They say that to find true happiness in life, we must identify the things, people, and environments that make us feel the most joy. Then we simply make a daily effort to surround ourselves with whatever that is. Well, if you’re anything like me, cookie dough brings you one of the purest forms of happiness…

Potato Leek Soup
This classic French dish is so creamy and comforting, it’s one of my all time favorite soups. I love to make a big batch and freeze leftovers so there’s always a serving or two ready to heat up when I need a hearty, healthy, and fast lunch. Personally, I am drawn to the simplicity of…

Gluten Free Eggless Cookie Dough for One
“Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion.” I have no idea who said this, but I’ve seen it floating around on my Pinterest feed a lot lately. It always makes me smile, but as wonderful as the sentiment is, it’s really only applicable for certain situations in life….
Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins
You may have noticed that these muffins are smaller than what you’re probably used to. That is for two reasons: Everyone knows that the top of the muffin is the best part! With the cinnamon-sugar coating all around, every bite of these little muffins will have that delicious top-of-the-muffin taste. I have no self control…
Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein
I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe! I thought for sure it would be one of those healthy substitute recipes that tastes like a bad knock-off of the original dish, but much to my excitement this one was actually a pretty great alternative to the carb-filled chow mein we’re all used to. And let’s be…
Green Goddess Dressing/Dip
Lately I’ve realized that approximately 70% of my adult life seems to be spent at the grocery store. It’s crazy how quickly I run out of things, and how often I’m saying “But we just went to the store two days ago! How do we already need to go again?!” One of the most annoying…
4-Ingredient Brownies
I’m so excited to share this recipe! It might sound weird at first, but I promise it’s one of the greatest healthy substitutions that I’ve ever found. When a friend shared their version of this recipe with me, I was skeptical. How can pumpkin taste good in a brownie? I know it’s not a popular…
Tuscan Roasted Potatoes
I love these potatoes because they’re so versatile in how you can use them. They make an excellent side dish, a flavorful salad topping, and a filling snack. Whenever I’m going to a dinner party or potluck type of event, I get several requests to bring this dish, and so far I’ve never brought home…
Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette
It can be difficult to find truly healthy salad dressings that don’t contain any gluten, dairy, sugar, or preservatives. And some of the specialty ones that are free of these ingredients can get pretty expensive. I love this recipe because it’s super easy, inexpensive, and it makes enough for probably about a dozen salads, depending…
Mexican-Style Cauliflower “Rice”
I recently came across the cookbook One Part Plant, which is all about slowly adding more plants into your diet and cutting down processed foods and animal products. It introduces a plan for making one meal per day 100% plant-based. In other words, a guide to being pretty much 1/3 vegan. I know that both…
