Roasted Pablano Hummus (Vegan+GF)
Wow, who would have imagined we’d be in April 2020 with current conditions being what they are? Hey, but we can still have snacks so I’m making hummus and all kinds of other things so I don’t go insane. One of the most downright annoying things as a recipe creator is when the final result of a recipe looks nothing like the title. I mean, when you think of pablanos you picture that rich, dark green color right? Yeah, well when blended into a hummus the color stays basically the same as any other hummus. Now the flavor of the roasted peppers is a whole different story. With the flavor…

Easy White Bean Herb & Vegetable Soup (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a very grey week so far and I’m feeling like a warm comforting soup is in order today. Well, if the recent state of grocery shelves are any indication, there are a lot of people with a lot of beans right now. Hey, I’m not complaining about it, I think it’s pretty awesome actually. Beans are an extremely healthy staple food that seem to get ignored under most circumstances. Let’s just count it as one of the positive side-effects from this crazy time, beans finally getting the appreciation they deserve. Another positive side-effect is that way more people are in their kitchens cooking instead of eating out all…

Crunchy Oatmeal Peanut Butter Granola (Vegan+GF)
So, it’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a granola recipe. With everything going on right now and everyone having so much time on their hands it feels like a great time to try some new recipes. I must admit I’m already going a little stir-crazy and being in the kitchen keeps me from losing it. Leave a comment if you can’t stand sitting still very long either. Okay, Granola is one of my major weaknesses. Seriously, it’s dangerous for me to have it around because I can eat way to much of it. My sister makes fun of me because I also can’t eat it like a normal…

Roasted Red Pepper Chickpea Quiche (Vegan+GF)
Well, 2020 is definitely not what we expected to say the least. I’m sort of in the first few days of self-quarantine and it’s already making me crazy. I have the biggest sympathies for everyone who’s being affected by this but I am happy to see lots of people trying to keep things light. The best meme going around the internet is probably the one asking whoever started playing Jumanji to go ahead and finish the game already. Okay, I have this thing where I get inspired to try something totally new and different, I buy all of the ingredients, and then…….yeah nothing. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only…

Blackberry Activated Charcoal Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m back from Hawaii but I’m still craving all the fruit. So charcoal in a smoothie, health benefit or aesthetic benefit? Let’s be real, it’s both. Ever since I started taking food photos I’ve definitely loved jumping on any visually captivating health trends. It’s not just for looks though. Charcoal has a lot of reasons to be consumed aside from it’s striking color. I remember my mom using it when my youngest sister was born because it’s great for helping relieve gas in infants. Another benefit, it’s great at filtering toxins. Have you ever used one of those nifty water-filtering pitchers, yeah well those have charcoal in them. It has…

Plant-Powered Oat Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
Okay, tell me if you do this too…. You’re walking down the protein bar aisle slightly holding your breath because you’re so hoping that the one or two brands that aren’t complete trash happen to be on sale. Then you check the price and realize that even if they were on sale they’re still a little pricey for you to be buying on a regular basis. Then you console yourself by realizing that unless you’re traveling or extremely short on time they really aren’t the best option. Am I the only one? Maybe it’s just me. I do know that there are some really delicious options for making protein packed…

Cookie Dough Rawnola (Vegan+GF)
Wow, January is over already? That was so fast! I have a feeling the rest of the year isn’t going to be any slower, but I’m kind of wishing there was a pause button. You know, so we could get our lives together a little bit. I don’t know, maybe that’s part of the beauty of life, that none of us know what we’re doing. What I do know is that 2020 has plenty of space for all the healthy treats. This being one of my favorites lately. Now before I tell you about the recipe maybe some disclaimers are in order. Again, this is 2020 and things aren’t the…
