This weather in Georgia has been crazy! I’ve had the last 3 days off for SNOW DAYS and we only got about an inch, but yesterday was kind of icy. I won’t complain! I took the time to research a ton about the HCLF plant based diet and I had plenty of time to meal…

Tempeh “Sausage”, Caramelized Onion, Roasted Eggplant, and Sundried Tomato Pizza on Whole Wheat Lavash
YUM! It’s snowing again in Georgia tonight, and I’m crossing my fingers for snow day #3. A crispy, flavorful, hearty, and guilty pleasure worthy (but really healthy) slice of pizza (or two) is just what I had in mind for tonight. This tempeh “sausage” recipe is amazingly delicious crumbled on top of pizza, and I…
Meal Planning 1.15.18
I’ve been struggling to figure out what to eat or how much of it to eat to get into a stable daily food schedule. This week I stumbled on an article giving an overview of a book called How Not to Die by Michael Greger M.D. and he basically tells you the best food to…
Sweet Chili Tofu Buddha Bowl
There are endless options to buddha bowls, and I’m glad I found this one on Pinterest from Plant based Jane last week! It was colorful, flavorful, healthy, protein packed, and Asian (my favorite!) We were going to go out for date night, but since the Falcons game is on we decided to stay in so…
Mushroom and Spinach Pasta with Rosemary White Bean Sauce
Perfect rainy night meal alert! I came up with this idea after I saw Clinton Kelly making a white bean and spinach pasta on The Chew last week. I was really excited to see a vegan option on their show because I usually have to ignore most of the things that they make now. Minus…
Warm Butternut Squash and Kale Quinoa Salad
In the dead of winter I’m not in the mood for a traditional cold salad. After a long day I want to sit down to a warm meal, but I’m also trying to make healthy plant based dishes so when I saw a recipe for a warm quinoa salad on Pinterest I wanted to give…
Tandoori Chickpea Buddha Bowl with Garlic Tahini Sauce
I based this recipe off of one I found on Pinterest and I adjusted it to what I thought would be good together, and you can do the same depending on your taste. I always like the combination of sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts together so I used these instead of spinach and carrots. I…
Dilly Chickpea Salad Wraps
Anything you can do, I can do better vegan? I think so. I seriously don’t think there’s anything that we CAN’T have, and I’m loving that. Chicken salad was a staple for any girly celebration and it’s something that’s so easy to throw together for a quick lunch. I saw a recipe for Chickpea…
Berry and Almond Butter Toast
Healthy and pretty breakfast, anyone? This is a good example of my weekend breakfast, when I can actually eat something not in my car. It’s wholesome, flavorful, filling, and you can pretty much do anything you want with this idea. I like the combination of flavors and textures, plus it takes about 3 minutes…
Crispy Tofu and Broccoli Soba Noodles
Any Asian noodle dish is always one of my favorites because there’s something very comforting about a bowl of noodles. I used soba noodles because they’re made with buckwheat flour and they have 7 grams of protein per serving, so you’re getting a lot of your protein mixed with the tofu and broccoli. This is…
Classic*ish* Hummus
I feel like hummus has become my new staple snack for any occasion: after school, at parties or get togethers, and sometimes it’s even lunch. It’s simple, naturally vegan, healthy, and you can pretty much use anything as a dipper and it’s delicious. Hummus can get expensive when you buy it at the grocery all…
Lentil and Mushroom Bolognese
Tonight I made this recipe for a healthy and light dinner, because last night we had leftover pasta with “beef” and wine…again. It’s full of veggies, and the lentils and mushrooms are packed with protein to leave you feeling satisfied. I used my Spiralizer for the first time to make the noodles, hooray no…
Ratatouille with Roasted Potatoes
Well due to my puppy eating underwear…AGAIN…it was a very late dinner tonight. After trying to get end of the year tests finished, having 2nd graders crafting parent gifts, throwing the leftover ice at each other at recess, then another trip to the vet, I started slicing to make this dinner even though all I…
