Salsa ~ Salsa ~ Salsa

We love salsa and eat it most days, so when we relocated to our new city and were unable to find a salsa that met our high standards, well…we got busy! Ta-da…here it is, we hope you love it! I’d love to be able to tell you how long it “keeps”…it’s never gone bad in […]

Nourishing Barley Bowl

This was a happy “first-time’s a charm” success story. It had been a looong time since we cooked up barley and as the fall season rolls in with cooler temperatures, this dish really hit the spot. High in fiber and anti-oxidants, the barley in this dish will leave you feeling nourished and content. And, kale […]

Easy Crunchy Curry Salad

This was an experiment gone right! It’s been so long since the first time we made this that I can’t remember exactly how it came about, but if I had to guess, it was a moment of tossing together whatever we had on hand because we were low on traditional salad dressing ingredients. Anyway, it […]

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

We made a batch of these last week and they lasted less than 24 hours. So, I made a double batch two days later since we had been gifted a GIGANTIC zucchini (image below) that our friends grew in their garden. The second batch did not last much longer. The moral…these muffins are irresistible! When […]

Val’s Vibrant Black Beans

Val is amazing! Smart, beautiful, athletic, and a genius in the kitchen. Thanks to her, this recipe is a regular on our menu. Stuff it in tacos and top with salsa and avocado, serve on top of your favorite lettuce or cabbage (we love red cabbage) for a salad, or serve as a “dip” to […]

Chocolate Moon Smoothie

We LOVE chocolate and this smoothie is a sneaky and delicious way to eat a healthy dose! Dark chocolate is a powerful source of antioxidants and some say it could even improve brain function! Yay, chocolate. The hemp seeds and nut butter are excellent protein sources while the bananas provide a nice boost of potassium, […]

Easy Vegan Challah

Shabbat Shalom! This is the easiest vegan challah recipe.  We adapted this from a favorite soft pretzel recipe we found.  Fresh-baked challah in less than 90 minutes and, most of this time is letting the dough rise and baking time. Amazing!
