Wild Blueberry Oatmeal

Believe it or not, sometimes I get tired of having a smoothie every. single. morning. When I do, or when its too cold, I make myself a warm bowl of this oatmeal. Its comforting, healing, and satisfying. Oats are naturally gluten free and cook quickly, or you can even eat raw. I use them to make oat flour, pie crusts, and my chocolate date balls from my cookbook! Oats are high in fiber, which is why they leave you feeling satisfied and help with productive bowel movements.

Potato & Kale Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast tacos are a cultural foundation in my home of Central and South Texas. We have competitions and festivals that honor the breakfast taco. If you're lucky, your boss will bring bags of them to the office for breakfast on Fridays. Discussions of where to get the best breakfast tacos in town sprinkle into to casual small talk, next to talk about the weather. Breakfast tacos have been known to cure any hangover or heartbreak. Its every bit as big of a deal down here as b

Mango Pina Colada Smoothie

This smoothie tastes like a vacation (minus the hangover). After over a year in quarantine(ish), I'm so ready for a vacation. Sadly, this is not on the horizon for us anytime soon regardless of the pandemic. BUT this smoothie takes me there. It puts me on that beach, with a good book and the warm sun. With someone bringing me this smoothie and me not having to do any dishes. Or laundry. Lets see, I've already told you about the magnificence of mangoes and the perfection of th

Charred Asparagus & Leek Tart

Fancy, right?! This is a FANTASTIC dish to serve your Easter Brunch/Lunch guests. Its easy, you can make it ahead of time, and JUST LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS. Its a STUNNER. But first, let's talk about Asparagus. Asparagus contains phytochemical compounds such as chlorophyll and lutein that act as organ cleansers. They get deep into organs such as the liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys, scrubbing out the toxins that can build up over time. Some of the phytochemicals in asp

Overnight Oats - 7 Ways!

I realized while menu planning that I am an extreme creature of habit. I have had the same smoothie almost every morning for the past 5 years. I love to create and test recipes. And while I love breakfast, I prefer not to give it much thought. I've got three school-aged kids, and a hungry husband. Breakfast has to be easy, fast, and effortless in my house. Going with that theme, I thought overnight oats would be the perfect cure for the smoothie blues. You'll notice a pattern

Lime Chia Pudding

If you're in the mood for a refreshing treat, or looking to entertain a crowd - look no further. This is a great make-ahead recipe that looks and tastes impressive. Limes (and lemons) are ultra-hydrating and electrolyte-producing, because they are a great source of mineral salts and trace mineral salts. Limes and lemons have some of the most bioavailable (highly-absorbable) vitamin C around. Despite their acidity, the vitamin C, phytochemicals, and calcium in the lime/lemon j

3 Ingredient Smoothie Bowl

Do you have trouble falling asleep? Look no further than the mango for your miracle sleep aid. When you eat a mango before bed, phytochemicals from the fruit, along with amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, and cysteine combined with fructose and glucose, travel to the brain and quickly restore depleted neurotransmitters (Medical Medium). This allows you to get some healing, restful sleep. Mangoes are also rich in beta-carotene which helps support the skin, and help preve

Berries & Cream

This easy recipe makes a fantastic afternoon snack, dessert, or even breakfast for the whole family. That's right, even my kids ate this one! Which is good, because berries pack a serious antioxidant punch. Every day, we oxidize a little bit more as a result of the aging process. Antioxidants fight free radicals, which speed up oxidization in the body. We come into contact with free radicals on a daily basis: air pollution, chemicals in drinking water, preservatives, food dye

Cilantro Jalapeno Dip

I could write an entire cookbook on sauces and dips. The Melting Pot is one of my favorites because you get, like, 15 sauces with every course. I'm a sauce gal. I'm also a cilantro gal. Cilantro is controversial. You either love it or hate it. Delicious herb, or soapy nightmare. But despite how you feel, cilantro is indisputably a super food. Here's why: Cilantro is a great chelator (KEE-LAY-TOR). Chelation means "to grab" or "to bind", which is what cilantro does when it me

This is one of my favorite lunches. It reminds me of sushi without the price tag. Sea vegetables are some of the most amazing foods on the planet. Not only do sea vegetables purify and balance the ocean ecosystem, they are also one of the most nutrient dense AND bioavailable foods you can put in your pie-hole. Bioavailable means that seaweed is naturally easy for our bodies to digest, assimilate, and absorb the kick-ass nutrients that seaweed provides. Did I mention that se

This meal is a staple on our menu. My husband loves it! I love it because it makes a lot of food and is easy to clean up. Its also packed FULL of important nutrients. Did you know that red bell peppers contain the most amount of vitamin C in all the plant kingdom? See ya later, orange! (Just kidding, we still love you). Red bell peppers are also a great source of Vitamin A, B6, and folate. They are a good source of beta-carotene, vitamin E, and fiber. Black beans are showing

Raspberry Chia Pudding (3 ingredients!)

What the heck are chia seeds? Good question. I had to Google it before I started writing because I wasn't sure how to explain them, and I learned some cool facts! Ready? According to Wikipedia, chia seeds are the edible seeds of Salvia hispanica, a flowering plant in the mint family indigenous to central and southern Mexico (or of the related Salvia columbariae of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Chia seeds were a staple food for the ancient Aztecs and Mayans. C

Sweet Potato Hash

If you ever needed a bad-day meal, this is the one. Unlike greasy, fried comfort food, the sweet potato provides ALL the emotional support without all the bloat, depression, lethargy, and brain fog. Sweet potatoes provide an important form of glucose that aids in the development of dopamine, GABA, and serotonin, so it truly is "happy food". The production of these chemicals can also help you get a good night sleep. In fact, if you wake up in the middle of the night, have a c

This recipe was born from cleaning out my fridge. I had several veggies that were about to go bad, and I had a package of noodles in my pantry. Over the years I've refined the recipe a bit, but don't feel like you have to use the exact vegetables listed below. I've used green beans, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, frozen peas, and cabbage-really anything I had in my fridge that needed to be eaten. This recipe is designed to be fle

Cauliflower Aguachile

The aguachile I had in Mexico recently was a tomato-based version that wasn't very spicy and had octopus instead of shrimp, which is the more traditional option. I knew I had to make a plant-based update as soon as I got back. One of my favorite dishes is a cauliflower ceviche from Forks Over Knives called Landlocked Ceviche and I used it as my inspiration to create this aguachile. Aguachile (literally translated means 'fire water') is traditionally a very spicy ceviche typi

I have a mint plant that, despite my neglect, is growing exponentially in my yard and I needed a good recipe in which to use it. It FINALLY hit me! I'd never had a grasshopper anything until I made this recipe. I went into it blind and I'm glad I did. I don't think I could ever have another version than this one right here. I got some help on the filling from Emily at Pretty Pies. You should definitely check out her stuff! Mint is incredibly calming and provides many digesti

Ever since I discovered frozen green chiles at Trader Joes, I've been a bit obsessed. I never used to think much of them until I met a friend from New Mexico who SWORE by them. I'd never had one that was spicy enough for my taste and all but wrote them off after that. I was SO WRONG. The green chiles I've gotten from TJ's have been every bit as spicy as a jalapeno and I LOVE their flavor. I also LOVE a little fruit in my salsa. Sweet and spicy is such a legendary combinatio

Classic Potato Salad

I have never met a potato salad that I didn't like. And I LOVE that every family has their own recipe. I find that so exciting; every barbecue is a new adventure! My mother-in-law is from Spain and her potato salad is more mayonnaise-based with canned tuna (the good kind, packed in olive oil) and green olives. Its totally different from what I'm used to but so, so delicious. My mom's recipe is simple, but also delicious. She takes a mustard approach, with eggs, celery, onion

This is a cool twist on a classic Turmeric Latte (sometimes known as Golden Milk). I was looking for a way to enjoy this winter favorite during the hot summer months and I think I found it. Like ginger, turmeric is fantastic for just about every facet of our well-being. Turmeric root is part of the ginger family and originates from Southeast Asia, and is mostly associated with Indian food. Turmeric has been used in Asia for thousands of years for its medicinal properties, a

Healthful Horchata

This recipe was inspired by our recent trip to Mexico, but I wanted to give it an update. I tried to stick to the traditional recipe as much as possible, but subbed brown for white rice, and maple syrup for white sugar. Most horchata you get comes from a pre-packaged mix (like Kool-Aid), which includes a fair share of preservatives, additives, and chemicals. YUM! But making it from scratch takes very little effort. In fact, most of the magic happens while it sits in the fridg
