Coconut Blondie Bars
A perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack. I’ve mentioned that baking is definitely not my strong suit and based on my recipe archives, it’s pretty clear that I don’t do much of it. Which is why recently, my daughter dramatically professed how scarred she is by the lack of baked goods in our house and continued…
Read MoreAsparagus White Bean Avocado Salad
This salad is pretty glorious. First, it is a layered masterpiece in both the flavor and texture departments. The tender, slightly bitter arugula is tossed with creamy white beans, crispy roasted asparagus, peppery radish, buttery avocado, and topped with toasted pine nuts for added crunch. On the nutrition front, this salad is a winner, since…
Read MoreSweet Potato Fries with Avocado Dipping Sauce
I’m crazy for anything with sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are such a versatile food that’s delicious baked, mashed or my favorite, french fries. These fries are caramelized and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and they’re loaded with vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber. Because sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, they beckon to…
Read MoreCreamy Chickpea Chowder
I panic at the thought of soup season coming to a close. Before it officially ends, I strongly encourage you to try this one. I mean, who doesn’t love a big steamy bowl of creamy, salty, sweet, chunky chowder? To be honest, I don’t even care what temperature it might be outside, I could eat…

This smoothie is simultaneously cleansing & hydrating. I love to drink smoothies year round, but if you tend to think of them as a warm weather beverage, this winter number is about to change your mind. Sweet, refreshing and satisfying, drinking this breakfast delight is like a vacation for your taste buds. Banana and blueberries are…
Read MoreTex-Mex Potato Skins
Who doesn’t love a great potato skin? So crispy and satisfying, and I’m an absolute sucker for this fresh and clean filling that’s loaded with black beans, juicy tomatoes, cilantro, green onions all spiked with lime juice, cumin, and chili powder, (which gives it a subtle kick). Truth be told, I often make this protein-packed…
Read MoreHearty Mushroom Lentil Bolognese
I promise you won’t miss the meat in this sauce. I know some of you might be hyperventilating at just the mere thought of a meatless pasta sauce. But yes, I went there. This recipe uses mushrooms and lentils for a high fiber immune-boosting twist. It’s an easy to make and super delicious plant-based dinner that…
Read MoreSesame Chickpea Chopped Salad
It’s official. I am crazy for cabbage. I don’t know about you, but I love to juice it, mix it into my rice, toss it in curries and soups and I especially love cabbage in a salad. Since I’m always looking for new things to do with cabbage, I was absolutely thrilled to whip-up this…
Read MoreItalian Sweet Potato Soup
It’s freezing here in Maine, friends. Which makes me so happy to share this soup with you right now. Kicked up with Italian herbs, it’s warming and satisfying but not the least bit heavy. Plus, what I love most about this soup is that you can dress it up any way you’d like. Don’t get…
Read MoreKale, Clementine & Feta Salad
This salad is the holiday hero we need. Eggnog and cookies may get all the glory, but even the most indulgent holiday feast requires balance. Enter salad: the bright side dish you didn’t know you needed until that first refreshing bite. With its stunning good looks and bright tangy taste, it’s easy to see why…
