This may be controversial, but I’ve decided that beet hummus is far superior to regular hummus. I mean, look at that color!…
Healthy Sugar Cookie Granola
Last week my son was at camp, but my daughter Abby stayed home with me. At first she was super bummed that she didn’t have camp, but I told her we could have “Mommy Camp” and do fun things together instead. As a result, we had a great week together! We spent time at a local bookstore, went for a long hike at Hanging Rock, NC, cooked a delicious dinner together, and developed a fun new recipe — Sugar Cookie Granola! …

Peaches and Cream Popsicles
It’s the middle of July, which means it’s extremely hot outside and you’re constantly in search of cool treats. You could buy popsicles full of sugar and dyes, OR you could make these creamy, refreshing Peaches and Cream Popsicles and enjoy the delightful summery taste of fresh, ripe peaches! They contain only four ingredients, and you don’t even have to get the blender dirty. Easy AND delicious — my kind of recipe!

Breakfast Cookies
Being a parent to two young kids is no joke. Mornings have become a divide-and-conquer task as we get both kids ready for school. When I have time, I prefer to make smoothies or oatmeal, but both of those must be fed to Luke (or cleaned off of the floor and walls later), which takes up my time when I need to be doing Abby’s hair or making the coffee. I needed something healthier than a handful of Cheerios that Luke could feed himself while I do other things in the kitchen. My solution was to create these delicious, nutrient-dense Breakfast cookies, and I gotta say, they’re pretty fantastic! …

Blueberry Muffin Bliss Balls
I don’t know about you, but I’ve recently realized that my mom duties include being a full-time chauffeur now that I have a school-aged child. Having to rush out the door multiple times each day can make it difficult to plan and prepare nutritious snacks, and the packaged bars almost always have something gross in them (whey powder! palm oil! Ew.).
Once a week I try to let Abby help me make a snack that will last a few days and get her excited about being in the kitchen. Enter, bliss balls! Abby loves coming up with new flavors to try, and so far my favorites are these Blueberry Muffin Bliss Balls!…

Caramel Apple Bread
Happy Fall, everyone! To celebrate my favorite season, I decided to create a sweet caramel apple bread that will fill your home with the fall aromas of baked apples and cinnamon. And to top it off, I added date caramel to make it extra special. Oh man. This cake bread is so good, you’d never guess that it’s vegan, gluten-free, and oil free!…

Oil-free Tortilla Chips
Due to some inflammation in my joints in the past couple of months, I’ve decided to get back to being 100 percent on my plant-pure diet. This means no oily veggies and dressings at restaurants, no goat cheese on salads, no more caffeine, and no added sugars. I’m not going to lie — it’s tough sometimes. But the key is finding good ways to substitute healthy foods for the unhealthy ones. For example, last Saturday I had some leftover Mexican ingredients (including my queso!), and I really wanted to make loaded nachos to eat while watching football. Well you can’t have nachos without tortilla chips, and all of the ones you buy are cooked in oil. I’d heard it’s easy to make your own tortilla chips in the oven, so I purchased corn tortillas and made my own. And guess what — they were great!…

Chocolate Turmeric Chewy Bars
As someone who is constantly looking for ways to consume turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits, adding it to chocolate seemed like a no-brainer. I’ve been doing mostly green smoothies and salads for the past few weeks, but eating so well hasn’t quite eliminated my craving for something sweet and chocolatey at night. So to keep from just pulling out a sugar-laden candy bar, I decided to make a nutritious chocolate bar containing dates, turmeric, and Chia seeds. The result is a chewy, satisfying chocolate bar that you can grab to knock down those cravings and combat inflammation at the same time! …

Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts
It’s finally time for Part III of my three-part series of roasted Brussels sprouts recipes, and I’ve saved the best for last! I personally love the “Cheesy” Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Ethiopian Brussels Sprouts, but these Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts are a family favorite. They’re slightly sweet, tangy, and savory — perfect for a nutritious snack or a side dish! If you try this recipe and still don’t like Brussels sprouts, I doubt you’ll ever like them. Sorry….

Pizza Cashew Cheese
A couple of weeks ago, my husband came up to me and said, “You know what you haven’t made in a long time? Cashew cheese. Can you make that pizza cashew cheese that I like?” Um . . . I’ve never made pizza cashew cheese before, but that sounded delicious! He was probably thinking of a sun-dried tomato basil version I made a long time ago, but regardless, I set out to make him a pizza version. What resulted was my new favorite cashew cheese flavor, so I had to share the recipe! …
