This Easy Coleslaw Recipe has been my go-to for years. Crisp green cabbage, sweet carrots, and a hint of red onion come together in a creamy, tangy dressing that’s simply irresistible. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for BBQs, picnics, or as a refreshing side to any meal. In a large bowl, combine 8 cups of finely shredded green cabbage, 1 cup of grated carrots, ½ cup of finely shredded red cabbage (if using), and ½ cup of thinly sliced red onion....

They work for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it’s a perfect use for left over mashed potatoes. Vadim cooked up mashed potatoes just to make these pancakes and he took all the photos; isn’t he wonderful? I married a good man. It will be so nice to know our son is getting homemade food while I’m working 12-hour shifts back-to-back....

It’s lovely with Mediterranean spreads and dips on a mezze platter, stuffed vegetables, or grilled foods. You’ll love how easy, refreshing, and delicious this recipe is. The main veggies in this refreshing Persian salad are cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. However, while this dish looks similar to a Tabbouleh salad or a simple cucumber tomato salad, its taste is unique thanks to dried mint. The original Shirazi salad recipe calls for Verjuice in the dressing....
I grew up watching Sesame Street as well, and to this day, I still can’t make a batch of cookies without singing to myself, “C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me, yeah!” Talk about a show that sticks with you. To help my son enjoy his smoothies even more, it’s fun to make his smoothie bowls with a familiar-looking face on top. At least, I hope he looks familiar… my food crafting skills might still need some work!...
Mason Jar Salads are one of my favorite make-ahead meal options. They help make healthy eating a breeze during a busy week. You simply layer ingredients into large mason jars (I use these quart-sized jars) so that the dressing and sturdier ingredients are on the bottom. The softer toppings and leafy greens stay on top, so nothing gets soggy. When it’s time to eat, you take off the lid and dump the ingredients out of the jar into a large salad bowl....
Beetroot juice has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure, which, in turn, may lower the risk for cardiovascular disease. In regards to lowering blood pressure, raw beet juice seems to be more effective than cooked beets, although both show benefits. The nitrates found in beets are likely responsible for the blood pressure lowering effects, since the body converts that into nitric oxide, which may help to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow....

So this recipe is for him. While I happen to enjoy my highly plant-based diet, we do still have a few meat-based dinners in our house every now and then. (Austin and I officially dropped our “vegetarian” labels right before we got married). But I have a secret to share–> I don’t cook any raw meat in our kitchen. I don’t like handling raw meat, worrying about cooking it properly, cleaning up afterward… really, anything about the process....
This year, we’ll be serving this grain-free stuffing. Rather than relying on almond flour to create a mock-bread stuffing, this version relies solely on fresh vegetables and herbs! Dry roasted parsnips act as the bread-like cubes, keeping this recipe lower in carbohydrates and fat than traditional recipes, which often call for a loaf of dry bread and a stick of butter. The result is a looser and lighter stuffing, with all the flavor of the original, but with far less fat and calories....
Easy Grilled Eggplant Recipe I’ve been avoiding eggplant most of my life! There I said it. Eggplant is not my friend and prior to this grilled eggplant the only thing I loved with eggplant in it was my Eggplant Salad. Maybe it was the texture or I just thought it was too slimy? I really don’t know and who cares because this grilled eggplant recipe was my turning point! So if you were like me, I’m here to tell you that this recipe for grilled eggplant is a game changer!...

This easy marinated mushroom recipe is perfect for the grill. I used baby portobello mushrooms because I think they meatier than their cousins; the buttons or the crimini but this recipe does work with the regular mushrooms too. We broke out our BBQ this week and anything that can be grilled gets tossed onto the sizzling hot iron grates....
In the month of May I’m going to be featuring only vegetarian recipes and some of them will include seafood. My mission is to prove to myself mostly, that there are many options when it comes to vegetarian dishes. To start this off, I’ve made this yummy halibut soup. I don’t make fish soup often but sometimes I get in the mood for something different and recently I’ve been wanting to make a fish soup for quite some time....
They each have a buttery crust, rich chocolate filling, and a creamy vanilla topping, reminiscent of my husband’s favorite French Silk Pie, but these are better because they are dairy-free and naturally sweetened. The chocolate filling and vanilla topping get their creamy texture from raw cashews, which provide minerals like magnesium and potassium, along with healthy fats and fiber, to help keep this dessert truly satisfying. Paired with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and heart-healthy walnuts, this pie is definitely an upgrade from the kind you might find in your grocer’s pastry case....
You have my son to thank for this recipe, as he’s been asking me to make “healthy donuts” for the last two weeks. We’ve been explaining to him how sometimes certain foods don’t make us feel very good when we eat them too often (like deep-fried donuts), so it’s important to eat them in moderation, with plenty of healthy food, too. His solution is that I just need to make healthy donuts so he can eat them more often....
Why You’ll Love It Inspired by a can of Amy’s Quinoa, Kale & Red Lentil Soup, this soup is a complete meal in a bowl. Thanks to the quinoa, it has the 9 essential amino acids that the body can’t make on its own, plus extra fiber to help keep you feeling full. Paired with red lentils and kale, which are both a good source of iron, this soup also contains prebiotics, which may help to promote a healthy gut....
If you’ve never tasted homemade apple butter, you’re missing out. It tastes like Fall in a jar! I’m usually not the biggest fan of jams and jellies, but this stuff is good enough to eat by the spoonful. And it’s so easy to make! In fact, if you’ve already made homemade applesauce, all you have to do is add some spice and let it simmer longer, until the applesauce cooks down and gets thicker....
Easy Homemade Crepes I absolutely adore making crepes and I’ve been making them since I was 10 years old! They are so versatile and can be filled with just about anything. It’s a dessert I grew up with. Crepes or “clatite” as we call them, were our Sunday dessert that my mom, my sister and I would make together. Easy & Delicious Uses pantry/kitchen staple ingredients Versatile, can be sweet or savory!...
