Diet: Vegetarian
Protein Ruthless Babies
Tastes like a candy bar, but made from whole food ingredients and packed with protein.
Banana Bread – Gluten Free!
You won’t know it’s gluten free!
Kale Chips – Cashew & Miso
Crunchy and SO flavorful! These kale chips are a great salty snack, with a good boost of protein from the cashews and sunflower seeds.
Pumpkin Pie
This well-spiced pumpkin pie is the true taste of fall! Slightly less sweet than traditional.
Wild Rice with Mushroom Medley
Fresh shiitake and cremini mushrooms, as well as dried mushroom medley, give this wild rice dish its rice umami flavor.
Piña Colada
It doesn’t get any more tropical tasting than this! A creamy blend of pineapple, coconut milk, rum, and ice.
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
The familiar flavors of your favorite ranch dressing, but better and with higher quality ingredients! Still not a healthy recipe, but sometimes you just need a little ranch. A great appetizer with raw veggies. For a really delicious splurge, this is excellent with my buffalo chicken!
Homemade Hot Sauce
An alternative to store-bought sauces – without any additives or preservatives. Using fresno peppers gives this sauce a great flavor and heat, without being overpowering. Perfect on my Baked Chicken Wings. This is a simple recipe, but does require an immersion blender!
Strawberry Daiquiri
The perfect drink on a hot summer day. Frozen strawberries, orange, lime, rum, and ice.
Chocolate-Covered Cherries
Semi-sweet and unsweetened chocolate combine to make these perfectly decadent, dark chocolate-covered sour cherry clusters. Inspired by my mom.
Snack Pack
Another favorite snack! I almost always keep one of these in my bag. A combination of seeds, nuts, and unsweetened dried fruits. The snack pack above includes: roasted almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, figs, prunes, dried apples and cherries, and freeze-dried strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. A great way to get some extra protein and fiber.
Green Beans, Roasted
Green beans tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper – then roasted. Super simple, super delicious!
Arugula & Kale Chopped Salad
This flavorful and peppery chopped salad is a great, quick addition to any meal. Baby arugula and kale with green onion, radishes, and feta – dressed in olive oil and lemon juice. If you like arugula, you will love this salad!
Berry Protein Smoothie
Frozen berries and beets with hemp protein and spirulina.
Fruit Queen Smoothie
A fruit smoothie fit for a queen – with papaya, cherries, berries, pomegranate, orange, and apple juice. Add unflavored protein powder, if desired.
Raw Kale Salad (Co-Op Salad)
Raw kale, carrots, garlic, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, and spices. Inspired by my favorite salad at Wheatsville Food Co-Op in Austin.
Brown Basmati Rice
Rice cooking has historically been a challenge for me. That changed when I tried this simple method for cooking brown basmati rice. Since then, it has been perfect every time!
Red Vegetable Curry
Potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, red bell pepper, and mushrooms with red curry spices, prepared in a slow cooker. Added protein from red split lentils and cashew cream.
Tzatziki Yogurt Sauce
Greek yogurt sauce with shredded cucumber, dill, olive oil, garlic, and a hint of lemon.
