tacos – hold the meat, MSG, and preservatives
Check out the new blog here Taco seasoning packets scare me. Have you ever read the ingredients or nutrition facts label on one? Here is the ingredients list in a popular brand of taco seasoning packet: Chili pepper, Salt, Maltodextrin, Spice, Onion Powder, Corn Starch, Yellow Corn Flour, Contains less than 2%: Partially Hydrogenated Soybean […]
i heart roasted veggies
April 6, 2012
It’s safe to say I am obsessed with roasted vegetables. I talk a lot about them with my clients {and anyone else who wants to listen}. It’s one of the easiest ways to get people to actually eat veggies. When they are roasted, they just taste so amazing; plus you can roast so many different […]
eat your veggies at breakfast
April 4, 2012
Back in January, I talked about 5 different health goals that you should strive toward doing for this year. The first one was eating more vegetables and fruit. The third was to eat breakfast, and the fifth was to get enough sleep. {Read about the other two here and here} Well, this recipe helps you […]
I love quinoa
March 30, 2012
Quinoa {pronounce keen-wah} is one of my favorite grains! It is a whole grain, and you don’t have to go out searching for the whole wheat version – it’s already “whole wheat.” I like to buy it from the bulk bins at Whole Foods; it can get a little pricey when you buy it from […]
cheesy bean casserole
March 23, 2012
Check out the new blog here The end of March is in sight, so I feel like my window to post warm casserole recipes is closing. Therefore, I’m going to try to squeeze in a few more before it gets too hot to even think about turning on the oven. And since it’s a Friday […]
salsa that makes everything taste tropical
February 18, 2012
Mangoes remind me of tropical scenes, and it’s February – the exact opposite of tropical in my opinion. But for some reason, mangoes were on sale the other day. I am a sucker for fruits and vegetables on sale, so of course I bought 3. One can only eat so much mango, so I decided […]
really good avocado pasta
February 15, 2012
Remember Jump Rope for Heart? I used to love it; instead of school I got to jump rope and just play with my friends. When you’re 8, what’s not to love about that? If my memory serves me right, I think it was always around this time of year, possibly because February is Heart Health […]
four-cheese stuffed mushrooms
February 3, 2012
Looking for another appetizer recipe to bring to your Super Bowl party? How about some cheesy stuffed mushrooms? The great thing about this appetizer is that it doesn’t taste healthy, and it’s full of vegetables! If you like mushrooms, you need to make this recipe! Even if you aren’t making anything for a Super Bowl […]
microwave potato chips
January 18, 2012
Microwaving potatoes to get potato chips sounds strange, but it really works! You can make your own potato chips by microwaving sliced potatoes – genius! The best part about it is that it actually tastes like a crispy, real potato chip. One of my biggest pet peeves about making “baked” potato chips is that they […]
my first “real kitchen” salad
January 6, 2012
Check out the new blog here In the summer before my senior year of college, I lived in Nashville with two of my friends. We rented a nice little 3 bedroom apartment that had a “real kitchen.” Did I say real kitchen? What I meant was a space with barely enough room for one person […]
dinner when you just don’t feel like cooking
January 4, 2012
Some days, I am just not in the mood to cook or even think about what I’m going to have for dinner. I’m secretly wishing one of my friends will call to invite me over for dinner or see if I want to go out for a bite to eat… Most of the time, I […]
a new take on an old snack
December 16, 2011
I like to snack, and I think snacking is very important. I’d get too hungry if I didn’t snack some between meals. My typical snacks are things like fruit or yogurt or vegetables or something along those lines. I really like edamame because it is green (a veggie yay!), and it has protein. I’ve even […]

November 3, 2011
Happy National Sandwich Day!! Let’s make Philly Cheese Steaks & make them vegetarian. We’ll make our own rolls, too! This is another recipe from one of my favorite blogs, Peas and Thank You. There are so many delicious recipes on there, even if you don’t want to eat vegetarian or vegan! This recipe is vegetarian, […]
slow-cooker lentil soup
October 25, 2011
I love fall for so many reasons, and I love making soup this time of year! It’s easy to make, perfect for warming you up, and makes your house smell so good! Soup is also filling and can be healthy. I apologize because I will probably be posting a lot more soup recipes throughout the fall and […]
a different kind of taco
October 20, 2011
It can be really hard to convince people that tofu is good, but if you cook it right, it can actually taste great! No worries, I’m not about to try to convince you to become a vegan or vegetarian even. I refuse to give up (uncured) bacon thank.you.very.much. But it’s Vegetarian Awareness Month, so here […]
the most amazing pesto ever!
October 18, 2011
Oh.my.gosh! If you like pesto (or even if you don’t), then you have to make this! In celebration of National Pasta Month as well as Vegetarian Awareness Month, I made this pesto from a vegan blog – Oh She Glows. It is amazing! You really, really need to make it. Non-vegan eaters will enjoy it, […]
