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. [...]
Wednesday, Wednesday... oh how I like thee! Not love, though. Love is reserved for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But only until about midday on Sunday. At that point the Monday-eve blues start setting in. As with nearly every other Wednesday here on Clean Eating Veggie Girl, I am celebrating What I Ate Wednesday and sharing [...]
When you take a peek into my pantry, there are a few things that you will always, always find. Oatmeal? Check! Popcorn? Check! Nut butter? Check! And one other thing that I am quite fond of... Rice cakes! I kid you not. From the time I moved into my apartment over two years ago, I honestly [...]
Happy Friday! Jeremy is in town and I could not be more excited. I'll be working this morning and then taking the rest of the afternoon off. We have big plans for good eating and drinking this weekend, and I promise to recap it all on Monday. But until then, I am joining in on [...]
It's April! Seriously? April? How in the heck did that happen? No complaints here. I'm excited that we are one month closer to summer! I don't have any fun April Fools tricks to play on you today. Instead, I have a full day of delicious eats to share. There's no joking about that! These are [...]
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 [...]
