What’s perfectly tart, cashew-creamy, and has a delectable cookie crumble crust? These drool-inducing Vegan Key Lime Bars. I used to get mega cravings for the key lime pie cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. But all of the saturated fat, dairy, and added sugar would leave me feeling bloated and sluggish. These dairy-free key lime bars […]
I have not been this excited about a cookbook in a long time! Dr. Will Bulsiewicz’s (@theguthealthmd on Instagram) Fiber Fueled Cookbook is full of delicious gut-healing recipes that are perfect for the whole family. I’ve been making this tofu feta non-stop because it’s out-of-this-world delicious and contains prebiotic compounds that help to feed our […]
What ancient whole grain looks like barley, tastes delicious, and is packed with protein and fiber? Farro! I feel like farro isn’t talked about enough. It is nutty, has a perfectly chewy texture, and levels up any dish – especially a salad. Plus, it is extraordinarily nutrient-dense. This Farro Salad has so many levels of […]
Sweet corn is one of my favorite summertime foods. This may come as a surprise since corn has gotten a bad rep over the last few years. While field corn is often used to make ultra-processed foods, sweet corn has numerous health benefits. It contains a significant amount of vitamin B12, iron, and folic acid, […]
My vice is any salty, crunchy snack. Seriously, if you open a bag of potato chips near me, good luck getting away with half the bag. But that’s why I’m a big fan of pickles! They satisfy my crunch and salt cravings all in one go. I recently decided to play around with pickle salad […]

There are endless healthy and delicious soup recipes available, and soup can be perfectly satisfying. In fact, I created an entire delivered […]
Do you know that feeling when you find two different ingredients that complement each other so well it’s as if their flavors were destined to dance together in your mouth? That’s how I feel about walnut and fennel. The earthy flavor of the walnuts and the mild licorice flavor of fennel is a combination that’s […]
If you’re a fan of pesto and (vegan) cheesy goodness, this recipe is for you! Thank you for the inspiration @erekav. These Zucchini & Artichoke Bundles are as comforting as traditional homemade lasagna, but they are much healthier since they contain none of the commonly used refined flour or dairy. I love using Follow Your Heart’s vegan […]
This Warm Sorghum Salad with Trout is one of my favorite salad recipes. The protein in the form of trout is nice and light, and the dish is packed with numerous veggies like asparagus, radishes, cucumbers, and more. My favorite part of this salad is the pickled onion because it adds some unique dimension and […]
Frittatas are one of my favorite foods to eat in the springtime. They’re light and flavorful, and you can always add more of your favorite herbs and veggies. My only issue with traditional frittatas is that they contain a lot of eggs. I try to limit my egg intake because they are loaded with cholesterol. […]
