So, I happened to post a pic of my dinner simmering away on the stove on social media the other night and have been receiving requests for the recipe ever since. Apparently, it looked really good ?It did turn out delicious, so, I’m happy to share the recipe with you, while it is still fresh in my mind! I adapted this from a slow cooker recipe I found online, but since I didn’t have time to slow cook as it was already 6pm, I made quite a few changes to the recipe. Plus, I think this way is probably…

This delicious take on a Middle Eastern tabbouleh salad is raw, vegan, grain-free, and full of nutrients! Bursting with fresh flavors, these super-food ingredients also support detoxification, an alkaline environment in the body, keep your blood sugar stable, decrease inflammation, and heal your gut! Traditional tabbouleh uses bulgur wheat, but I’m replacing that here with cauliflower. Because…more vegetables!

And did I mention, cauliflower prepared this way also happens to taste amazing? Years ago, amazing and cauliflower would not have made it into the same sentence, if I was writing it, but I’ve come to fall in love with cauliflower, it’s…

How much do I love the flavors of Southeast Asia? To put it eloquently…so much. Really a lot.

❤❤❤❤❤This much❤❤❤❤❤

Vietnamese, Thai, and Cambodian are my faves and they’re all slightly different in their flavor profile, but all equally delicious. I cook recipes inspired from this part of the world a lot, because they are full of fresh veggies and it’s really easy to throw together something clean, healthy and delicious. The inspiration for this recipe came from a traditional rice noodle salad, but I wanted to try a combo green and noodle salad so I swapped out the rice noodles for…

Convenience!  0% effort and dinner is served! Yes, I am also thankful for that convenience on busy nights, but there is no substitute for a fresh, organic chicken roasting away in your very own oven!…
