Basil pesto is one of those summer condiments that I crave all year. It’s perfect hot or cold and is a simple delicious way to add a ton of flavor with very little effort. This version of basil pesto is vegan and paleo as I swapped nutritional yeast for parmesan cheese.
Sweet Potato Chips
Sweet potatoes are my favorite source of complex carbohydrates. Sweet potato chips are a super yummy way to munch on these nutritional powerhouses which are packed with vitamin A, fiber, potassium, manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. In addition, sweet potatoes have an array of antioxidants that make them arguably the most anti-inflammatory source of complex carbohydrates we can consume.
Minimalist Wardrobe
I’m a toddler minimalist — I’m fairly new to this formalized concept of living simply and I’m still learning what aspects I value most. As I’ve undergone the process of discovering what is essential to me and my family and shedding that which isn’t, I’ve particularly relished minimizing our wardrobes. Yes wardrobes — plural — keeping both my and Ella’s wardrobe lean makes both of our lives easier.
Overnight Oats — 13 recipes
Although I’ve already posted two recipes for overnight oats (classic and cacao strawberry), I think in the case of this healthy staple, having more options is better. I also recently discovered that the overnight soak is not necessary. Turns out that a 3-4 hour soak at room temperature does the trick. With the increased versatility in preparation, I developed 13 new flavor combinations to make soaked oats an easy and never boring part of your breakfast routine.
Groceries
Recently, several readers have asked what my food purchases look like. What do I keep stocked in our pantry? What foods do I buy at the grocery store and farmers market?
Rhubarb Compote with Strawberries and Orange
Rhubarb is a source of serious nostalgia for me. My mom always had a huge patch of it in our garden when we were young and she made a killer rhubarb crisp. Although I love her rhubarb crisp, I wanted to do something with it that didn’t involve so much sugar and that was more versatile — enter rhubarb compote.
Fat
The trending macronutrient of the moment is undeniably fat. We are realizing that this once maligned substance is essential for health and plays a critical role in weight management.
Thai Carrot Salad
The Thai restaurant in Missoula serves a yummy carrot, cabbage, and peanut salad. To pair with the Tom Kha soup we love, I created a variation on that Thai carrot salad. Like all of my recipes, I tried to keep it as simple as possible, using readily available ingredients. This gem comes together in five minutes and can be made vegan.
Tom Kha Gai — Thai Chicken (or Tofu) Coconut Soup
One of my favorite soups is this Thai classic, Tom Kha. It has fantastic warmth from the ginger, richness from the coconut milk, and lightness from the lemongrass and lime. It really is outstanding. Sometimes I make this soup almost vegan, by using vegetable broth and tofu in place of the chicken — those adjustments are included in the recipe.
Roasted Beet and Cauliflower Hummus
Beets are amazing. Cauliflower is fantastic (and is a good substitute for less easily digested garbanzo beans). Why not put them together in a hummus-like spread? Since I couldn’t think of a good reason, I did just that and this gorgeous and tasty concoction was the result.
