This is one of my favorite lazy day dinners. I always keep jars of tomato sauce in the pantry, and kale in the freezer. So I can whip this up almost any day, even if I haven’t been to the food store in a while. And it’s ready in no time. If I have mozzarella,

Gluten Free Banana Bread
Gluten free baking can be really tricky. It’s tough to get the right texture, and not use a ton of weird ingredients. When I took the first bite of this one, I was doing a happy dance. This week has been a little tough, and nothing quite says comfort like banana bread. Something about it

Apple Cheddar Wrap Sandwich
I am not sure what it is about putting food into a wrap that makes it so tasty. The simplest ingredients are transformed to amazing meals! Now that I can find good quality wraps, I like throwing a bunch of healthy stuff in a wrap for an easy last minute lunch or dinner. Apples, cheddar,

Healthy Queso
Dear Queso, Where have you been all my life? I think it was destiny that we meet, and end up together. I only recently discovered queso, an incredible cheesy sauce that makes the usually delicious and amazing burritos I get at the local restaurant so good it should be illegal. For something so simple, a

Vegetarian Spaghetti Carbonara
Do I talk about comfort food a lot? I feel like I do. I feel like I have a problem with talking about: being obsessed with things (because I often get obsessed with stuff, when it’s awesome), exclamation mark usage (I am a chipper person and really love them…!), and comfort food. But I can’t

Black Bean Soup (Vegetarian and Vegan)
I might be a bit on a soup kick. I can’t really help myself. Other than my usual obsession with it, and need to eat it regularly, hubby bought me these soup crocks for Christmas. Of course I had to make soups!! I always find it hilarious when he tells my Mom what I want

Potato and Cheese Soup
You can’t go wrong with potatoes and cheese. I love soup in the cooler weather and this is so easy and so fantastic. It also freezes super well, so you can make a big batch and freeze it. When I made a batch of Healthy Mashed Potatoes, I used half for this soup and half

Pumpkin Granola Bars
This is another manifestation of my pumpkin obsession. You know how pumpkin flavored anything is delicious, and everything is better with chocolate? Well pumpkin + chocolate is like heaven. It can perk up even the kind of day where you are running late and then lock all of your keys (including the car keys) in

Sweet Potato Skins
Sometimes, I want healthy junk food. To qualify: what I mean is recipes made over with healthier ingredients. After a long day at the office, this is such an awesome dinner to come home to. And I actually feel good after I eat it!! So, though I eat this kind of thing for dinner from

Vegan Sausage Flavored Potatoes
When hubby suggested I make these (yes it was totally his idea) I thought it was kind of a strange concept. But, he is not often wrong, so I went with it. And boy am I glad I did, these were sooooooo good!! I made them for breakfast on Saturday morning with vegan scrambled eggs.

Simple Grilled Potatoes
Serves 2 Mmmm crispy potatoes. They are up there on the ‘most comforting foods’ list for me. “Three potatoes for two of us is plenty” said hubby, and while I said “yeah totally” I was thinking “more!!!” because they were addictively yummy. Good thing we left it at 3, as my eyes are generally

Vegetarian Cheesesteaks
With Speedy Slaw Makes 2 cheesesteaks (serves 2-4) and a slew of slaw (hehe) I really love cheesesteaks, but for most of my life I have not been such a huge fan of meat. These are so yummy because the filling is mostly veggies, and they really hit the spot. They are really good for
