Sugar Free Muffins
I am taking a break from sugar right now and I have to tell you, it’s hard. Everything has sugar in it! Or if you go to the grocery store and read the labels, it seems like nearly everything does, even food that you wouldn’t have guessed.
English muffins? Sugar. Those delicious “natural” raspberry preserves? So much sugar! Multigrain bread? Sugar. Spaghetti Sauce? Sugar (make your own!). Granola and Crackers? Sugar. It’s in everything!

What I love about roasted vegetables is that it’s plug and play. I am using mushrooms, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and green beans in this recipe because they’re my favorite and they’re in season veggies from the garden but you do you. Want to add onions, broccoli or squash? Go for it. Ready to get your hoagie on?

Diet Coke Brownies
I made these brownies over the weekend and they were a giant hit. We’re talking fighting over crumbs. We’re talking pushing and shoving in the kitchen (but softly). We’re talking every woman and man for themselves. Can you believe that such brownie grabbing would be caused by 3 simple ingredients?

So I grabbed my apron and 1 bowl (yeah, it’s a 1 bowl recipe!) and set out to make some vegan peanut butter cookies! Verdict? YUM YUM YUM!
How to Grow Indoor Plants
Need some inspiration on how to grow indoor plants? Check out Summer Rayne Oakes’s NYC apartment – it’s a real jungle!
You guys know I’m big on growing A LOT in a small space. After all, look at our 4×4 garden we planted last year – you can grow hundreds of pounds of vegetables in a small space!
What else can you do? In a small space you can grow indoor plants!
I came across this video of Summer’s apartment which can be described as a real life jungle. She lives in her Brooklyn apartment with over 700 plants, caring for them for about 30 minutes a day. Summer says she spends about $100 a month on plants.

It’s also incredibly easy and quick to make. At the end we throw in some instant potatoes to thicken up the soup to make it a bit extra creamy.

Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes
It’s been 11 days without cheese or milk.
11 days.
11 days.
Let’s rewind a bit before I demand (nicely) that you offer some support (I need it).
I’ve decided to try to go dairy free to help with some health issues, none that I will go into detail about until I know if it actually works for me or not.
Going dairy free is something that has been brought up to me multiple times in passing and readings and finally I woke up and decided “let’s do this”.
Cheese is something I love dearly (let’s be real) so all of a sudden saying goodbye to cheesy casseroles, mac and cheese, pizza and simple cheese slices hasn’t been easy, but at the same time it hasn’t been impossible.
Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna
VEGETARIAN MEXICAN LASAGNA Bake is filled with vegetables, noodles, ricotta and mozzarella cheese! Taco seasoning gives it a delicious Mexican flavor! This healthy meal recipe is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time for a quick weeknight meal, all you have to do is bake it!
Mexican Lasagna
Mexican food isn’t just about slow cooker tacos or taco casserole – it’s also about lasagna!
We are loving this dish right now in our house because it’s easy to make and filled with garden fresh veggies and comforting cheese. Many times I’ll prepare this lasagna earlier in the day so all I have to do is turn on the oven and throw it in when it’s dinner time. Whenever I make this I text Matthew a photo of the lasagna and he’ll text back hearts and swoony faces.
Back-to- school season is one of the busiest times of the year, and families are on the lookout for easy meals that deliver big on flavor. This is a lasagna that the family will fall in love with.
This lasagna is filled with veggies that go perfect with the “Mexican” flavor. Most vegetarian lasagna recipes use eggplant and zucchini but I don’t. Why? That’s easy. We don’t grow those vegetables, hah. Case closed.
Vegetarian Taco Casserole
Easy to make Vegetarian Taco Casserole recipe. Instead of meat, we use lots of vegetables and beans. This Mexican Casserole takes 30 minutes to bake.
Vegetarian Taco Casserole
This Meatless Cheesy Taco Casserole is one of our favorite dinner recipes. It’s one of those dishes that you don’t get sick of having multiple times a week (we love it that much). Since trying to make more vegetarian meals for my family, I’ve had to figure out how to change my original taco casserole recipe and that’s what I did for this dish. Instead of ground beef, I’m adding in black beans and frozen corn.
Mexican Vegetarian Recipe
Mix that with some elbow macaroni, fresh tomatoes, green peppers, tomato soup, taco seasoning mix and taco cheese and you have the perfect weeknight meal! I don’t want to call this recipe healthy, because it does have the word “cheesy” in the title, but the recipe only calls for 3/4 cups of cheese and if you want you can even add less. You could even skip the cheese if you want to!

Childrens Tea Sets
My daughter was 18 months old when she started to ask me to fill up her tea cups with water, her with a smile and happily slurping it down (and then immediately asking for a refill). She saw Mom drinking tea every morning and afternoon, so when she wanted to be part of my daily rituals, I welcomed it. I’m pretty excited that in a few years I’ll finally have a tea house partner!
Check out my guide on how to throw a tea party!
For now though, tea parties exist in our house, usually on a cozy blanket or her play table. When I was searching for her first tea set, I wanted to get her something special that would last over time. In my heart, I hope that in 20 years, she finds her tea set hidden in storage and I get to tell her stories of how we used to have tea parties, together, with her stuffed animals, and they would just make my day!

I love Indian food. The problem is that I don’t have any experience with Indian cooking, or traditional Indian spices so I was always scared to try cooking it in my own kitchen. Instead I forked over the money for Indian take-out, wishing I could make my own!
Finally, I decided I was going to learn how to make Indian Basmati Rice! And I’m so glad I did!

Slow Cooker Potato Soup
The end of November brought cold weather and rainy days. Because of the added layers to stay warm and the drizzle of rain it also brought a laziness to the dinner table. I’ve been stuck in a dinner rut the last few weeks making easy and quick meals. It usually gets to dinner time and we’re both too tired to really think of anything new so it’s something simple.
Asian Marinated Cucumbers
Easy to make Asian marinated cucumbers! This healthy recipe is cooked in 10 minutes. My family loves it served over rice or with chicken.
Asian Marinated Cucumbers
If I showed you my refrigerator right now you’d gasp at the amount of mason jars full of pickles. There is alot, it’s kinda frightening at the amount of pickles that are in there. You would think I’m hoarding pickles for the apocalypse. Because I can’t fit any more pickles in my refrigerator and I have run out of mason jars I got to thinking what else I could do with our garden cucumbers.
The only real thing I do with cucumbers is make pickles, but they are a vegetable that I compare to broccoli or peas, so why not marinate them just like I do with those? Asian Marinated Cucumbers is where the party is!
Tri Color Pasta Salad
Easy recipe for the best tri color pasta salad! This is the perfect Summer time salad that uses Italian dressing, fresh vegetables and rotini pasta!
Tri Color Pasta Salad
The great thing about pasta salad is once you have the basics of pasta, salad dressing, herbs – the vegetables are really up to you. There needs some type of tomatoes (I prefer halved grape tomatoes). There needs to be celery chopped up. What else? Well that’s up to you. You can add carrots. You can add onions. You can add broccoli. You can add chopped up cauliflower. You can can add black olives (yum!).

Baby Food Recipes
Ok, I can’t help it, I’m obsessed with making baby food. Did you think that this vegetable garden loving Mama wouldn’t be making baby food? I love to puree fruits and vegetables in the kitchen and watch Enceladus react to first tastes!
If you love cooking, then you understand the amazing feeling one gets when you serve friends or family a home cooked meal. When placing the food on the table in front of your family, you are essentially saying “I love you!”. So imagine my excitement when I’m cooking for my baby!
Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Granola
Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Granola is a healthy easy breakfast idea for toddlers that the entire family will love. This recipe is made by Mom, tasted and approved by my toddler! Similar to overnight oats, but made with granola instead! This post is sponsored by Back to Nature.
Breakfast Ideas for Toddlers
Is there ever enough time in the morning? I say no. Throw in a toddler who won’t put on her coat, and requires a drop off at daycare, then it feels like every morning is a rush to get out the door and get to work.
What would make the mornings easier? If my toddler would just let me put on her coat! Seriously. Please just stop laying on the ground with your arms glued to your side. Please for your Mother’s sanity!
What else?
An easy and delicious breakfast for the entire family to enjoy! Let me introduce you to our current favorite breakfast: Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Granola!
Friday Catch Up: A Trip to Los Angeles
Hey guys,
I hope everyone is doing great! It’s been ages since I did a weekly catch up post, but I thought I’d try to start doing this again. This gives a glimpse on what’s happening during my week, but let’s be honest, it’ll mostly be food, and pictures of Enceladus (or pictures of Encealdus’s food!).
Last week we headed to Los Angeles for Reed + Rader work, and while we were there we had a few days to explore with Enceladus. We went to playgrounds, ate lots of tacos, went on a date without baby (it involved tacos too), had a video shoot and much more.
The flight to Los Angeles was kinda terrible. Flying with a toddler is hit or miss, and she was pretty finished with the flight while we flew over the Midwest. She was happy when we finally landed and got to stretch her legs. I was also happy to get off the plane so we could get her in a better mood.
