Crispy Baked Beet Chips

You know the phrase “needle in a haystack”?  Do people still say this when they can’t find something?  I think it’s time we changed this up.  I mean, who has a haystack anymore?  Heck, people barely have needles nowadays, right?  I bought a needle this week to use in a beading project.  This is howContinue Reading

Coconut Ginger Smoothie

I can’t tell you how many times that I have made this smoothie in the past couple of weeks.  I also can’t tell you how many times I have made this smoothie while dancing around to the piña colada song.  Too many times.  That song is now burned into my brain. Consider this the after-workContinue Reading

Green Lemonade

I drink fresh vegetable juice almost daily, but I tend to filter the juices I show here. See, I have a feeling that if I posted a juice recipe that said “juice 1 giant bunch of kale and a peeled lemon” some of you might actually drink it.  And, if you aren’t a hard-core juice fanatic, you’d takeContinue Reading

15-Minute Mini Veggie Pizzas

Let’s get real for a moment, shall we?  After several failed attempts over the past few months, I have come to accept that I cannot make a pizza crust from scratch to save my life.  And if we allow ourselves to get even more real… who wants to make a pizza crust from scratch anyways whenContinue Reading

NuNaturals Stevia Giveaway!

A month and a half ago, I was offered some samples from NuNaturals and was able to try some of their stevia products.  To be honest, I was a tad skeptical of trying stevia because I had tried another brand in the past and it had only tasted bitter to me.  However, I have beenContinue Reading

Spicy Peanut and Sweet Potato Soup

I am not the person that you should ask about fashion advice.  My idea of a good outfit involves jeans and a comfy grey sweater from the men’s department at Old Navy.  And my “purse”?  Oh, do you mean this reusable Trader Joe’s grocery bag? I am not the person that you should ask about relationshipContinue Reading

Quick Meals for Busy, Healthy Living

Right now I am working on practicing compassion with myself.  Last week ended up being a much harder and busier week than anticipated with some really energy-draining situations.  Weeks like that are my least favorite kind.  So instead of mentally beating myself up for feeling exhausted and low, I’m learning how to let myself justContinue Reading

Ginger Orange Carrot Juice

Sometimes, when I am really on top of things in my life, I monitor where web traffic comes from. Most people stumble here through Foodgawker, Pinterest, Finding Vegan, or Google searches. If you do any Google searches for kale smoothies, roasted beets, or kale chips, apparently I’m your gal. And, as I learned the otherContinue Reading

Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus

I think this world would be a much brighter place if we could spend all our time doing what we love most. And if you are anything like me, that means you would spend your evening dancing around your kitchen to Colbie Caillat with your cats while eating your own weight in sweet potato hummus.Continue Reading

It’s here!

This blog sure has come a long way over the past couple of years.  And with my two-year blogiversary quickly approaching,  it is definitely time for an upgrade. You may not have known until now that there have been big things going on behind the scenes for quite awhile.  After six months of gently (butContinue Reading
