Hey babes! I love my veggies just as they are (ROASTED), but the easiest way to get my kids pound their broccoli is with cheese. And, truthfully, I love me some nachos. Cashew cheese is bomb as all hell, but it can be expensive and is very calorie dense. So, as a slightly lighter, cheaper […]
Sauces and Dressings
Avocado Dressing (Vegan, Oil-free)
Hey babes, I made this recently to go with my cauliflower wraps and now I’m using it on everything. Let me know if the comments what you think and how you like it! Enjoy! Also, I don’t get any money back for the links I post, just trying to make references so you know what […]
Vegan Pad Thai (Oil-Free, GF, WFPB)
Hey babes, This last week, I was chatting with my mom when she mentioned checking out a noodle bar in town with her friends. As she told me what all they ate, one dishes caught my immediate interest: Pad Thai. I’ve been making it at home for ages, and I love the spicy blend of […]
Vegan Cashew Alfredo
Hey babes, So, when I was in my late teens in the military, I met a wonderful couple that I became fast friends with. And the woman of the couple taught me how to make homemade Alfredo sauce during one of our regular weekend get-togethers. Up to that point, my experience with alfredo had always […]
Lazy Weeknight Stir-fry (Mason jar sauce, oil-free, vegan)
Hey babes! So, this is a bit of an honest but hopefully relatable confession: there are plenty of nights I fix a different meal for my picky kids than myself. I know, no one should be a short order cook, blah blah blah. But, sorry, sometimes my kids just want some veggie dogs or pasta, […]

(Cashew) Cream of the Crop
Hey babes, If there has been a forbidden fruit in my health journey, it is absolutely, with one-hundred percent certainty heavy cream. Even before I gave up dairy, I would recoil as if from a snake when I’d see it pop up in ingredient lists. Tikka masala? Nope. Alfredo sauce? Not today. Thick, creamy soups. […]
Spicy Oil-Free Pizza Sauce
Hey babes, Quick, what’s your favorite pizza sauce? If you said anything other than tomato marinara, you are free to leave. Just kidding! I love a white sauce, or a pesto, or even a buffalo. But when I think pizza, I think of spicy, delicious tomato sauce. Equally important, what do you dip your pizza […]
The Holy Trinity (of Vinaigrettes)
Hey babes! So, are you ready for a secret? A DEVASTATING one??? I eat what some may consider to be….BORING LUNCHES. I know, truly shameful. Really though, I am a busy babe. On top of writing for you lovely folks and raising children, I have a career and a strict gym schedule. It all takes […]
5-Minute Serrano Salsa
Hi babes! So as you’ve probably been able to tell from some of my previous recipes, your resident narrator loves spicy foods. I’m also lucky enough to live in an area with a lot of ethnic grocery stores, so I have the fortune of access to dozens of species of peppers, from the humble Jalapeno […]
