Curried Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Milk
Second wave of this pandemic is here and I’m already looking for some comfort food. Anyone else? While you’re at it though, make sure that your comfort food benefits not only your taste buds, but your health as well. In my opinion, this butternut squash soup does the trick.

Low Carb Taco Pie
I often talk about choosing healthy swaps in your foods, to try and bring down the calories and/or the carbohydrates. After all, consuming too many of those may cause weight gain. If you’re trying NOT to gain weight or even to lose weight, you must understand what your own carbohydrate tipping point is. Basically, how […]
Peanut Butter Power Balls
It is a must for me to keep healthy, tasty treats on hand for that moment when a sweet craving strikes. Let’s be honest, it’s pretty much every day. These protein powder peanut butter balls are nutrient dense, made with flax, and whole oats, healthy nut butter and seeds. They are chewy and sweet and […]

Have you ever said “That looks too good to eat”? Oh my, I was saying that about this hummus platter. This looks sooooo good and tastes amazing. Plus, it’s one of those dishes that is so versatile, you can create a different look and flavor every time. Hummus is quite a thick dip, so […]
Bananas Foster Chia Pudding
Sometimes it’s all about the ambiance. My mom always orders a Bellini every time we go out because it always comes in a fancy martini glass. She rarely finishes it, but she orders it…because of the fancy glass! When a dish looks cute, adorable, fancy, or fun, we just want to eat it! That’s how […]

Soup is the silver lining. I actually grew up on Campbell’s tomato and mushroom soup. It seemed like every Sunday after church, we […]
Tex Mex Zucchini Boats
I am loving this dish! For me, one of the best things is that it is a perfect portion size and it lasts in the fridge 3 days so I can bake them up on Sunday and have a few left over for my weekly lunches. This past week I prepped these boats and the […]
Plant-Based Meal Prep Bowls
Here’s the thing. There is enough evidence out there to indicate that a nutrition plan based on whole foods, lean proteins, complex carbohydrates (today we are focusing on high micronutrient dense vegetables) and healthy fats is the way to better health. I certainly have read and listened to a lot lately to convince me that […]
PUMPKIN CHIA POWER BALLS
I asked on my Instagram account lately, “What is more difficult for you: Exercise or Nutrition?” The response was overwhelmingly, nutrition! And it’s no wonder. Did you know that we have at least 200 or more thoughts surrounding food each day? That’s a fair amount of time thinking about food. Compound that with an overwhelming […]
