When it comes to my diet, I call myself a flexitarian. Essentially, I am mostly vegetarian and I throw in a spattering of well-sourced meat when I feel like my body needs it. As someone who is flexible with their diet, I love supporting causes that champion the need for a more mindful way of eating- whatever that may look like to you, absolutely no judgements here! I have been working with Meatless Monday for years and love it when they send us challenges- this particular one involved a very ...

Herbed Baked Sweet Potato Fries (Meatless Monday)

It is so incredible what the slightest change to the ‘citrus’ fruit can bring into the taste profile! This ... Read More about Citrus Jicama Mint Salad (Meatless Monday)
Meatless Monday: Vegan Garden Fresh Breakfast Potatoes
Hello Darlings! I am not the biggest breakfast fan. Brunch, sure, but breakfast? Functioning that early in the morning is not exactly my thing. However, when you have a box of CSA goodies hanging out on the counter calling to you and leftover potatoes just about to sprout, you get to cooking.

Plus, leftovers mixed with a scoop of vegan yogurt ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Vegan Garden Fresh Breakfast Potatoes
Meatless Mondays: Candied Kumquats (Two Ways)
Hello Darlings! I always say that I should never be allowed in Whole Foods when I’m hungry. I go in for a few things on a list and walk out with a basket full of goodies I technically didn’t need. However, this time it worked out in my favor! I spotted the cute little kumquats and knew I needed to have them; they’re in season now, so I know that they’d be perfectly tart and sweet. I always forget that kumquats are so sour, so when I popped one into my mouth and thought ‘this needs sugar’ I ... Read More about Meatless Mondays: Candied Kumquats (Two Ways)
