Just Peachy Summer Salsa
I’m still holding onto summer with this fresh and fruity salsa that tastes delicious, basically on anything. There’s not much pre-prepping involved in this salsa except if you’d like to make the pickled red onions I used here, but feel free to omit this step and use fresh red onion! My garden is exploding with mint at this time of the summer so this is one of the best ways to put it to good use! (Mint and lemon water is alwaaays a good idea, too!)
Maple Pecan Bliss Bites
I’m so excited to share these delicious and seemingly decadent bites with you all! They make an amazing afternoon snack or nighttime dessert. They’re full of healthy fats that are nourishing, satiety inducing, and hormone balancing. The maple syrup gives a nice sweetness without being overbearing, and the higher healthy fat content helps to reduce the rate of glucose absorption, creating a more steady release of insulin and no sugar crash later! (you’re welcome :P). (more…)
Raw Cookie Dough Bites
Ok you guys, I’m so excited to share these simple (and wholesome) Raw Cookie dough bites with you! I stumbled upon Hail Merry’s Cookie dough bites and knew I had to try to re-create a version for the blog arsenal. Made with 6 simple ingredients and no baking required, these bites are great for anyone to whip up – even if you feel a bit rusty in the kitchen! The only wait time is about an hour in the refrigerator to let the “batter” firm up. (more…)
Spicy Turmeric Roasted Chickpeas
Hi, guys! I hope you’re all having a fabulous start to the week. I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes for meal prepping that’s so versatile. Roasted chickpeas are awesome as a snack, added to salads or even main dishes to boost the nutritional content. This spicy version has a delicious kick to take any meal up a notch. As you can see from most of my recipes, I LOVE using chickpeas in all different types of ways – mashed into hummus, roasted, or just plain on top of salads. They’re full of fiber to aid in digestive health and helps rid the body of cholesterol. Chickpeas are also a good source of plant based protein – especially combined with a grain such as rice. Beans and grains are incomplete proteins, but when eaten together become “complete.” This doesn’t have to be in the same meal, but same day is best!
Sweet Potato Toast Three Ways
Hello and welcome to my new and improved site! New year, new big things! I wanted a “fresher,” cleaner appearance and the ability to share my meal plans, counseling packages and more with you all, so stay tuned! If you haven’t signed up for e-mail notifications, you’ll want to do that on the right side of this page to stay in the loop!
Cue one of the latest food trends, sweet potato toast. This is a new craze that’s been floating around the internet, so I thought I’d share my spin on it or introduce it to those of you who haven’t heard of such a thing. Sweet potatoes are one of my FAVORITE vegetables, so I knew I had to give this one a try – share my love for sweet potatoes with this Roasted Sweet Potato Salad or snack on this Sweet Potato and Cucumber Mozz Fix.

Fresh Spotlight: Healthy Snacking 101
Are you in need of some serious snack inspiration? It’s a very popular question I get from clients all the time: What are some healthy snacks that will keep me on track with my goals, and what should I look for? It can be confusing as you browse the supermarket and see thousands of items with fancy labels with so-called health claims. With snacking, we want to get back to basics and keep it simple, as in going for whole foods that are filled with fiber and nutrition to keep you energized, light and nourished until your next meal.
Cocoa Fresh Energy Balls
Who needs candy when you have something as delicious as these chewy, fudgey, and crunchy energy bites? Regular candy packed with sugar gives you a quick rush of energy and then a crash not soon after, leaving you feeling crummy and ready to snack on the next sugary snack, only to repeat the cycle over and over.
Sun Dried Tomato & Rosemary Baba Ghanoush
Baba ghanoush is a delicious dip made with roasted eggplants, if some of you do not know! It has such an amazing texture from the roasted eggplant and olive oil. Many recipes call for tahini, but this version is sans tahini and just as amazing. The sun dried tomato and rosemary really give a punch of flavor. (more…)
Original Hummus
I recently brought this to a gathering with my friends and it was a huge hit, I couldn’t not share it on the blog. And it’s so simple that anyone can make it at home!
