For months, I've been trying to perfect a coconut curry recipe, but I always felt like something was missing. Tofu is a great meat substitute, but for this recipe, I was looking for something else. Then one night, it hit me. Chickpeas! Chickpea curry! That's what I was looking for! For this chickpea curry, I added [...]
This was not only the first time I've ever tasted baked cauliflower tacos, but also the first time I made my own tartar sauce. The tartar sauce is made with Greek yogurt, diced dill pickle, and a dash of sea salt, but you can also substitute the Greek yogurt for Vegenaise (dairy-free mayo) if you prefer. [...]
There are two foods I love more than anything in the world: ice cream and pizza. This healthy veggie tortilla pizza is one of my favorite recipes of all time because it still gives you the delicious taste and texture of pizza, but without all the carbs and calories! You can use any type of [...]
This veggie zucchini lasagna recipe is so good you won’t even miss the meat or the pasta! And it’s much healthier than regular lasagna because it’s pasta-free (lower carbs!), and includes fat-free ricotta cheese and part-skim mozzarella cheese. Great for vegetarians or those on a gluten-free diet. I like to add fresh diced tomatoes to my [...]
This is the best idea ever! A new and improved version of your old childhood favorite... except with protein and fiber packed lentils! I'll admit, I struggle with dinner recipes. I love to snack, but when it comes to concocting healthy dinner recipes, I have to be really stoked about it. Pizza and tacos are [...]
Eating clean is all about substituting healthy ingredients for unhealthy ones. Some of my favorite subs are replacing sugar with dates, white flour with sprouted grains, pizza crust with gluten-free tortillas, cream with coconut milk, and pasta with veggies. In my zucchini lasagna recipe, I use sliced zucchini in place of lasagna noodles. But spaghetti squash is another [...]
Tofu is a great sugar-free, low calorie source of protein, but it requires quite a bit of seasoning and grilling before it achieves the perfect amount of flavor and texture. I'm one of those people who likes everything extra crispy (no mushy french fries please!), so you can see why tofu didn't appeal to me initially. By itself, tofu is [...]
I'm always looking for recipes that don't include bread, flour, pasta, or any heavy starches that can be difficult to digest, which is usually harder than it seems. Spaghetti squash and zucchini are great pasta substitutes, and stuffed squash is another healthy option, but most dinner recipes require a tortilla or bread of some sort [...]
This quinoa stuffed acorn squash is one of those recipes that makes me feel like a fancy chef, even though it's super easy to make. For a vegan version you can omit the crumbled goat cheese (I just like to top it with a small handful for a little extra flavor) and replace the honey [...]
Butternut squash ravioli is one of those entrees I always order when I see it on a restaurant's menu. Or pumpkin ravioli. And I'm not even a big pasta eater. It's just so tasty. For those of you who don't have a pasta maker (like me), the easiest way to make homemade ravioli is to use wonton [...]
I came up with this butternut squash and goat cheese pizza recipe completely by accident. I always keep tortillas, onions and goat cheese in my house, but for some reason, I had purchased a bag of sliced butternut squash earlier that day on a whim, not sure what I was going to do with it. [...]
