Most people look for toasted bread to pair with their soup. I love bread but sometimes I overdo it – and that’s not a great feeling. So, today I made my lentil soup and pair it with roasted sweet potato instead. It’s very filling, plus the sweet potato takes care of my sweet cravings. You…

I don’t normally use butter but today I used grass-fed butter to make the sauce for the casserole. I used unsweetened almond milk for the creamy sauce but you can certainly use regular milk or heavy cream. I like using brown rice rotini pasta on any pasta dish I make – but my husband is…

It gives the peppers mild and sweet flavors – they’re great to add to any salad or a side dish for any of your grains and meat. I love batch…

A quick and easy dinner today. It’s one of those days that call for whatever is left at home – be creative and make the most of what you have. This is the kind of day I’m having, but it worked out deliciously with this Chili Lime Stuffed Peppers. Making a big pot of rice…

Tempeh can absorb flavors easily. I like marinating them in tamari with sesame oil and some garlic and ginger. If you’re looking for a meat alternative, tempeh is a good source of protein and other vitamins and minerals.
