Hi everyone, Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing weekend and a great start to your week. This week Chris and I are sharing a our Corn Flake Crusted Scalloped Potatoes that are both gluten + oil-free, and just how we remembered them growing up.
Scalloped potatoes are nostalgic for me. Growing up I used to get 'hot lunch' in middle school, anyone else know what I'm talking about? The side in the meal was often scalloped potatoes, and it was my absolute FAVORITE. The funny part is, I actually never knew what it was called and was never able to correctly explain it to my mom so she could make it at home, but it was still one of my favorite foods.
10 Apr Roasted Kale Salad w/ Easy Hummus Dressing {oil-free}
I know that it may be difficult for some to eat raw kale in a salad as it naturally has a slightly bitter flavor, but a great way to serve it if that is the case is to roast it first! Not only does it add a new layer of texture to this salad, it brings out a whole new flavor in the kale.
I made this recipe in collaboration with PlantPure Communities, a nonprofit organization that was formed partly as an outgrowth of the 2015 hit movie PlantPure Nation directed by Nelson Campbell. In order to celebrate Earth Day, they have created a 30 day challenge to eat leafy greens every day of the month of April called #30daysofgreen. 
Part of their work is to raise awareness about nutrition research, much of which was led by Nelson’s father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell in the book The China Study, and they strive to promote the benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle in a way that is accessible to a diverse audience. Their social media challenge will provide everything from recipes and nutritional information to cooking tips and health advice–all relating back to the importance of daily greens!
23 Jan Vegan Eggplant Meatballs {oil-free}
A hearty and savory flavor-explosion, and definitely THE must make recipe when you need to impress a crowd. Not only are these eggplant meatballs oil-free and low in fat, they are also packed with plant-protein from the chickpeas and tempeh! These are perfect for kids, adults, friends, family...anyone you want to share these precious little bites with ;)
You can serve these eggplant meatballs atop spaghetti and marinara (my personal fav), place them into a toasted sub with some vegan cheese and marinara as Chris did here on his Instagram, as appetizers with a toothpick and a drizzle of marinara, in minestrone soup, in a salad...the list just goes on and on!
17 Jul Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies {gluten, oil & refined sugar-free}
A long overdue recipe that I have been promising you ya'll on Instagram and YouTube for too long, it is finally here! I am all about making healthier versions of childhood favorites of mine, and chocolate chip cookies of course have to be on that list.
09 Apr Simple Vegan Buddha Bowls w/ Sundried Tomato Tahini Dressing & Savory Granola {oil-free}
Bowls, bowls, bowls, what a beautiful thing.
I truly believe my food taste better when it is presented in an aesthetically pleasing way. Bowls are a normal part of my weekly (even daily) routine, whether it be a sweet or savory combination, simply because they are SO EASY to put together. Honestly, you can even just take all of those leftovers in the fridge, or whatever you have on hand and want to dive into in your kitchen.
Voila, a munch worthy, and most importantly, insta-worthy ;) meal. Ya'll love when I post bowls on my feed, so it was only fitting to finally share a full on recipe for a nutrient dense bowl on my blog.
