This burrito bowl is one of my favorite lunch dishes, and it's so simple to throw together. You're welcome to use any kind of cheese for the topping. My personal favorite topping is crumbled goat cheese, but shredded light cheddar or part-skim mozzarella are both great choices, and those on a vegan diet can use [...]
This quinoa tabbouleh salad is a little different from your average tabbouleh because: A) I use quinoa instead of bulgur for it's nutritional values. (Low glycemic, gluten-free packed with fiber!) B) I use chopped spinach instead of parsley, and add diced cucumbers and crumbled goat cheese for additional flavor. C) I like to serve it [...]
These zucchini pizza boats are the perfect light, healthy meal, and they only require 6 ingredients to make! It's hard sometimes to come up with recipes that don't include heavy grains, so I love recipes like this where you can substitute a vegetable for bread or pasta. (I also love making recipes with heirloom tomatoes this [...]
Ah, black beans. I have so many good things to say about them. They're packed with protein... high in fiber... great for your digestive tract... I could go on and on. For these black bean burritos, you can use any tortilla of your choice. My favorite tortillas for these are the wheat and corn flour tortillas [...]

For [...]
This Thanksgiving wrap is completely dairy-free and meat-free, so it's perfect for those on a vegetarian or vegan diet! How many of you love Thanksgiving? Is your favorite part about Thanksgiving the side dishes? Mashed potatoes... stuffing... cranberry sauce... Yeah, me too. I always want to buy those little Thanksgiving wraps you see in stores, [...]
So, I'm house sitting in London right now. And apparently, Londoners like to make their own mayonnaise. I assume this because when I arrived, there was a mayonnaise recipe hanging up in the kitchen, and a hand written note telling me to help myself to their food, and that the homemade mayo will be good for another [...]
Sometimes, the simplest things in life are the best... I love this veggie sandwich on whole wheat bagel thins (sandwich thins work too!) with Dijon mustard and a dash of Vegenaise. You can also use hummus and make it a hummus sandwich, or use a whole wheat tortilla and make it a wrap. So many [...]
So here's the thing with my grilled caprese sandwich recipe... I use spinach leaves instead of basil. To me, spinach tastes wayyy better, not to mention all the healthy goodness in spinach leaves. However, if you're a basil lover, please feel free to use basil instead of spinach. (I also grill both sides of the bread, [...]
