4.87 18 Published Jan 19, 2024, Updated Nov 05, 2024 I know, I know, cabbage soup doesn’t sound too exciting, but you’ve got to trust me on this one! It’s nutritious, flavorful, and oh, so comforting—similar to my detox soup or lasagna soup when you’re craving something warm and nourishing. This one has quickly become one of my favorite EBF soups to make on chilly days, and I can’t wait for you to try it....

4.15 6 Published Aug 23, 2021, Updated Jun 04, 2024 This cilantro rice is a copycat of Chipotle’s white rice and it’s such a great base for burritos and burrito bowls! What Type of Rice to Use There are so many different types of rice it can be kind of overwhelming when you look for rice at the grocery store! For this recipe I recommend using long grain rice. I’m using long grain white rice for this recipe (it’s what Chipotle uses), but you can also use long grain brown rice if you prefer....

We all felt better (physically AND emotionally!) after eating this. Ingredients Needed The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize it depending on your preferences and what you need to use up. Need to use up some ground beef or have it waiting in your freezer? Use that! Have some leftover pot roast? Use that instead of hamburger! Zucchini? Yellow squash? Bell peppers? Celery? Spinach? Use them! Here’s what I used:...

Anyone else not a fan of the overly creamy, mayo-drenched coleslaws you sometimes get at cookouts? The kind where you can’t taste - or hardly even see - the actual cabbage mix it’s swimming in? Yeah, no thanks. Today I’m sharing my favorite easy, no mayo coleslaw, which is the perfect addition to any summer cookout. I always use this coleslaw with my 3-ingredient slow cooker pulled pork (served on sandwiches or sliders) and it’s great with BBQ chicken burgers or sandwiches too....

The best thing about food blogging for me has always been the feedback. Every time I hear from someone that they tried one of my recipes and that it turned out well for them, it makes my day. And completes that process of creation for me. Last year I made some incredible Spicy Fajita Steak Quesadillas and even though that post didn’t exactly catch fire, I’ve gotten some amazing compliments from people around the world who have tried it....

If you’re on the lookout for more plant-based meal-prep recipes, you’ll also love my White Bean Salad, Creamy Carrot and Lentil Soup, and Easy Chana Masala. I’m tofu’s #1 fan but edamame is quickly becoming one of my favorite sources of plant-based protein! Other than being loaded with plant protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, these soybeans are also incredibly versatile. I love tossing them in a salad, stir fry, soup, noodle dish, or any meal that needs a boost of protein and texture....

You’ll need a few artificial flowers in Thanksgiving-ish colors. Or not. A neon pink turkey could be cool. I seriously just walked around my house. I had a couple in my craft drawer and I pulled the one below right out of a big fall decoration thing I have. If not,flowers are pretty cheap this time of year at the craft stores. Pull the flower off of the stem. Then grab the center of the flower (that little brown part) and pop it right out....

Our first week back at school has gone amazingly well! My son is starting kindergarten (yes, I cried when he left on day one), and my daughter is going into 3rd grade. We moved them to a new school this year so I was a little nervous about each of them getting adjusted. They already LOVE it! It helps a little that they are at the school I went to for K-12....

They’re the perfect healthy dessert to have on hand this summer and would also be a great addition to bring to all your summer potlucks....

Sometimes you just need chocolate for breakfast. I work as a health and nutrition editor and I certainly have absorbed quite a bit of knowledge and know-how over the years about proper nutrition and good health. But I still like chocolate for breakfast. And when it’s as clean as this recipe, it doesn’t even make me pause. Healthy chocolate pancakes We’ve got chocolate goodness and it’s also whole wheat and naturally sweetened....

Those are my kitchen windows, and what you see is a sudden winter storm that resulted in school cancellation. A snow day meant that suddenly my quiet day at home to work on today’s chicken dinner post was quickly interrupted by shouts of “NO SCHOOL!!” “I’m hungry!” “When is it gonna be waffle day?!” I couldn’t argue. Seemed like a perfectly good waffle day to me. But little do they know that their favorite waffles are actually nutrient-packed-super-waffles....

So after a few laborious rounds of testing, I created the perfect chocolate sauce recipe to share with you....

I actually scaled up that same recipe for my regular waffle cones so it made a few more and then added a little cocoa powder to the flour. I also added a little baking powder because some recipes use that and honestly I don’t think there’s much of a difference. I’m leaving it in, but if you leave it out, these still work great! Waffle cone batter is super simple....

I am not a fan of rich curries, but there are few that I just can’t resist. I do not cook these types of curries very often, but whenever I do I make sure that they taste so good that it can make me forget about the extra calories. Hyderabadi Baghare baingan is one of such curry. Watch Video Recipe of How to Make Bagara Baingain Many people hate eggplant or brinjal { I hated it as a child} but now I say if you hate eggplant/brinjal you probably don’t know how to cook it right....
