I’ve been experimenting with cooking with Indian spices lately, so I’ve developed a love for cardamom. To me, it makes every sweet dish a little more decadent and interesting. That’s why I created this Cardamom Stewed Banana Porridge!…
Blood Orange Muffins
Every winter I get super excited when I see blood oranges in the produce section. If I see them, I have to buy a few. They look like regular oranges with a little red blush on the skin, but when you open them up, they’re a gorgeous crimson. I prefer them because they’re sweeter than regular oranges and typically just contain one or two seeds. I like to add them to fruit salad, squeeze some of the juice into hibiscus tea, or add them to baked goods, like my citrus tea cookies, or . . .

Cornbread Taco Casserole
I’ll admit, this is the most excited I’ve been about a recipe in a while. I haven’t had much time to spend experimenting in the kitchen lately, thanks to the craziness of the holidays, but now I’m back on the health train (and thus, back in the kitchen!). Last night I threw this cornbread taco casserole together after seeing a not-even-close-to-vegan version on Facebook, and my family loved it! I’m thinking this recipe will be added to our dinner rotation!…

10-Minute Cream of Mushroom Soup
As a mom, I totally understand the need for expedience in the kitchen. I’d love to say my family lives off of homemade casseroles and fancy dishes, but I’m a real human being who, believe it or not, does not live in the kitchen. Regardless, feeding my family well is still a high priority, so getting takeout can’t always be my go-to option. Solution? Quick, nutritious soups that even my toddler will eat! Last week I posted my 10-Minute Roasted Tomato Soup, and this week it’s a 10-Minute Cream of Mushroom Soup. Mmmmmm . . . …

10-Minute Roasted Tomato Soup
Happy fall, everyone!
As I mentioned in my last post, it’s time for me to return to posting soup recipes since the weather will be turning cold soon. And just to ease you into making soup again, I decided to start with a super quick, super easy roasted tomato soup that tastes like it took an hour to make!…

Coconut Cashew Granola Bars
It’s starting to feel like fall here in Winston, and I couldn’t be more excited! Fall is my absolute favorite season, and it always seems like the shortest. Just the smell of the crisp fall air makes me think of cool family walks, going to the fair, playing in piles of leaves, and eating bowls of hot soup.
But before I get back to sharing soup recipes, I wanted to post my newest — and now favorite — granola bar recipe: Coconut Cashew Granola Bars! My new obsession is coconut manna/butter, which is different from coconut oil in that it’s a whole food — pureed coconut meat. It adds a natural coconut flavor and richness to desserts, granola, and granola bars, and I can’t get enough of it! Combine it with the cashews, buckwheat, and other crunchy ingredients in this granola bar, and you have a nutritious breakfast or snack that tastes like a dessert!…

Zucchini Brownies
If you know a dietitian personally, you’ve probably witnessed her (or him) using her food knowledge to justify whatever she’s eating. You may have heard her say, “Oatmeal helps prevent colon cancer, so I should probably eat these oatmeal cookies.” Or maybe she’s said, “Red grapes contain resveratrol, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant. So yes, I’d like another glass of wine.” Or you’ve heard the weakest, but probably most commonly used, justification — “Chocolate contains antioxidants!” So for those of you who like to have your cake and justify it too, here is the perfect dessert: Zucchini Brownies! …

Cucumber Bites with Lemon Dill Ricotta
If you live in the Southeast and aren’t doing any gardening this summer, you’re really missing out! We’ve had afternoon rain showers almost daily, which have kept my vegetable garden quite happy. I planted my garden late this year because we had our garden boxes rebuilt and more organic soil brought in, delaying everything. But for whatever reason, the plants love the new soil and the weeds don’t. I’m so happy! …

PSA: Carrot Dogs Are Delicious
I used to joke with my husband that I was going make him carrot dogs, as if putting a carrot in a bun would be the saddest and most pitiful meat substitution in the vegan world. It was not until I received the latest PlantPure Nation newsletter, which praised the carrot dog, did I realize that carrot dogs are more than just placing a carrot in a bun and adding toppings. …
