4 Published Jan 18, 2019, Updated Nov 22, 2021 The only way I was able to lose and keep the weight off was by changing my eating habits and adding in physical activity. Sounds easy when it’s written like that, but we all know that it’s not always simple – especially the healthy eating part. That said, I’ve found one thing that has really helped me stick with healthy eating = meal planning and prepping....

When I was growing up, the water was a huge part of our lives. I literally don’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t a good swimmer or when I was scared of the water. I took several sessions of swimming lessons every summer, mostly because I enjoyed it, but I also spent countless hours in neighborhood pools, community pools, lakes, rivers, and canals. During the 1992 Olympics, I was sure I was going to be an Olympic swimmer and cut my hair off like Summer Sanders (which I can’t even find any pictures of, that’s how unfortunate the haircut was–it’s like the Internet has been scrubbed)....

This time of year you can find artichokes readily available in grocery stores and just one large one can feed 2-4 adults. I’m actually not a huge fan of regular steamed artichokes, but grilling gives them amazing flavor, plus they just look cool. Try this for your next get together and it will surely impress! First here’s a little tutorial on preparing an artichoke. This goes for if you’re going to just steam and eat as well....

I love having a few staple recipes for when bananas are getting too ripe. If you have brown bananas, make some pancakes! I don’t know about you, but we have a lot of banana eaters in my house. The 3 year old loves them, and my older daughter eats one practically every night before bed. So I tend to go big and buy a lot of bananas! But no matter what, there’s always a banana or two that get too ripe before we get to them....

This recipe does require enough planning to marinate a piece of meat, but aside from that, the whole recipe is prepped and done in the time it takes for the steak to cook (which is only 10-15 minutes). So if you can get your steak prepped, this makes a great quick and easy meal for a busy night. The marinade (which we’ll also use to season the rice portion) is just a slight adaptation of Kate’s yummy Greek Dressing....

Start with some basic dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and a little dry mustard. Add in some shredded cheddar cheese (I suggest shredding your own from a block as opposed to using bagged, shredded cheese, which doesn’t melt as well). Throw in some diced deli ham for a flavorful, salty bite (I’ve used bacon before, and it’s amazing), and a handful of chopped chives. (finely sliced green onions would work as well....

5 55 Published Sep 09, 2022, Updated Oct 21, 2024 I love slicing up fresh apples and serving them with my date caramel sauce, making homemade applesauce and whipping up loads of apple baked goods. I love my vegan apple bread and apple cider donuts, but this new apple cake might literally take the cake when it comes to my favorite apple treat. And let’s not forget about the delicious cinnamon pecan crumb topping… that’s definitely the best part if you ask me!...

4.43 28 Published Feb 08, 2017, Updated Feb 13, 2023 I was so excited when I received a copy of her cookbook in the mail a couple weeks ago. I mean it’s tilted Energy Balls and full of energy ball recipes… obviously I’m a fan. A little more about the cookbook — it’s filled with 100 recipes for no-bake balls that are 100% vegan and gluten-free. There are breakfast balls for an energy boost in the morning, lunch-box balls for a mid-day treat, brain-boosting balls with ingredients known to enhance concentration and focus, performance enhancing balls to boost stamina and aid in workout recovery and bedtime balls with ingredients to promote rest and relaxation or boost your libido....

I so adore a dinner where I just throw everything into a pan and cook it up. Sometimes it’s my veggie burger scramble, which is my lazy way of making a veggie burger. Or this sweet potato, black bean and spinach sauté. Such a great combo. Or my 15 minute southwest chicken skillet or ground turkey, rice and veggie skillet. Add everything in, sometimes in layers, season it and serve it up....

4.63 37 Published Apr 28, 2016, Updated Jan 17, 2023 Omg! I can even begin to describe how excited I am to share today’s recipe with you. It’s one of the most unique recipes I’ve ever come across and it’s for a veg-friendly “pulled pork” sandwich using hearts of palm!! I’ve always enjoyed eating hearts of palm on salad or straight up from the can, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized that this vegetable makes a mean vegan BBQ sandwich....

I’ve made honey caramel before–it’s so easy, just a few ingredients. But I never thought to make a caramel apple with it until I saw a contributor at Everyday Magazine do it in a recent issue. I love honey, and honey caramel has a distinct honey flavor. It’s a slightly different taste combo than your normal caramel, so it’s fun to switch things up! When say it involves just a few ingredients I’m not exaggerating....

We are recovering from some winter colds at my house… I seem to have dodged the bullet but it’ll be a few more days until I’m really in the clear. Seems to be going around - I know so many people who are laid up right now. Y’all stay healthy! I’m glad everyone’s feeling better though because tomorrow night is the daddy daughter dance at my daughter’s school. It’s such a sweet little date night for her and my husband....

The first time I cooked it in my Instant Pot, I used the Instant Pot directions (which are more along the lines of stovetop water to rice proportions). I wound up with mushy, waterlogged rice. The next time around, someone told me that I needed to cut way back on the water, which gave me perfect, fuss-free brown rice. So now I make it likes this a few times a week and freeze any leftovers for easy use in the future....

We’re going to start by mixing up a quick pan salsa. You’ll be amazed at how flavorful this is, with just a few simple ingredients. Finely mince some onion, jalapeno, and garlic. You want them minced small so they cook quickly. The jalapeno adds just a slight kick, but not too much heat. I’m a total wimp when it comes to spicy foods, so if I say it’s mild, I really mean it....

0 8 Published Jun 27, 2017, Updated Aug 12, 2022 Today’s hummus avocado toast is such a good combo. It’s loaded with garlicky hummus, creamy avocado, a little red onion, cayenne pepper and sriracha toasted hemp seeds for a spicy crunch. I have a ton of hemp seed recipes here on EBF, but until now all of them have called for hulled hemp seeds or hemp hearts. So today we’re shaking things up with toasted hemp seeds, a new product from one of my brand partner’s Manitoba Harvest....

A popular Sri Lankan snack, these Jackfruit cutlets / croquettes are perfect for snacking, and for parties! Sri Lankan appetizers and snacks Sri Lankan cutlets are legendary. They are an extremely popular snack/appetizer.
