This quinoa salad reminded me of summer. We had it this weekend while enjoying the sunshine.

I was originally going to use black beans, but realized I didn’t have any when I went to make the salad. Chickpeas came to the rescue! As a vegetarian I always have cans of beans ready to go…chickpeas are one of my favorite legume. They’re rich in protein and fiber which will help keep you full. They serve as one of the main sources of protein in this bowl. Not to mention they have give this salad a delicious buttery and nutty flavor!

I paired this butternut squash soup with roasted broccoli, and toasted pumpkin seeds.

The main flavor of this soup came through from the fresh rosemary.

Rosemary is great for cleansing purposes, peace of mind, and spiritual purification. In ancient times the herb was used for medicinal properties such as alleviating muscle pain, improving memory, and boosting the immune system.

Rosemary is also a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Not to mention the flavor is incredible!

Overnight oats with almond milk, and chia seeds make the perfect base to start your morning off right.

Especially during quarantine, nourishing grain bowls have been my jam! I used just about every kind of produce I had in my fridge to make this beautiful grain bowl.

Made with raw walnuts and cashews. I try to get omega 3’s in my body first thing in the morning. Walnuts are the perfect food to incorporate into your diet for your omega 3’s, especially if you don’t eat fish!

This is a protein packed dinner that is made with whole grain spaghetti, chickpeas, and fresh herbs flavored with garlic and oil.

The creaminess and richness of classic mac and cheese without all the dairy and cream! This recipe was easy and delicious.
