Grain-free Cranberry Pecan Pilaf
Whoop, it’s the last day of the month! I thought this day would never come. Really, I didn’t. After this evening’s hot yin class at Moksha Yoga NDG I will have completed 60 straight days of yoga. Wow, even writing that boggles my mind. I feel like I’ve gone through a meat grinder and been…
What Your Heart is Telling You (and how to act on it)
Why am I here? What am I meant to be doing? What gift have I been given to share with the world? Although these are some massively scary questions, we owe it to ourselves to live the life we were born to live and I truly believe that our hearts know what that truth is….
Dairy-free Butter Chicken
I ate this for breakfast yesterday morning, had it again for lunch… and can just about guarantee that I’ll be enjoying it again today. It’s just that good. Now I know what you’re thinking, ‘dairy-free butter chicken? It has to taste off.’ It doesn’t. I had my fair share of authentic butter chicken while I…
Cinnamon Roll Flax Almond Butter
Oh boy do I have a treat for us today! I’ve gotten back into making my own nut butters (enjoying a tablespoon or so drizzled over a fresh cut apple as a post yoga snack) and this latest batch is better than any other nut butter I’ve ever made. It’s more satisfying than my Vanilla…
Vegan Sprout Bowl with Creamy Curry Sauce
Food for your soul – it makes you feel whole, balanced and full of life. You know when you’ve had a soul-nourishing meal when you get high on life, exude confidence, and are ready to take on anything that comes your way. This feeling is not to be confused with the rush you get when…
Rosemary Sweet Potato Wedges with Skinny Garlic Aioli
I was raised to believe that all goats were good for was hopping through pastures and eating grass. It wasn’t until I began working closely with Happy Days Dairies that I fully began to appreciate just how awesome goats really are. Turns out these friendly little creatures create milk with quite an awesome nutrient profile….
The Mega Spice Rack!
I’ve dreamed of an organized space to store my many spices, grains, nuts and seeds for many, many years. After months of weekend spice labeling (that I began in the old house before we moved), drilling, assembling and measuring, I have the epitome of kitchen organization… the mega spice rack! It was quite the project…
Garlic Maple Sweet Potato Casserole
We’re done the two week cleanse! One of my favorite things about cleansing is that it resets my eating habits and redefines what’s important to me. In the span of the last two weeks, I’ve eaten more vegetables daily than I used to consume in a week, drank a whole bunch more water, and developed…
Brussels Bowl with Cauliflower “Rice” and Rosemary Sauce
There are so many things that I love about this meal. I’ve wondered if grains were bothersome to my body for awhile but the reaction was so faint, so barely there, that I didn’t pay much attention to it. The key to becoming the healthy, balanced being that we all strive for is listening to…
Indian Red Lentil Stew
A girl’s gotta treat herself every once in awhile. Whether it’s a weekend retreat, getting a pedicure, or an elaborate haircut, doing something kind to ourselves makes us feel good, relaxed and special. It doesn’t have to be huge. Heck, I consider taking myself out to tea and reading for a couple of hours in…
