Meal Prepping Tips and Healthy Vegan Recipes
I’ve been vegan off and on for over two years. Lately, I’ve been back to full veganism minus some pasture-raised eggs occasionally. Right before I got pregnant with Sienna, I tried eating some meat again and really wasn’t a fan. During the first trimester of my pregnancy, I had a lot of bad nausea and…

What I Ate Today: Elimination Diet
As I mentioned in a previous post I was completing an elimination diet in hopes of discovering any obvious food sensitivities that were causing digestive upset, fatigue and allergy symptoms. I eliminated soy, wheat, corn, nuts, citrus, yeast, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine and nightshade vegetables. The diet also eliminates dairy, eggs, pork and beef but I…

Loaded Vegan Nachos
Another amazing vegan meal that is traditionally loaded with meat and lots of dairy. You will not miss either when you make these loaded nachos! We were supposed to go visit friends this weekend in Dallas but Emilia got some nasty bug, either just a cold or croup, and we weren’t able to go. It…

What I Ate Today – 7 Months Vegan!
Seven months vegan and going strong! I told Joe the other day that he was the second best decision I ever made. First is accepting Jesus into my life and the third…choosing to go vegan. I honestly think my entire health/eating journey has led up to this point and I’m so happy with the choice…

Butternut Squash, Fig and Spinach Pizza
Eating a plant-based diet doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite pizza! Before eating vegan we used to make this pizza combination frequently but used goat cheese and sometimes added bacon. By simply removing the bacon and using a vegan cheese, we can still have this yummy dish. I made my own pizza…

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Hummus and Roasted Chickpeas
This is really more of a dinner idea than a recipe but it was so easy and delicious I had to share! Sweet potatoes, hummus, avocados, and chickpeas are among my favorite foods. And my kiddos really like them as well. Enzo was picking up the sweet potato and eating it like a sandwich. I…

Butternut Squash, Pomegranate and Kale Bowl
I am obsessed with salad and grain bowls. They are super quick and easy to make and are very customizable based on what you have on hand. Tahini dressing has become my all-time favorite sauce for everything. Tahini can be a little pricey, however I just found some on Amazon for about $12 for two…

What I Ate Today – Mostly Vegan
As I’ve talked about in a few posts now, I decided to start eating vegan about 2 months ago. It honestly hasn’t been as difficult as I originally thought. Not to say I haven’t had dreams about devouring plates of chicken…but overall I’ve been able to come up with meals that have been satisfying and…

Pesto Beef & Veggie Noddles
It’s been a really long time since I posted a recipe on here! I’ve been addicted to these Austin-based veggie noodles and couldn’t help but try and make a recipe for the blog. They are super easy to use and fairly inexpensive. I haven’t bought my own spiralizer yet and so these noodles are my…
