It’s The Little Things

March 31, 2020 By Holly Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but life feels really heavy right now. The news is more present and more intense than ever. We are socially distancing (Thank you! Keep it up!) which is important, but can result in feeling disconnected from our friends, family, and life in general. And all of our normal routines have been disrupted. It can be overwhelming, to say the least. In the midst of all of this chaos, it’s the little things in life each day to bring a laugh or some joy. Need a little pick me up or just want to laugh? We’re sharing some bits of goodness for your week. Read on for more.

Skillet Roasted Broccoli with Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette

February 18, 2020 By Holly 2 Comments

We all know that we should eat more vegetables. It’s great for our health and good for our planet. Let’s face it though, vegetables can sometimes be boring. Our new recipe for Skillet Roasted Broccoli with Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette is anything but boring. In fact, I think it just might be your new weekday favorite.

Broccoli is a go-to vegetable of mine for a lot of reasons. It’s inexpensive, readily available, and jam packed with nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and even protein! It’s also a great source of dietary fiber. What more could you want? Oh yeah, something that tastes great, too.

Vanilla Rose Meringues

February 11, 2020 By Lane 2 Comments

I was recently asked by a local magazine to come up with recipe ideas for rose water. Rose water? That was an ingredient I never even considered using. But you all know me. I can’t say no to a challenge! And I have to admit, I was intrigued. Intrigued enough to take the challenge. Here is my experience (spoiler alert: I learned A LOT!) and the recipe for my Vanilla Rose Meringues!

Disagreement: a little rant.

January 31, 2020 By Lane Leave a Comment

I was going to bring you a list of resources for Whole Food Plant Based Eating today (and don’t worry, I will still do that), but a recent Facebook thread got me going and now I just can’t think about anything else. And although I’m sure trying to avoid controversy on this little old blog of ours, I need to take a minute to discuss a rational approach to disagreement. (Spoiler Alert: BE KIND)

For January, I am doing a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet. And although this sounds super simple, when you take a deep dive it can just get more confusing. So let’s talk about this! You may find a healthier way of living…

Instant Pot Vegan White Bean Soup

January 14, 2020 By Lane 1 Comment

I like to make January an eating challenge, a “reset” if you will. Last year I did Whole30, which was great (and hard) but I was a little alarmed at the amount of meat I ate. This year I decided to go Whole Food Plant Based (or at least vegetarian, I’m keeping my olive oil for now) for January. Turns out this Instant Pot Vegan White Bean Soup was the perfect dinner, with plenty of leftovers for lunches! Flavorful and filling, you won’t miss the meat.

This Salmon Breakfast Scramble is in honor of one of my very favorite breakfast dishes that I used to get at a local restaurant. I knew that it couldn’t be very hard to make and I wasn’t wrong. Easy enough for a home cook, full of protein and flavor, this one will soon be one of your favorites!
