Creamy Vegetarian Tortellini Soup

Homemade Arugula Pistachio Pesto
Making our own pesto was one of our first scratch recipes long before even going plant-based. I have to give credit to Kevin, he mastered the recipe of Basil Pesto, leading us to name it his Besto Pesto! Since then we continued to elevate it and see how many nutrients...

Tacos are a staple meal in our home for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love that you can take any cuisine and make it into a delicious taco. So this weekend, I started wondering, why haven't we tried making our own tortillas? I mean we successfully made homemade...
Two Ingredient Protein Hot Chocolate
This winter storm had me drinking hot beverages all day long, well when power intervals permit. Give me all the tea and hot chocolate while I snuggle up under this blanket in my slipper socks and pajamas. Every time our power came back on, I immediately heat up the...
Loaded Vegetable Fried Rice
Whenever I watch the Big Bang Theory, I get the biggest craving for Chinese Take Out. Now, every once it awhile I splurge because I love eating out of the containers and sometimes you just don’t want to cook and the crispy fried egg roll just hits the spot. However,...
Easy & Fresh Mediterranean Dip
I am an appetizer junkie! I would rather go to Happy Hour then a full dinner any day of the week; and not only because I want to be in bed by 9 pm 🙂 Lately, I have been craving Hummus & Greek Salads every day, so I figured why not put them together in a...
Crispy Baked Tofu Pad Thai
Rainy days had me craving Pad Thai & lucky for me I had been house-sitting in my old neighborhood where my favorite Thai restaurant is located. Kevin & I indulged that Saturday night and it did not disappoint. But it did...

Buffalo Chickpea “Meatballs” Southwest Salad
You know the saying, "when pigs can fly then I will....(insert some crazy scenario that will never happen here)?" Well if they could fly then they would probably have juicy porky wings that would bring this world together! Because let's face it, we desperate for this...
15 Day Smoothie Challenge
I am a firm believer that the actions I take in the morning set my day up for success. If I allow the busy morning to get the best of me, then my day quickly spirals down from there. But if I dedicate time each morning to...
Peanut Butter & Mixed Nuts Energy Bites
Kevin & I just returned from Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon. This golf resort blew us away with the Oregon coastline views, 6 rugged, wind-swept links styles golf courses, acres of untouched nature, baby deer and local Pinot Noir! True links style courses are...
Roasted Vegetable Pesto Pasta
Pasta night does not have to be considered a cheat meal in a healthy lifestyle. In fact, it can be part of your weekly lineup simply by making a few swaps. I lived in fear of pasta for so many years, but when I changed my lifestyle to plant-based I was able to kick my...

Vegetarian Tostadas
Tostadas are meant to be messy! You can pile them with any of your favorite ingredients and enjoy every crispy bite. Although they are extremely delicious there is nothing lady-like about eating a tostada, so chose wisely who you enjoy these with 🙂 A tostada is...

To me, being healthy means you focus on fueling your body with whole foods. By increasing the amount of plant-based meals you consume I believe you will feel your body flourishing from the inside out. That momentum will lead you to finding other healthy habits and before you know it, you’re truly living your best life.
