Easy Maple Walnut Granola with Blueberry Sauce

This is not only simple and you can do it in the crock pot or in the oven. I always prefer the crock pot because its low maintenance for me. However, feel free to use the oven and place on a baking sheet.

I love this combo because I’m always looking for a bit more flavor in my yogurt and I love jam but with the sugar content I’m hesitant to use it so I made this little blueberry syrup as an alternative and all l can say is….. GAME CHANGER! I really added so much to the dish without all the sugar!

Gut Healthy Dal with Grain Free "Naan" bread

Ok, you guys I may have made one of the most amazing lentil recipes yet for me and my fam! We're on day 3 now and its a huge hit and SO filling! Usually my husband needs meat in addition to anything vegan I make but this time he's loving it as much as I do! I also paired it with some delicious grain free, naan bread! Ok, so my husband calls them pancakes but they are much more dense and I cut them into quarters and served them with the dal and my, oh my they are fantastic! I consider them a mix taste-wise between corn bread, a pancake, and bread. My husband just says they are pancakes but you be the judge! Either way, they add to the texture, and keep this recipe grain free, dairy free, gluten free, and all the other buzz words. AND they are natural meaning made with REAL FOOD!

Split Pea Soup (V) (GF)

This is one of my favorite recipes and I LOVE making this in the fall to warm my belly. I may have started the process early because I was craving it in August but we had a cool week here in Denver and really put me in the mood for warm soul food.

This recipe is very simple and I love to use my crock pot for this recipe. It makes life easy for me the more I can use my crockpot. I've tried every type of "healthy" vegan split pea soup - normally it comes it with ham - and this one is soooooo incredibly creamy and smooth AND contains NO dairy! How amazing is that?

VEGAN Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

If you can't tell by looking at my blog I LOVE desserts. More importantly, I LOVE chocolate and cookie dough. However, if I'm going to eat cookie dough, I'm going to make it healthy because I really want more than what I should have and I know my limits! Once I start into it, I lose it. So its better to know I'm eating "healthy" versions to keep my health in check!

Paleo Baked Chicken Tenders

According to my husband, these turned out quite well! It was a dabble in trying to create more "meat" friendly recipes. Clearly as you can see by reading my blog and recipes that I do not eat meat, however that doesn't mean I don't prepare it. My husband is a huge fan of all types of meat, poultry and I do make it for him on the reg! This recipe was inspired by him wanting to eat chicken fingers - don't ask me why he had a craving but he was ready to order from the kids menu using our baby as an excuse to eat them! Rather than him going that route, I decided I needed to try a new chicken recipe - and a healthy one at that - to help him satisfy his cravings:)

Super Charged Pomegranate Pistachio Smoothie Bowl

This particular bowl I added some potent super foods, plant protein and also managed to squeeze in some greens! Super easy! Just add to the blender, blend, top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

Let’s talk about the gooiest cookie you ever did see or TASTE! If you want a delectable and healthy variation with whole foods and REAL ingredients then you may want to give these a try! Gluten Free - Paleo

Garlic Shrimp & Rice

A cauliflower and brown rice blend to appease my paleo and carb eaters alike. Certainly can go all in on either the cauliflower or brown rice but I really like this blend! So many flavors and so filling! I hope you enjoy!

Mango Turmeric Super Smoothie

I'm always looking for new smoothie ideas and I love the idea of adding turmeric to a smoothie I just wanted to figure out a way to mask the taste without adding loads of sugar! The reason I like to use turmeric is because it is one of many ways to reduce inflammation in the body. And why would one want to do that? Because inflammation is the main cause for most of the problems we have going on in our bodies.

Vegan Lentil Pasta with Almond Tumeric Slaw

Some days I feel like more than others and today I just wanted something healthy and fast. I scurried through the cabinets and found I had this bag of lentil pasta. And when I say lentil pasta, I mean made from straight lentils. So, protein and nutrient rich and also, very dense! It is one of my favorites when I want a hearty and filling meal that's going to satisfy me for the entire evening. Well it does that and then some. Unlike traditional pasta, lentil pasta doesn't have the sugar and processed ingredients so you don't end up feeling hungry 2 hours later. So not only is it a great filler but it's easy to add in some veggies and whip up a meal that is macro nutrient dense.

Lemon Roasted Salmon & Cauliflower

I was majorly craving salmon and veggies today. Its not uncommon for this craving to happen and I ALWAYS have veggies on hand to ensure I'm getting my daily dose. Tonight was no exception and I had some frozen salmon and cauliflower and fresh broccoli florets. I decided I needed both and that would require a little bit of prep.

Get ready to wow your tastebuds with some zing and zang!

Mint Chocolate Vegan Smoothie

I love smoothies and frankly nothing makes me happier than creating something new and smoothies make it so fun and easy to change up the flavor to keep your taste buds guessing. I had a major craving for chocolate – this is nothing new – so rather than just make a plain ole chocolate smoothie I added some kick with a bit of mint and it was exactly I was imagining and sparked some jazz for my taste buds!
