Chickpea Jalapeno Veggie Burger

August 2, 2019 by Gina +

I've already made these veggie burgers several times and plan on doing another batch this weekend and freezing some for later. They are that good. It's also a great way to use up some zucchini. If you're like us and your squash plants are going wild this summer, you'll need all the recipes you can get. 1 1/4 cup oats1 can drained and rinsed chickpeas1/2 small yellow onion, diced1 jalapeno

Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread

July 26, 2019 by Gina +

New favorite bread here. Cinnamon roll banana bread. One of the best parts of a cinnamon roll is the gooey, sweet, cinnamon filling. Well, I took that, swirled in into and on top of banana bread. It’s amazing. It also happens to be gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free! It’s been the best snack, dessert, or breakfast with some nut butter and berries. I highly suggest warming it up before

Banana Berry Protein Smoothie Bowl

July 12, 2019 by Gina +

Smoothies and smoothie bowls are a staple for me. It's an easy way to get in so many good things like fruits and vegetables, plus all the healthy stuff that comes with those. I don't know if it's the warmer summer months or pregnancy, but I crave a good smoothie bowl now more than ever. This is a staple; banana, berries, nut butter, and a plant based protein powder. I'm loving the Four

White Fish Enchiladas with Vegan Cheese Sauce

June 20, 2019 by Gina +

New favorite here! Flaky white fish with a creamy, vegan cheese sauce all wrapped in a warm tortilla. These are so dang good and surprisingly simple. Another plus? Good, real ingredients. They aren't covered in cheese, instead the sauce is cashews, chili, and salsa. We use corn tortillas with nothing funky (always read the ingredients*) and fresh, white fish. Healthy, real food with

Chunky Cashew Oat Granola

June 17, 2019 by Gina +

I always forget how much I love homemade granola. It's so simple and there are endless variations. I keep granola on hand for sprinkling on so many things, yogurt, chia pudding, smoothies, and so much more. There are some amazing store bought kinds, but homemade can be just as tasty for a fraction of the price. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:80]

One of my favorite ways to eat summer tomatoes 🍅 One of my favorite ways to eat summer tomatoes 🍅

Blistered cherry tomatoes, creamy white beans, cottage cheese and plenty of crusty sourdough. It’s simple, hearty, satisfying and has plenty of protein without feeling like a “high-protein” meal.

Here’s how I make it:

A big handful of cherry tomatoes
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
Olive oil
Salt + pepper
Squeeze of fresh lemon
Good Culture cottage cheese @good_culture 
Toasted sourdough for serving

Heat a good drizzle of olive oil in a skillet and add the cherry tomatoes. Let them cook until blistered and starting to burst, then give them a light mash.

Add the white beans, season really well with salt and pepper and finish with a squeeze of lemon. Let everything warm together for a few minutes.

Spoon into a bowl, add plenty of cottage cheese on top and serve with toasted or crusty sourdough for scooping.

So simple. SO good.
Save this one for tomato season. 🍅🤍
