge and now they are positively a staple in my house.  Just keep in mind that you will buy them one week to …

Tropical Creamy Smoothie

It is not secret I have an addiction to smoothies.  This year I got a new NutriBullet for Christmas and it is no exaggeration to state I have used it every day since I got it.  Most of my smoothies have a green base (spinach or kale depending), one other vegetable, fruit, sometimes a nut …

Ginger Peanut Vegetable Slaw

This recipe was inspired by my Thai Peanut Chicken Satays, a recipe I found on Pinterest for zucchini noodles, and the vegetables in my fridge.  I had a craving for peanut sauce, a need to bring a dish to share for a New Year’s Eve party, and a bunch of seemingly random vegetables in my …
