Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend has been great so far. I had a pretty busy work week, so I am enjoying kicking back and relaxing (for the most part) this weekend. Sometimes you just need those "lazy" weekends. My last grocery haul post was all the way back in the beginning of March. But [...]
gluten-free
And just like that, Wednesday is here and we are halfway through the month of April. I am itching for some May weather, and I have so many things to look forward to in the month of June. Basically, I would not be too upset if the rest of April sped on by. But until [...]
Simple three-ingredient Lentil and Refried Bean Taquitos that are protein-packed, vegan, and gluten-free. I thought I had hit the jackpot back in August when I made taquitos with refried beans and hummus. Don't get me wrong. The refried beans and hummus combination is delicious! But this time I made us all something even better. A couple [...]
As I mentioned last week, adopting a gluten-free diet at home has been pretty darn easy for me. I realized that I do not eat as much gluten as I thought, and with some simple substitutions like GF bread and oats, I have been tackling a gluten-free diet just fine. My biggest struggles with following [...]
A super simple Greek-inspired chickpea salad that is chock full of veggies. It is a delicious spring/summer side dish and the perfect make-ahead lunch. I am craving salads like mad right now. Salads with lettuce, salads with pasta (GF now), and of course one of my favorites, chickpea salads. At this point I am not discriminating. [...]

But in hopes that I this post may connect with someone, I want to share my struggles and experiences throughout this bump in the road. I hope you [...]
A super simple fried rice recipe that is gluten-free and chicken-free, but is certainly not skimping on flavor! Last week I mentioned that I recently made the decision to try out a gluten-free diet. I have been working with a functional medicine center for the past month, and in speaking with my nurse practitioner and reviewing [...]
A protein and veggie-packed Mexican skillet that has summer written all over it... even if you choose to eat it at the start of spring! This dish looks like all sorts of summertime. It tastes like it, too! About two weeks ago, Omaha enjoyed 88 degree weather in the middle of MARCH. It was slightly [...]
A vegan and gluten-free Single-Serve Cacao Nib Banana Bread Muffin that perfectly satisfies your sweet tooth in a healthier way. Remember when I said that I was a big-time Tuesday hater? I wasn't lying. I generally am not a fan. But I am going to make an exception today. This Tuesday is a bit different [...]
A simple, yet hearty chickpea salad recipe that is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike! Some of you are probably thinking... "not another chickpea salad!" Or if you are like me, you may be thinking... "Yes! Another chickpea salad!" There are plenty of chickpea salads floating around the blogosphere- so many of which are extremely delicious- but [...]
