The best compliment I can get when I make a healthy dessert is, “I don’t believe you, there’s no way this is healthy.” Disbelief means I met my goal. I didn’t get an…”it’s good, but there’s just something different about it.” Nope, this recipe is just plain really good with the benefit that it happens…

Italian Zucchini Chicken Quinoa Bake
You can find a million versions of zucchini bread with a quick Google search. However, savory zucchini recipes a little more difficult to find. Do you agree? I’ve been on the hunt for ways to make use of my abundant zucchini supply, but I can only eat so many slices of zucchini bread… Which is…
Healthy Zucchini Brownies
I’m not sure why I keep planting so many zucchini plants in my garden every year when I know that one plant produces more zucchini than I can possibly use. But, here we are. Another zucchini season = another opportunity for me to find creative ways to use it! One recipe I’ve been testing and…
Green Chili Chicken and White Bean Enchilada Casserole
How much easier does it get than this? You prep the filling in the slow cooker. Layer the ingredients in the pan. Bake. Your prep work = cutting an onion and garlic and opening cans. This is fantastic for all you busy people out there (AKA everyone and their dogs.). Enough with the talk, get…
Curried Cauliflower & Chickpea (or chicken!) Salad
This recipe definitely isn’t your tried and true, tattered recipe card, kind of recipe. Instead, this one is a “push you out of your comfort zone” kind of recipe! It is so unexpectedly delicious, I think you’ll be surprised at how much you like it. If cauliflower or chickpeas aren’t your thing, definitely try it…

It’s also a health food masterpiece–but no one seems to notice that when it’s this delicious. 🙂 When I first found this mole sauce, I made it with standard chicken enchiladas. That was delicious, so I kept hoping I’d find more ways to use the sauce. Fast forward…
Healthy Blueberry Muffins!
I like to think that at some point I’ll be that person that has enough time in the morning to make myself a perfectly balanced egg white omelette or stand by a pot and make slow cooked steel cut oats. But, let’s be real, I’m not a person with that kind of time in the…
Chilled Fruit ‘Soup’
Are you currently asking yourself if I meant to say, ‘soup’? Because yes, yes I did mean to say that. This recipe came as a result of my mom recreating one of our favorite dishes from a little bed and breakfast. At the time, we also thought fruit soup sounded odd, but too interesting not…
The Best Slow Cooker Shredded Beef
I’ll never quite understand why people correlate crockpot meals with the winter… In my opinion, spring and summer are the best time to use my crockpot because I can avoid turning on my oven or stove and heating up my kitchen! This beef roast is so tender, juicy and EASY. When you need a no…
Avocado Mango Salsa
Who feels like they’re going to cut their hand off every time they try to wrestle the pit out of an avocado? If you raised your hand, I’m right there with you. When I saw the Eat Fresh set with the avocado tool from Microplane, I knew it would be worth a try for not…
