You know when you go to a food blog and you have to scroll FOREVER until you reach the actual recipe? Photos, pop-up ads, paragraphs about their weekend plans... Yeah I don't do that. That was one of the reasons I created this blog. I wanted everything to be quick and easy - not only [...]
There's a German restaurant up the street from my house that has the best sweet potato tots. I go there all the time just to order the tots, but for some reason it never occurred to me before to learn how to make my own. I thought it was going to be difficult, but I just [...]
I just can't get enough of these low-carb foods, you guys. I'm really wishing keto had become a thing a long time ago so I could've been enjoying guilt-free grains this whole time! In case you missed my Keto Mac and Cheese post, I recently discovered a company by the name of THIN SLIM FOODS, [...]
Years ago, I stopped eating meat due to digestive issues, which is one of the reasons I started this blog… to create and share healthy, flavorful meat-free recipes! Over time, I discovered many great alternatives out there: black beans, chickpeas, lentils, marinated tofu, and even… cauliflower! After a while, it became a fun challenge to [...]
This was my first time making Greek yogurt potato salad and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. I LOVE potato salad, but I tend to steer clear of it since it’s overloaded with mayo. I didn’t think it would taste as good with Greek yogurt, but I’m happy [...]
One of my favorite sandwiches is goat cheese and honey topped with sliced almonds. I was in the midst of adding this recipe when I started poking around the internet and came up with this apple and goat cheese bruschetta recipe that's a million times better! (Not that the sandwich isn't delish... this bruschetta just has [...]
Spinach and goat cheese phyllo triangles are one of my favorite appetizers! Typically, feta cheese is used in Spanakopita recipes, but personally, I think it tastes better with goat cheese. And goat cheese is healthier because it’s lower in calories, fat, and dairy than cow’s milk, so it’s easier for your body to digest. You're welcome [...]
The first time I tried this recipe, I didn't even know what lentils were. A friend of mine served it at a get-together, and I couldn't stop eating it. This was also the recipe that made me fall in love with goat cheese. Most lentil dip recipes use feta cheese, but my friend had used [...]
This creamy fruit dip only requires three ingredients, and takes less than 5 minutes to make. As a Los Angeles native, my friends and I go to the outdoor movies quite a bit, and we all bring snacks to share with the group. I've always wanted to bring a fruit plate along with a tasty fruit dip, but most [...]
Greek yogurt has recently become my favorite healthy mayo substitute. For those of you who've read my recipe for Greek Yogurt Potato Salad, the mixture in this recipe is very similar, and you have the option to add a dollop of Vegenaise (dairy-free mayo) since the mixture is made with 90% Greek yogurt. I recommend using gluten-free brown rice pasta for [...]
The first time I ever tried a baked brie berry bruschetta dish was about 10 years ago at the News Cafe in Miami. My friend thought it was disgusting. I thought it was life changing. Not much has changed since then. I try to avoid dairy products the majority of the time (as they can be [...]
Spinach and artichoke dip is one of those appetizers that I always order when I'm at a restaurant, but I had never attempted to make it myself until last week. After conducting a bit of research on different ingredients, I came up with this skinny spinach dip, which doesn't include any mayo or sour cream [...]
Making your own hummus is so easy! All you need are chickpeas (garbanzo beans), olive oil, lemon juice, and a few spices. Most hummus recipes include garlic cloves, but they tend to be very overpowering in flavor (even for someone like me who loves garlic.) So I prefer to use garlic powder along with a [...]
Corn tamales are one of my favorite dishes to order at Mexican restaurants. There are a lot of recipes for sweet corn tamale cakes, but most of them contain dairy and use mayonnaise for the sauce. So I came up with this recipe that's really easy to make and contains minimal (and all dairy-free) ingredients. I also [...]
