Do you remember the Portobello Mushroom Burgers? Well, I have continued to create low-carb and more plant-based recipes for my followers. These pizzas are the perfect easy weeknight dinners that are sure to please everyone. They also are a great way to enjoy the BBQ season while keeping things light and nutritious.
Often when we think of holistic nutrition, a grilled cheese sandwich is not something that comes to mind. When I work closely with my nutrition clients I often hear their fears about making the change to eating healthy, like having to give up foods they love like grilled cheese sandwiches because of its “bad food”. Labeling foods “good” vs. “bad”, “clean” vs. “dirty”, can have a damaging impact on our relationship with food, cause feelings of guilt, and can even lead to disordered eating.
My birthday always falls on or around Easter weekend, and in my family, I am responsible for the holiday meals. Throughout my posts, I have talked about the importance of simplifying and finding balance. That it is easy to get carried away on menus you designed from your Pinterest board that leave you spending hours upon hours in the kitchen, I have been there many times.
I remember buying my first vegan cookbook, in 2014 by Angela Liddon. I had been dabbling in vegan cooking for about a year before, but this was my first official cookbook (so much more have come since then). I recall flipping through the pages and feeling pretty comfortable with the DIY nut milk, homemade granola recipes, and green smoothies. Suddenly, I came across portobello mushrooms being used as meat substitutes in fajitas and burgers, which was a completely new concept to me at the time.
Sometimes the simplest ingredients can bring us the most comfort. When we want fries, this is my go-to recipe. It is quick, easy, and uses basic ingredients that enhance the nutrition of this perfect vegetable side dish. Blue or purple potatoes add color, phytonutrients, and interest to any plate.
