Creamy Mushroom, Herb & Sun-dried Tomato Zoodles
I am at a complete loss for words with this dish. It was just absolutely delicious. I grew up eating my mom's version of this which was made with chicken, cream, lots of cheese, and much fewer veggies. So I'm beyond excited to have finally perfected my favorite childhood dish. I can't wait for you to try it! I made a homemade cream sauce instead of actual cream, omitted the cheese, and added mushrooms, chickpeas, spinach and zucchini noodles. Heaven. Zoodles are great for th

Sweet Potato Tortilla Tacos w/ Black Bean Dip
Homemade tortillas just hit different. I really just love how simple it was to make my own tortillas, and I feel much better eating them knowing that they aren't filled with extra unnecessary ingredients. Simplicity is always key in my kitchen. To make your own tortillas, you'll just need 1 large sweet potato, and your choice of flour! Chop sweet potato into large chunks. Bring a pot of water to a boil, and add your sweet potato chunks. Boil until soft and tender. Drain your

Fall Greens & Grains Jar with Brussels, Pomegranate Seeds, and Persimmon
I was pretty amazed (& excited!) by how many people commented that they too love Brussels sprouts! So I decided to create another super tasty salad with them, and many more delicious flavors! I think you're going to absolutely love this one, as I did :) These jars are the perfect combination of sweet and savory!

Eggplant Pizza Bites with Mushroom, Green Onion, and Date Sauce
Before I switched to plant based, I used to be obsessed with this restaurant in Beacon Hill (Boston) by Chef Todd English called Figs. My favorite menu item was the Fig & Leek Spicy Shrimp pizza. I searched for figs, but they are unfortunately out of season so I came up with my own little twist on this eggplant creation! This meal has super simple ingredients and the taste was phenomenal! I love sweet & savory so I often combine them! This was flavorful, and perfectly paired!

Air Fried Eggplant “Parm” : Meal Prep
I started a meal prep company a few years back wanting to help people eat healthier, and to help them better understand portions. Every body is different, and we all require different calories, different macros, etc.. It took me a long time to make custom meals for people to meet their needs, but it's what some people need in order to hit their goals. Meal planning, and portion controlling can be time consuming and does require a lot of planning, but if your goals are more th

Air Fried Sweet Potato Fries
If you don't have an air fryer already, be prepared to buy one after reading this! In college, I took a class for public speaking because like most people, I was absolutely terrified of speaking in front of people. For my final speech, I chose something I was (and still am) very passionate about: my air fryer! LOL. I know it sounds silly, but my air fryer changed my life in the best ways! Before I get into the recipe for these crispy and delicious sweet potato fries, I want t

Pesto Zucchini Noodle with Burst Cherry Tomato Sauce
When I make my meals, I always first and foremost want them to taste good. That is my number one requirement. Secondly, I want them to be as fresh and simple as possible, so using as little ingredients as possible, and raw veggies when applicable. I also almost always want a meal that is high in protein . I want to feel good from my meals, and I want them to leave me feeling energized, and filled, but not stuffed/bloated/tired. I eat FREQUENTLY throughout the day so I don't
