I love avocados, and ESPECIALLY in smoothies. This particular smoothie is rich with antioxidants, fiber, vitamin A, folate, and Omega 3 fatty acids. You can add a bit of sweetener if you’d like, but I enjoy mine as is. My three year old loves this “monster green smoothie”, but doesn’t like the texture of the Chia seeds. If I’m making one smoothie for him, I’ll just add the chia at

These dairy free breakfast burritos are so flavorful and filling, you’ll never miss the cheese! You can serve them hot right from the stove, or roll them up and freeze for a quick weekday breakfast. If burritos are too hard to hold for little hands in your family, you can also make these into quesadillas for the kids. You may need to adjust the cooking time on quesadillas, so just keep an eye on them. For a glu

I am in love with these muffins. They’re sweet, they’re tasty, AND their miniature. I love making mini muffins because they’re the perfect size for my snacking toddler, and they let me fulfill a craving without completely blowing the day’s caloric intake. If you’re not eating them right out of the oven (which you will, trust me), pop it in the microwave for about 7 seconds to warm them u

Sweet meets tart in this recipe for my Vegan Apple Crumble with Pear and Cranberry. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also versatile. Don’t like cranberries? Substitute raisins or cherries. Don’t have vegan butter? Try using coconut oil. Old fashioned oats a bit crunchy for your liking? Try quick cooking oats. Mix in a cup of chopped nuts for added crunch and protein if you’d like. It’s

Who doesn’t love a good banana bread?! I had some very ripe bananas that needed using, but I wanted something different than your average banana loaf this time.

If you wanted to kick this up even ANOTHER notch, you could top it off with a dairy free sugar gl

We’re huge fans of cod in our house, particularly cod loin. If you haven’t tried cod loin yet, give it a try the first chance you get. The fish has a meaty, buttery texture that even my carnivorous husband considers delicious and fulfilling.Cod fillets will also work in this recipe, but you’ll need to reduce your cooking time and really watch it to avoid overcooking. This recipe pairs fantastically

I’m obsessed with kale and smoothies these days. I just can’t seem to get enough, which isn’t such a bad thing considering the health benefits!

It’s not much different than my original ka

Frosty, sweet, and yummy! 2 cups rinsed, chopped kale, tough stalks removed 1 f
