The best salads, in my opinion, don’t include lettuce. And don’t even get me started on roasted vegetables. Show me a pan of those, and there’s a good chance I’ll eat the entire sheet pan single handedly. <– that’s not a joke. This salad boasts tender, sweet & savory roasted vegetables, sweet cranberries, crispy chickpeas…

The BEST Healthy Peanut Butter Bars with Chocolate Chips!
I dare you to make these and withhold from eating the entire pan. You might think you have enough will power to resist, but I wouldn’t be so sure. Believe me, I’m a girl who has a lot of willpower but with these bars, I feel a bit powerless. I’ve also made them for my…
Classic Zucchini Bread
This bread is SO TASTY. The texture is exactly what you hope for in zucchini bread…moist, tender and soft. It’s not quite ‘health food’, but it does use whole wheat flour and contains less oil and sugar than most zucchini bread recipes. Feel free to get creative with this recipe – throw in some chopped…
Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Zucchini Bread
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Chocolate Banana Greek Yogurt Muffins
What do I love about muffins? They cook much faster than bread (I’m looking at you taking an hour in the oven, banana bread.) and they’re already pre-portioned and easy to pack/take places. I know most of you inevitably end up with a few over-ripe bananas on the counter, and this is the perfect recipe…
