As promised in my Feeding Toddlers article, here is the recipe for my Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies! Aren’t they cute? These babies are no-bake, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free. And yet, they’re mini PB & J sandwiches — like “Uncrustables” without the junk ingredients!…
Mini Cinnamon Rolls
In my previous post, Feeding Toddlers, I added a list of nutritious snacks for toddlers which included a new favorite in our household: mini cinnamon rolls!…
Feeding Toddlers
I can’t tell you how many strangers have come up to us in restaurants and told us they were amazed by what our toddler was eating — whether it was Brussels sprouts, broccoli, tofu, etc. Abby, now two years old, loves to eat. And even though I’d like to take all of the credit for her great diet, I know that parents have to work with the cards they are dealt. Some kids are naturally picky eaters, and there isn’t much parents can do about it….
Gnocchi Primavera
It’s officially spring, so naturally I’ve been craving the spring vegetables in pasta primavera. And since I prefer potatoes as my starch over pasta, I concocted this beautiful and comforting gnocchi primavera with walnut Parmesan!…
Carrot Cake Oatmeal
It’s finally feeling like springtime here in Winton-Salem, which means the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and Abby is playing outside again! After being indoors with my almost two-year-old all winter, it’s such a treat to be able to play outside and work in the garden again. …
Golden Spice Cream with Pumpkin Seed Crackle
I’ve been all about turmeric lately, so it’s only fitting that when we finally had a hint of warm weather, I decided to make turmeric and ginger ice cream — spice cream, if you will. And since I’ve been loving my golden milk almost every night, why not use the same flavors to make a deliciously creamy dessert?
This golden spice cream is unlike any ice cream flavor you’ve ever tried, yet it’s so rich and satisfying. The addition of coconut cream makes it so thick, my husband compared it to custard! You won’t miss the dairy, I promise….
Big Bean Salad With Broccolini & Dijon-dill Dressing
I love beans so much that I decided to share the recipe for this delicious big bean salad with broccolini and Dijon-dill dressing I whipped up last week. I call it the big bean salad because I don’t want to single out a specific bean, but for salads I prefer the big beans you can easily spear to the tiny ones you end up chasing around the plate with your fork. Top this beautiful salad with my Dijon-dill dressing, and you veggie lovers will be in heaven! You may even find yourself dipping the beans in the leftover dressing for a quick snack! …
Cookie Dough Dip
With Super Bowl 50 less than 2 weeks away, it’s time to start planning your Super Bowl menu. I know, I know, you’ll probably just order a pizza and some wings, but why not have at least one nutritious menu item? And why not serve a secretly nutritious dessert, like this delicious cookie dough dip??? …
Mexican Tortilla Soup
Happy Friday! To make sure you have a great weekend, I’m sharing this awesome Mexican tortilla soup recipe that would be a perfect football-watching meal! You’re welcome 🙂 …
Creamy Kale & Artichoke Dip
For Christmas I received Tal Ronnen’s new book, Crossroads, which is a beautiful cookbook full of vegan recipes that he uses in his L.A.-based restaurant. Ronnen’s dishes are colorful, creative, and inspiring — but hardly “plant pure.” Some of the dishes are fried, and almost all of them contain olive oil. And although some people may be into hunting down impossible-to-find ingredients such as black garlic and Kite Hill vegan cheeses (probably only available in California), others of us prefer simple dishes that don’t require an ingredient scavenger hunt.
One recipe that inspired me was his “Warm Kale and Artichoke Dip.” Instead of using store-bought vegan cream cheese or Daiya shreds, he used cashew cream and wine to add richness to this classic appetizer. I thus decided to alter his recipe to make it healthier and simpler to make, and WOW. This recipe is a keeper!…
Easy Moroccan Lentil Stew
Happy New Year!!! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are ready for a new year of healthy choices 🙂
Trying to make better food choices this year? I suggest checking out last year’s post, How to Pack a Lunch For Work, for some healthy lunch ideas.
If you’re new to eating a plant-based diet, or if you’re someone who likes flavor but doesn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen making dinner, I highly recommend you try this Moroccan lentil stew! …
Peppermint Meringue Cookies (Vegan!)
When I was in elementary school, my favorite book to check out from the library was Roald Dahl’s Revolting Recipes, which contained recipes with titles such as, “Snozzcumbers,” “Fresh Mudburgers,” and “Bruce Bogtrotter’s Cake.” My absolute favorite, however, was a dessert called “Stickjaw for Talkative Parents,” which was simply a batch of meringue cookies with a chewy caramel inside each.
Thus began my love for meringue cookies. …
