Hummus

Hello hummus.

Creamy, delicious, full of protein & healthy fats. Hummus is a perfect snack, addition to your wrap or even a salad!

Unfortunately most kinds you buy from the store are full of preservatives and chemicals. Yucky. The good news? You can make it at home very easily! Here is a basic hummus recipe, I haven’t did much experimenting with different flavors…YET! 🙂

My favorite ways to use it:

vegetable dip
in wraps (in place of mayo)
on salads

I want to hear from you! What are your favorite flavors and ways to eat hummus?

Fresh Garden Salsa!

One of my favorite things about summer is the bountiful produce! With that comes one of my favorite recipes that I HAVE to make several times each year: Fresh Garden Salsa!

There are several different varieties of this recipe that you can use. Add black beans and corn for more of a meal, leave out the peppers, add more peppers, add avocado(if you have leftovers, they will get brown and yuck) or any other combination that sounds good.

You can serve them with blue corn tortilla chips (my favorite), add quinoa to make a salad, quesadillas..the possibilities are endless. Get creative 🙂

Happy Munchin’ 🙂 *Please choose organic ingredients when possible.

Egg Roll In A Bowl

Egg roll in a bowl: a family favorite!

Asian food! Who doesn’t love it? I personally do, there are usually lots of yummy vegetables added and it just taste so good! My problem? Soy. Most dishes are made with with it and I generally avoid. Not to mention the egg rolls? Quite delicious, but deep fried in inflammatory oils. Yuck. This egg roll in a bowl recipe tastes so good and the kids love it!

I was talking to my mom the other day and she mentioned this recipe that their farm nutritionist had sent to them. It sounded so good and I was game to try it! Upon looking at the recipe, I noticed that it was a Trim Healthy Mama recipe and upon further investigation I seen that the recipe was available online in several different places. I decided to go ahead and post it because it is super delicious and I want to share it with all of you. I have made just a few minor modifications such as increasing the amounts but other than that it is the same recipe.

Did I mention that the first time I made it my husband said…”Yum, what is that flavor? It is good!” Score! I love it when I hear that, I know it is a dish I can make again.

Here it is folks! Look it over and than go make it 🙂

While buying organic produce is best, that isn’t always an option. I keep a bottle of this fruit & veggie wash underneath the kitchen sink to use on all my produce. This is a very easy to make recipe so ditch the veggie wash you see available to buy in the store.

Spring greens are in season now and with all the rain we have had lately, they are thick, luscious and plentiful!!
Greens are such an important part of our diet and most of us are not getting near enough. They are high-alkaline foods, rich in nutrients and fiber, they help create a strong immune system and protect us against life threatening diseases. When it comes to greens you can eat an unlimited amount! That’s how good they are for you!
