Purple Sweet Potato and Kale Mini Crustless Quiches

Posted on November 18, 2023 | Leave a comment

Friends, it has been a busy fall as usual (busy but good), and I have not been posting as often as I like to. Today I have a great fall recipe for you to try, purple sweet potato and kale mini crustless quiches, and there will be many more recipes coming once winter break has started!

So, more about quiches!

Quiches are supposed to be more custard-like than a fritatta or egg bake because they have more dairy in them. I love adding cottage cheese for a portion of my dairy because it adds a boost of protein. The little chunks also create air pockets when baking, so this recipe will yield a light and fluffy quiche.

Lemon Parmesan Kale Salad

Posted on September 16, 2023 | Leave a comment

I have a secret to tell you. I love making bread, and I have been making a lot of sourdough lately. So much that I have to find inventive ways to use it to keep my supply fresh, like topping this lemon parmesan kale salad with toasted sourdough breadcrumbs.

Lemon parmesan is a classic pairing of flavors that cannot be beat. Fresh lemon is bright and refreshing while parmesan is full of rich umami. Adding toasted breadcrumbs takes this simple salad to the next level. Continue reading →

Healthy Vegan Chickpea Wraps

Posted on September 9, 2023 | Leave a comment

Fall is always very busy for me because it’s the beginning of a new school year. I rely on easy recipes like these healthy vegan chickpea wraps to help me eat well when I don’t have much time to cook.

For these wraps, I prefer to make a chunky paste out of my chickpeas because whole chickpeas will roll right out of a wrap and are more likely to make a messy eating experience. Continue reading →

Easy Southwest Chopped Salad

Posted on June 24, 2023 | Leave a comment

I started making this easy southwest chopped salad for lunches last summer and it is still a favorite. Although this salad requires a little chopping, I still consider it easy because I almost always have all the ingredients on hand.

Having a well stocked pantry makes it easy to whip up a good lunch without much pre-thought. I use canned black beans, frozen corn, jarred jalapenos, bagged tortilla chips, hot sauce and bottled ranch. I always have cabbage and onions in the fridge. Therefore the greens are ususally the only thing I need to put on the grocery list! Continue reading →

Apple Cheddar Kale Salad

Posted on June 3, 2023 | Leave a comment

It is finally here. It’s salad season! I love this time of year because my garden is bursting with fresh lettuce, kale, and arugula. I will eat salad after salad until I grow tired, but that is far from the goal. The goal is finding ways to keep salad interesting, so I share with you this apple cheddar kale salad.

Apple and cheddar are a classic combination of sweet and salty. Pair that with an apple cider vinaigrette to keep things savory and some sunflower seeds for crunch, and you have a winner salad. Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Kale Quinoa Bowl

Posted on October 1, 2022 | Leave a comment

Bowl meals come by many names, Buddah bowls, power bowls, nourish bowls, grain bowls, etc., and are just about the easiest thing to make. You just toss everything into a bowl! The ratio of ingredients is what I like best about bowl meals, including this sweet potato kale quinoa bowl.

This bowl is not a kale salad, and it is not a quinoa salad either. It is truely a bowl meal that is balanced with grains and proteins, fresh vegetables and cooked vegetables, as well as crunchy and soft textures. Continue reading →

Kale Hemp Seed Pesto

Posted on September 3, 2022 | Leave a comment

Have you ever tried to turn kale into a pesto? It is a delicous way to enjoy kale, and I didn’t always like it. The secret? Hemp seeds. They are not only healthy, but delicious in this kale hemp seed pesto.

Why hemp seeds? Yes, they are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids which come along with many health benefits, but the true reason I use them is for their creamy flavor profile. Continue reading →

Garlicky Kale Caesar Pasta Salad

Posted on July 2, 2022 | Leave a comment

The first time I came across this idea to turn Caesar salad into a pasta salad, it was in a cooking magazine. After a quick google search, it appears that I am behind in the game because kale caesar pasta salad is definitely a thing already.

I tried to make mine a little bit different by adding more garlic, and skipping the croutons, using only pasta in my pasta salad. Also, I added red cabbage for a splash of color. Continue reading →

Lentil Kale Fritters

Posted on October 16, 2021 | Leave a comment

I came up with the idea for these lentil kale fritters when I was trying to find a new way to use up my copious garden kale. Two packed cups of chopped kale is a lot of kale, but it cooks down so that it folds in with the lentils in a perfect 1:1 ratio.

These fritters don’t feel like you are eating tons of greens either thanks to the texture of the lentils. The flavor it also bright and not too earthy thanks to the tomato paste, Dijon, parmesan and basil. Continue reading →
