Acai Bowls have been all the rage these days and for good reason. They are delicious and nutritious! Acai is a berry and it’s packed full of vitamins, plus it has the most antioxidants of any other fruit or vegetable, which helps fight against cancer among other diseases and illnesses. Along with being extremely healthy it tastes great too(a mix between a blackberry, raspberry, and dark chocolate).

I have always been a coffee lover. I didn’t necessarily drink it every morning, or have a ritual for drinking it to wake up, but I definitely enjoy every sip and jumped on any excuse to go out for coffee or consume one. There are/were a TON of things I didn’t like about drinking coffee though; the jitters, the intense buzz, the mood changes, not knowing the effects it has on my body, the potential to mess with my sleep, and its acidity.. Enter Green Tea Matcha powder.

Ok I know some of you reading this might be like “DUH! We already know this!” But for those of you that don’t, this is a lifesaver!! The amount of people that I have mentioned this to recently that haven’t thought to do this has compelled me to write a post on this to help make healthy eating easier for you too!

We haven’t always been a completely vegan cooking home. My husband transitioned around the same time I decided I was going to learn to cook in order to help him realize vegan cooking can be amazing because unlike myself he wasn’t satisfied with sweet potato wedges, a salad, and green smoothies. He is a little more “high maintenance” (even though he pretends he isn’t).

I have always been obsessed with all things noodle, And Thai food is no exception to that! I mean whats not to love? Noodles, rice, veggies, tofu, sometimes spicy. Its my fav! Always has been even before I went vegan. And after I did I was so happy to know that I could still enjoy going to thai food restaurants! A big thing for my husband when I first went vegan is that we couldn’t go out to eat anymore, and this made the transition a bit easier for him and me.

Finally I have been able to dedicate the time to figuring out really what I am doing on my blog! It only took two years! haha Eekk it feels good to have a little me time again!
So we have moved to France! …..I wasn’t so thrilled about this at the beginning. I was kinda over moving around all the time but now that we are here I am happy we did it.

Wow what a beautiful sunny day! I just couldn’t resist taking these pictures where it looks like these pumpkin walnut spelt muffins are just enjoying soaking in the rays! I feel like I know exactly how they feel haha
(Apparently that was the one he had to have)
For the past few months I have had an obsession with Oh She Glows, cookbook and blog. Trying all of her recipes and enjoying most. But recently I have to admit I have a new love. I discovered Isa Chandra Moskowitz and her website.
Have you tried her recipes before? O-M-G! Her pizza was the first I tried and I have made it so many times i’ve lost count. It’s a bit of a time consumer with having to prepare the dough, sauce, pesto, and tofu ricotta but it is worth it! Her pesto is a must try, and she has an oil free version which I am really trying to make more these days.
When browsing her website I came across her “The Best Pumpkin Muffins” recipe when I was looking for a recipe that uses molasses and I decided to give them a try since I have been having such great luck with her. I made a few modifications and they turned out delicious! I decided to use spelt flour (her recipe calls for all purpose) which makes these muffins wheat-free and making them easier on digestion.
Hope you enjoy!
These Gluten Free Overnight Oats have been a life saver in our family. Aside from the fact that EVERYTHING changes once you have a kid; one big thing I notice is that I have no time for meal prep. So meals that I can make ahead of time and have ready to go are a big bonus.
I have never been a big fan of coconut, I love the smell but not the taste. Recently I have been experimenting with coconut milk and I am actually really enjoying it. As a nursing mom of a 10 month old, adding more fat/calories is something that I am ok with, and that is exactly what using full fat coconut milk does. I used half of this can to make some coconut whip (which was DELICIOUS) and the water at the bottom for my smoothie the next day.
Wow these are delicious!! If you are/were a salt and vinegar chip addict (like me) this will definitely fill that craving and are healthier for you! Your house might smell like vinegar after but its worth it.
These are such a handy little snack to have laying around when you have hungry kids or just want something tasty to munch on. The recipe is from my new cookbook “The oh she glows Cookbook” by Angela Liddon. I cooked my chickpeas a little longer because I prefer more of a crunch but other than that I followed her recipe. Oh and I used a bigger can of chickpeas and they still didn’t last a day in my house!
