Ingredients needed Vegetables: Ripe avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh cilantro/coriander. I used cherry tomatoes but you can use any ripe tomatoes you can find. Seasoning: Chilli, fresh lime juice, salt and black pepper. I used bird’s eye chilli / Thai chilli but jalapeño pepper or serrano can be substituted.. Feel free to add fresh garlic if you prefer. You could also add some crumbled feta cheese or Cotija cheese....

It’s a hug! It’s a plane! It’s a bowl of immune boosting soup. If there’s ever a been a time to face-plant into a steamy pot of cozy veggies (channeling this Broccoli Cauliflower Soup), warming spices, and healing broth, it is most certainly now. Together, we shall boost thy immune systems! Hunk of crusty bread not optional. Now listen here. I’m literally on week three of a head cold turned sinus infection and my cheeks feel like they’re going to fall off....

Ingredients The tuna mixture is almost mousse-like and is of course delicious in a tuna fish sandwich but you can use it as a dip for crudités for a low carbohydrate meal or on gluten-free crackers as a healthy protein-rich snack. If you’re looking for a more traditional tuna recipe, try our tuna salad. Tuna. I always use canned tuna in oil but tuna in brine is lower in calories....

I recommend that everyone who loves Chinese food have a jar of pre-made black bean sauce in their fridge. Here are the reasons: The sauce is extremely versatile. You can view it as soy sauce alternative, only more flavorful.The sauce is healthier than many other Chinese sauces because it contains less sugar.The sauce has a bit of thickening powder by itself, so you don’t always need to use extra cornstarch to thicken the sauce....

I love chickpeas and could honestly eat them with every meal — they’re so versatile and nutritious! They’re also an incredible source of plant-based protein for all of my vegetarian readers out there. I pulled together all of my fave flavorful recipes featuring canned chickpeas (though you could always use dried chickpeas that you’ve cooked, instead). What to make with chickpeas One of the many reasons I use chickpeas so often is because you can make so many different types of recipes with them thanks to their mild flavor and texture....

I am sure many of you would disagree when I say this is the best way to enjoy the least desirable vegetable, but wait till you try these karela chips made in an air fryer. They are so good and addictive that you will not be able to stop at one chip. I agree to be sent email. These air fryer bitter gourd chips are a perfect side dish to south Indian dishes like rasam, rice, sambar, and avial....

I love a veggie burg as much as the next hippie but I’m not trying to spend 45 minutes prepping them, no matter how divine they taste. Just like my beloved super firm vegan black bean burgers, you don’t have to lug out the food processor nor a cutting board. What is this madness?! These babies are supremely simple. Using bold spices and flavor boosters like melty cheese and smoky BBQ sauce make these next level delish....

Love lobster? You have to try our Creamy Lobster Pasta recipe! Ingredients I made the pasta dough myself because if you’re spending money on lobster, you might as well go the whole nine yards, right? I wouldn’t use wonton wrappers for this recipe but you could ask your local Italian deli or restaurant if they can sell you their own pasta dough. Making your own dough is incredibly simple though and can be rolled out with a rolling pin if you don’t have a pasta machine....

After losing my brother, the holidays feel heavier. Every month older Charlie gets is another month he’s been gone. I’m constantly reminding myself that grief and happiness can and do coexist. Some moments my heart feels shattered, and then I kiss my babies and it feels whole again. They save me! I wouldn’t say these are the most inspired days of my life, but there’s homemade food on the table most nights and I call that a win....

Updated March 26, 2019 Last week I made a Black Quinoa Salad with Mango, Avocado, and Tomatoes. Josh absolutely loved the salad. He can’t stop talking about it. He has been bugging me for a week to post the recipe. He said everyone needs this recipe! So hopefully you will enjoy this salad as much as he did:) This healthy salad is easy to make and is great as a main dish or side dish....

One of my favorite dishes is mapo tofu, but I absolutely love making that same mapo sauce to go with eggplant for mapo eggplant. I’ll admit, mapo eggplant is not the prettiest dish out there but it is full of flavor and uses a classic mapo sauce that envelops the tender eggplant in a savory, spicy, and fragrant way. Don’t let the ingredient list scare you off… You likely have most of it in your pantry and it really takes no time at all to make....

Updated August 13, 2019 It’s back to school time! I know I will cry like a baby when Caleb is old enough to go to school, but I do look forward to him coming home and telling me about his day. I picture us sitting at the table talking, laughing, working on homework, and enjoying cookies and milk. We have a few years until it’s homework time and back to school for our little pea, but I made Mini M&M’S® Cookies anyways....

Christmas morning was always a mixture of being tired and being excited. Tired because we always had a big Christmas Eve party where we would exchange gifts with the family (a few gifts were kept for Christmas Day) and were allowed to stay up late. The excitement I felt was, of course due to the extra gifts but mostly I was excited because Christmas Day meant even more family (seriously my favourite thing in the world), swimming and my Gran’s turkey with bread stuffing....

Chocolate smushed with peanut butter…is there anything more magical? Topped with flaky salt, mind you. We’re so extra today! The best part about these bars (beyond only having five ingredients) is that they’re kept in the freezer to preserve that wonderful texture. Who in their right mind would say no to a chilly treat right about now? No bake recipes are life. How to make chocolate peanut butter bars Are these bars healthy?...

This year, I put a little twist on the classic and made Orange Chocolate Spritz Cookies and I think they will have to be on our holiday baking list from now on. The orange and chocolate combo is delightful and perfect for the holiday season....

Updated March 26, 2019 When I hear peanut butter and chocolate in the same sentence or recipe, I always pay attention. I’ve done my fair share of baking with both ingredients, but when they come together the results are divine. My new favorite peanut butter chocolate treat are these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies. I am a huge blondie fan and these do not disappoint. Josh is allergic to peanut butter so I shared these blondies with our friends....

Updated March 26, 2019 How is it already back to school time? The summer went way too fast. I know I don’t’ have to go back to school and Caleb is still too young, but still. I am not ready for fall just yet. I still want to enjoy the summer sun and pretend I am on summer break. To help make the back to school transition a little easier I have a fun and easy recipe for you today, No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Granola Bars....
