Here we go 2019! Time to take a breather from all the excess we had for the past month! I like to lighten things up a bit in January. So, all month long I will be sharing lighter meals that you can feel good about eating and are full of delicious flavors! We are kicking it off with some Date Nectar ...

Coconut Pumpkin Soup! Fall Flavors Fiesta Continues!
This week, I am taking a break from the sweet and switching to savory. I’m still sticking with my fall flavors theme though. A comforting coconut pumpkin soup! Filled with pumpkin spice, with some heat thrown in all mellowed out by the creamy coconut milk. Perfect for Sunday Supper with plenty of ...
Grandma’s Homemade Sloppy Joe! Have Some More Schloppy Joes!
Sloppy Joes is one of those old school dinners that fed a large family and was enjoyed by most in the brood. In fact, when my mom told us we were having sloppy joes we rejoiced! Which rarely happened when associated with my mom’s cooking. Sorry Mom. But she would make my Grandma’s recipe for Sloppy ...
Shrimp Taco Pizza with Plantain Crust! Spicy, Saucy and Sassy, the Pizza Too!
Pizza is one of those comfort foods that I love. It makes me think of the weekends, family, friends and good thoughts. I also like to play with traditional pizza flavors and mix them up a bit. I had this idea for a Mexican inspired pizza with a grain free plantain crust! You get the hominess and ...
Cassava Beet Tortillas! Beautiful, Beet Bounty!
Who doesn’t love a good taco or wrap? I don’t know, I was asking you? I sure love a taco though, but when trying to do a heathier, non-processed, wheat free tortilla, it can be somewhat challenging. A lot of the alternatives out there don’t hold up, are super thin and your fillings just break ...
Jackfruit Chili Lime Tacos. Tacos aren’t just for Tuesdays!
Woo-hoo, we made it to the end of January! We just have to get through February temps, wah, wah. But we kept all our resolutions and healthy eating habits, right? This meal is so easy and quick you can whip it up on a weeknight or any night. Sticking with our healthy eating theme, these ...
Sweet Potato Lasagna. Seconds and Thirds Encouraged!
Wow, third week in January! We almost made it. Let the healthy eating and resolutions continue! For at least another week. :) I recently bought the KitchenAid attachment for the vegetable sheeter. So fun. I decided I would make sweet potato noodles for my dairy free lasagna. I have made this ...
White Pizza! Dairy Free, Wheat Free and Guilt Free!
Week two of January and still going strong! This is one of my favorite homemade pizzas to make. When I am craving pizza and don’t want my typical marinara sauce pizza, this White Pizza fits the bill. For this version it’s completely vegetarian, but you can do so much with the base. I have done ...
Beet Burger. Beautiful Beets in a “Meaty” Beety Burger Form!
2018, going to have to get used to that. Where does the time go? We made it another year and another holiday season. Ready to kick the year off right! After all the indulging that took place over the past couple of months, I like to take January to re-set, get back to my normal eating habits and ...
Stuffed Acorn Squash. Fancy Fall Dinner Party!
It’s Fancy Fall Dinner time! Or FFD as I have coined it. What is FFD you say? Well, it is a time every year that my friends and I get together to have a formal fancy fall dinner. The way it works is, we each alternate on who hosts the event. Whoever is hosting is in charge of the main course and ...
