This is one of my all time favorite lunches, breakfasts…or snacks! Amazing really any time. I’m a huge fan of avocado and often find it to be a misunderstood fruit. Some people are afraid of avocado thinking it contains too much fat. Yes, it does contain fat – but fat that is good for you!…

BRUSSELS SPROUT FARRO SALAD
With all this snow these days, I’ve been on a big Brussels sprout kick lately. It’s such a great cold weather vegetable and is often underestimated by many. The key with Brussels sprouts is to cook them correctly. Roasting is a fantastic way to bring out the best flavor, transforming them into these sweet and…
TURMERIC LEMON GINGER DRINK
I love this drink first thing in the morning, especially on chilly days. This is a fantastic detoxifying drink that helps remove toxins, contains lots of antioxidants, enhances digestion and boosts immunity! What a great way to start the day!
OYSTER MUSHROOM PASTA SOUP
Here’s another brown rice pasta recipe! The foundation of this dish is Heidi Swanson’s delicious and super easy 10-minute mushroom broth. I’ve been playing around with my new Instant Pot this week, and this broth was one of my first test recipes. You don’t need an Instant Pot to make it, but it does cut…
SWEET POTATO BRUSSELS SPROUT PASTA
This winter pasta was a huge hit in my house. Pretty much any kind of pasta dish is a winner with my family. Good news for me because the pasta dishes I whip together tend to be easy and not so labor intensive! This means we eat pasta when I have nothing else planned and…

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER ASPARAGUS SOCCAS
I try to keep a batch of these soccas in the freezer at all times. They’re one of my favorite things to eat year round! Make a lot of these crepes at once and you’ll always be in supply when you’re looking for some comfort AND healthy food, (no, they’re not mutually exclusive!). The richness…
SWEET POTATO HUMMUS VEGGIE TORTILLAS
These delicious homemade cassava tortillas came together with a bunch of leftovers from my fridge. It was a huge hit with my family! They’re super refreshing and brings me back to warmer days (although still pretty darn yummy now) – a good reminder that the sun will be shining again. I see these as a…
VEGGIE NAVY BEAN SOUP
I’ve been making lots of soups lately. I mean, how can you not with these Arctic cold temperatures? I threw this together with leftovers from the fridge and it turned out to taste amazing! It really hit the spot – so fortifying on a super chilly evening. I had leftover homemade veggie broth and pressure cooked…
ADZUKI BEAN RICE BOWL
Adzuki beans are a great starter bean. If eating beans turns you into a human repellent, smaller beans like adzuki or mung beans are good choices for you. They are more easily digestible and are less likely to cause gas or bloating. Once your body adapts to digesting beans, you can explore the many varieties…
