Sometimes you really just want something nourishing to eat for dinner. Not just nourishing for the body, but for the soul. That's how I felt last weekend when I went to meal prep for the week. I needed something delicious, filling, and healthy. Something like what I had gotten at the opening of Flower Child… Continue reading Mother Earth Bowl

Extra Mushroom Alfredo
Well howdy, y'all. I've officially traded in an apartment in the city for a homestead in the country on 1.5 acres of land. Nearly a month ago, Rob and I bought our first home outside of Guthrie, Oklahoma. It's everything I could've dreamed. We've got land, gardens, peace, and quiet...not to mention an apple tree… Continue reading Extra Mushroom Alfredo
Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump. It's been one week of going back to an ultra-low-carb diet and my body is finally starting to accept it. I was a rage queen there for a few days, and… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
We're starting to get into the season where salads just don't hold up very well. The colder it gets, the heartier a meal people want. I'm down for a big bowl of soup when it's 50 degrees outside, but a big bowl of salad? That's not really my jam. This salad is a little bit… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower Salad
Teriyaki Green Beans
Do you know what all goes into teriyaki sauce? If you buy it at the store there's all sorts of sugar and preservatives inside the bottle. I'm not one of those people who religiously check ingredients labels for corporation-made ingredients, but sometimes I do stop and take a peek. And let me tell ya, teriyaki… Continue reading Teriyaki Green Beans
Italian Marinated Mushrooms
The Oklahoma State Fair is here and that means rides, gluttonous food, and exhibits for two straight weeks in central OKC. Rob and I braved the crowds and went to the fair on Saturday. It was everything you could imagine: sparkly lights, loud noises, sweat-dripping-down-your-back fun. We stayed out there for several hours soaking in… Continue reading Italian Marinated Mushrooms
Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
I have a dream where one day everyone will get on board with cauliflower. Cauliflower gets a bad rap; even more so now that it's the "trendy" food to eat. People knock on the broccoli impostor constantly on my social media feeds.But have you ever tried cauliflower? Like, really tried it? It just needs to… Continue reading Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
Three Cheese Pesto Pizza
Grocery stores have really started to branch out when it comes to their merchandise. When I was a kid you could only find the American staples: canned goods, produce, meat, dairy---nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing exotic to me back then were the fresh fruit roll-ups in the produce section. Now, you have… Continue reading Three Cheese Pesto Pizza
Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms
Springtime is officially here and I am living for it. This is my most favorite time of year, food-wise. There's all of these fresh herbs and veggies popping up right now, and the farmer's market is at its peak. Spring veggies, since they're now in season, are also drastically reduced price-wise. I've been buying up… Continue reading Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms
