Crispy Tofu Bowl

December 6, 2018 by Gina +

I love this bowl for a change up on my standard vegetable bowl.  The flavorful, crispy tofu is delicious paired with  citrus rice and nicely complimented with fresh radish slices.  The tofu takes a little work to press the water out, then marinate, but if you do this early, it all comes together quickly.  I try to press the tofu for at least 15 minutes so as to get out as much of the water as

Sweet Potato Stew

December 2, 2018 by Gina +

I'd say ninety percent of the meals we cook are made with clean ingredients, a simple process, and they come together quickly.  I just like food to be easy, delicious, and healthy.  Some of my favorites are curries, stews, and veggie bowls.  These check all the marks plus are multiple servings which is great for leftovers and lunches later in the week.  I'm all about keeping it simple.  This sweet

Deliciously Clean Pecan Pie

November 30, 2018 by Gina +

Want to know something crazy?  I had never had pecan pie until a few years back.  After my first taste I realized I had been missing out all those years.  I only gave it a try because it's my husband's absolute favorite and I trust his taste (hello, he married me lol).  Sadly, looking into typical ingredients, I learned it's filled with not great stuff, processed oils, loads of sugar, too much

Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl

November 29, 2018 by Gina +

Fall flew by but that doesn't mean we have to say farewell to one of the best parts of it, pumpkin!  Aside from how delicious most pumpkin spiced things are, it's hugely beneficial for our bodies.  Its loaded with fiber and betacarotene.  Pumpkin is also great for the immune system, which is perfect for this time of the year.

Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos

November 8, 2018 by Gina +

Tortillas, cauliflower, and hot sauce; all the makings for something delicious.  When I did eat meat, I was never a 'wing' person.  To be honest, I probably only had them once or twice.  But I do love hot sauce, and the idea of baking the current most versatile vegetable in a kicking sauce, then chucking it into a taco, well I am 'that kind' of person.  Made with simple and clean ingredients with

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. 🍅🤍
