Lentil Soup

I love soup all year 'round so don't be a hater and tell me it's not soup season! Spring is just as deserving of this deliciousness as the other seasons :) This has become my favorite soup too - I keep it stockpiled in the freezer just to make sure I always have some handy! It's simple, healthy, delicious and beautiful. Can't complain about any of that, right? I attempted to cut my carrots into heart shapes. I saw it on Pinterest and thought 'ohhhh I can do that!' Buuuuuut I forgot how … [Read more...]

Smoothie Talk!

Hi Friends! A while back, I made a post about green smoothies. They rock and you can have so much fun with them. You can add all different kinds of fruit and greens and juices to change the flavors. Well I am so excited! I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to check out their new Magic Bullets. I tried finding this new version online, but I can't find it anywhere, not even on Bed Bath & Beyond's website! But the blade is much better and they come with LIDS and STRAWS! WOOHOO! This is huge … [Read more...]

Baked Falafal

I super mega love falafal. It's crazy delicious, but I am not a fan of how greasy it can get when fried. Well, I am not a fan of fried food in general so it's meh no matter what.

My husband first tried falafal when we went out to a mediterranean place to eat. He got some wrapped up thing with fries and I got falafal with lots of veggies to go with em. He was … [Read more...]

Best Tofu Scramble EVER!

best tofu scramble ever

So if for some reason you aren't a big tofu fan, but actually made it to this recipe... listen up! My tofu-hating husband really liked this stuff. If you have never cooked tofu, this would be one of the first things I would suggest making (or some fake cheesy-creamy sauce with silken tofu but that's cheating!). It's fairly simple and once you have learned how to work with tofu, you will realize how awesome it is! And if you have ever had tofu out or something and it was bad... don't let that … [Read more...]

Green Smoothie

I noticed a lot of talking about smoothies and what to put in em. I figured it would be a great time for me to post my green smoothie! Now... Don't be all 'ewwww it's greeeeen' because GREEN is GOOD! And more importantly, it doesn't taste green. It's a great way to sneak some veggies into your day - you can't complain about that! So first I will go over my basic green smoothie idea and then add on to it. Because really, everyone has their own tastes. You can always add to or take away … [Read more...]
