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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
