My last post was a week long menu plan and two of the dishes called for cauliflower rice, so I thought a caulfilower rice tutorial was in order! WHAT IS CAULIFLOWER RICE? Cauli-rice is a substitute for rice made completely from cauliflower. Use it in place of rice, couscous, quinoa, and such. We really like…

1Week Healthy Eating, Whole Food Meal Plan 1/4-1/10
I am starting my whole food 30 day challenge on Monday. I know a few of you are joining me. I have mapped out a week long menu to get you started. I have tried all of these meals and love them. I plan to do a post like this every week for the month…
My Own 30 Day Whole Food Challenge
A lot has been going on. If you aren’t a regular reader, you can get caught up HERE. I have not been eating well at all. Between two first-trimesters of pregnancy in the last six months, not being able to do much food prep because of the rash on my hands, my husbands weird work…
Creamy Italian Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (Vegan)
Sometimes while I am chopping veggies or washing dishes, I grumble to myself about how I wish I was on a beach relaxing instead of dealing with the daily grind. We are all guilty of this. Lately I have been unable to do anything around the house because of a very bad allergic reaction on…
Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash
This Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash recipe came about when I was in need of something to go with my breakfast-for-dinner Savory Whole Wheat Waffles Topped with Fried Eggs. I felt like I needed to add some more veg to the meal. And when the chill in the air makes its way into my home,…
Thai Quinoa Cabbage Rolls (Vegetarian)
I somehow ended up with 3 heads of cabbage in my fridge. Not my fault. I like cabbage just as much as the next person, but I don’t have a ton of go-to cabbaged based recipes. I mean, I have a few, but not enough for 3 heads of it! But I have never let…
Strawberry Chickpea Pancakes (And How to Make Your Own Chickpea Flour)
I know what you are thinking….CHICKPEA pancakes? Really? I know it sounds weird, but just hear me out! These pancakes are just as easy and simple as normal flour pancakes, but much healthier. Chickpea flour is a whole food that is, simply, ground up raw chickpeas. Its used in many dishes, in many different cultures….
Asian Noodle Soup (Cheater Vegetarian Ramen)
I’m back and it feels good! I took quite the blogging hiatus in order to move across the country, go on some road trips, get settled in a new town, and adjust to a crazy new life style. My husband graduated from medical school in May and started his Intern year of residency a…
Thai Inspired Raviolis with Cauliflower Veggie Filling and Creamy Peanut Sauce
This recipe is kind of out there. I admit it. But why not? Why not fill raviolis with a gingery veggie loaded filling and drizzle creamy peanut sauce over top. Who says Raviolis have to be strictly Italian? I also made it a little more Asian (and a lot easier!) by using wonton wrappers instead…
Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Dip (Lightened Up)
I was totally not planning on making this recipe. Actually, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Don’t tell anyone…….I actually never really know what I am doing. I am not one of those bloggers who have a two year plan and post strategically to get the most views. Those bloggers truly…
