Breakfast pizza has long been a favorite food of mine. I don’t make it very much, however, because it’s usually not very healthy, and it isn’t traditionally fast. This pepper and onion naan breakfast pizza is healthier, as well as quick and easy!
Have you tried naan flat breads? I was first exposed to them as an side for curries, but they have many more uses! I used toaster size naan (mini) in this recipe, which was perfect for a single egg! Continue reading

Sometimes, when you try something new, you find a new thing to love. That was me with this recipe, golden potato and black lentil kale salad.
I love kale salads. Kale can be tough, but all you have to do is give it a little massage to soften it right up. I also love black lentils, or beluga lentils, as they have a firm texture and a clean flavor (not earthy like brown lentils). Continue reading

Today I want to tell you about the best airplane food I’ve ever had. It was a vegan green curry, and I loved it so much, I was inspired to make my own high protein vegan thai green curry.
Usually, I don’t think much of the food they serve on airplanes. Vegetarians are stuck with mushy pasta dishes, and no other options. The last time I few, they ran out of mushy pasta, and I refused to take the chicken dish. Continue reading

Today I am sharing a recipe for roasted red pepper and tomato soup that is stupid easy to make, and loaded with rich flavors.
My husband doesn’t really like peppers, but he enjoyed a bowl of roasted red pepper soup at a wedding we attended recently. I knew I had to recreate the dish because we had found a way we could both enjoy red peppers! Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme is Kids that Cook. The thing I remember cooking most as a child was tortillas. Mom would make a fresh batch every time we had tacos, and it was my job to flip them in the skillet. These vegetarian taco lunch wraps remind me of those tacos nights as a kid!
I didn’t like to have much in my tacos as a kid. Plain tacos was always my request. We always had homemade refried beans to go with our homemade tortillas, and I created this taco lunch wrap based on those 2 ingredients. Continue reading

Recently, I came across the idea for loaded feta fries while reading a magazine. However, I didn’t want to heat up the oven for fries during the heat of summer! Instead, I recreated the recipe to make these tomato and cucumber loaded greek nachos!
Nachos are such an easy meal, I have been enjoying them a lot this summer, usually heated to melt some cheese. This nacho recipe is different for many reasons, but especially because it is cold! Continue reading

This tex mex black bean wedge salad is loaded with veggies including corn, tomatoes, and black beans for protein. The dressing is made from yogurt and hot sauce and is creamy, tangy, and spicy!
I love salads on a hot summer day because you don’t have to cook, and heat up the kitchen. Salads can also be a great light meal if you take it easy on the toppings, which I tend to over do. That’s what work outs are for, right?! Continue reading

I am a huge fan of eggs, but my husband is not. Therefore, having eggs has become a treat I enjoy when I’m only cooking for myself. This zucchini tomato fritatta for one is a perfect light summer lunch, just for me!
This spring I fell in love with this kale and potato fritatta, but it was a little too much to eat all by myself. Summertime zucchini and tomato fill the fritatta up, but keep it light. Continue reading
