This salad has only four ingredients (plus dressing) and is super simple to make. It’s perfect for a summer night!
Roasted Summer Veggies
These roasted veggies are a simple summer treat. They go well as a side dish to burgers, chicken or whatever you love to cook on the grill! Pick up some summer veggies at your local farmer’s market (zucchini and squash are two of my favorites) and make sure to clean and dry them well before using! Method: Cut lengthwise into …
Soba Noodles
These soba noodles are great as a side or totally on their own. Top them off with some spicy shrimp (recipe below) for an added kick. These are also a cookout crowd pleaser! Thanks to my friend Amy for sharing this great recipe from One Dish Vegan by Robin Robertson! Spicy Soba Noodles: 10 oz. Soba …
Pina Colada Smoothie

Healthier Oatmeal Cookies
I believe in dessert and indulging. Food is a source of nutrients, but also a source of pleasure – let’s not forget that. I strongly believe the problem with sugar is the insane amounts of it we’re consuming – especially hidden sugars that come in processed and prepackaged foods. If you’re making most of your food at home, you know …

Don’t worry, you won’t even taste it (although it does look a little green)! Ingredients: 1/2 c. frozen mango 1/2 banana 1 large handful of spinach 1 tsp chia seeds 1/2 c. coconut …
