Just a few months ago, I moved to a new apartment in a totally different neighborhood than where I had been living before. To be honest, the hardest adjustment wasn’t learning where the closest subway station was, which gym was nearby or what time to take my dog on a walk to avoid the winding lines at the elevator. Instead, the biggest challenge for me was learning to navigate the new grocery store across the street….

Vegan Tempeh Taco Salad
Like many of you, every year around this time, I find myself fully focused on fulfilling my New Years resolutions. And, like every year, I make several health-related goals. This year, one of my goals is to eat more veggies! Even though I think I eat a pretty good amount, you can never have enough, right?…
Loaded Vegan Veggie Burger
Veggie burgers are awesome. Not only are they easy to make and sound pretty much 24/7, but they are also a great way to sneak a few extra servings of veggies into your day.
I confess that I usually have a pack of Morningstar spicy black bean burgers sitting in my freezer for when nothing else sounds good or I’m in a rush and need to eat something fast….
Chickpea Curry with Veggie Rice
Indian food is one of my favorite types of cuisine. I love the spices, the flavors and, of course, the fact that it’s super vegetarian-friendly.
However, Indian food can be hard to make at home. If you don’t have access to an extensive collection of spices, replicating that characteristic Indian taste can be close to impossible. In fact, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried whipping up my favorite Indian dishes at home only to be left disappointed by the lackluster flavor….
Kale Sweet Potato Breakfast Bake
After enjoying a few weeks back home in Kansas and then taking some time to readjust back to real life, I’m finally ready to get back to sharing yummy recipes and talking all about my favorite thing–food!
As I’ve mentioned before, working from home has given me the chance to really enjoy my breakfasts lately. I have time to wake up, leisurely sip a hot cup of cocoa or coffee and whip up something delicious to start the day on the right foot….
Pesto Zoodles
My world was changed earlier this week with the arrival of a little cardboard Amazon box outside my door. Inside was a spiralizer, aka the gadget that I’m pretty sure will change how I eat pasta for ever.
I had been meaning to try spiralizing for months. I’m always on the hunt for ways to sneak more veggies into my day and the spiralizer seemed like the perfect solution.
More pasta, more veggies…it’s a win-win, right?

Rainbow Breakfast Skillet
So I recently started a new job that’s basically like my dream job. I ended up leaving another job that I actually really liked and enjoyed because this one offered me a chance to do something I really love: write about nutrition.
In addition to giving me the opportunity to follow one of my passions, it also allows me to work from home. That’s right–no more waking up before the sun has even risen, taking an hour-long train ride into the Bronx, cramming onto a packed train during rush hour and then coming home totally exhausted just from the commute alone….
Scrambled Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day…or it at least definitely makes it into the top 3 😉
That being said, it can be easy to get into a rut when it comes to breakfast. It’s all too easy to stick to a few breakfast classics on rotation: oatmeal, yogurt, omelettes, repeat….
Three Bean Vegan Chili
So just when I thought things would finally start to calm down and I would be able to breathe again, things got even more crazy.
I have a jam-packed schedule for the next four weeks, with a vacation, a surgery, a visit from my parents, and plenty of work-related stressors all looming over me….
Asparagus, Chickpea, and Feta Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
There’s lots of spring cleaning going on around here this morning 😉
I’ve been cleaning up the blog with some minor tweaks to make it look better and a little sharper. There are some new categories up at the top to help you find posts easier and there’s also a button on the left sidebar that lets you subscribe and get new posts sent directly to your email….
