I’m someone who could easily be a vegetarian. Especially, when I eat Buddha Bowls. They’re just so dang good. I love all of the colors and different flavors. Definitely an enjoyable meal. These Crispy Chickpeas have such a good texture and the cumin and turmeric…
When I want to splurge with dessert, it’s with cheesecake. I love it so much! With these easy cheesecake bars, I can eat cheesecake guilt-free any time I want. Plus, it’s much quicker than making the real thing and you can’t tell the difference. And…
Are you surprised that here we are
with yet another Thai recipe? Of course
not! I’m a Thai food fanatic people.
This Thai salad is great when you
need something quick and easy, but want it to be flavorful and filling. I could eat peanut butter all day long, but
my husband cannot. Peanuts just don’t
agree with him, so I used almond butter and cashews in my recipe, but if you
can have peanuts, definitely go with them.
Sliced almonds would also be great over top.
Even though we don’t eat a lot of carbs
in my household, that doesn’t mean I don’t crave noodles or pasta at
times. Rather than just suffering with
that craving, there are so many great options out there now that allow you to
indulge and satisfy whatever you desire.
Being able to use Miracle Noodles or sweet potato noodles in place of
rice noodles makes this dish a healthy and guilt-free meal.
The other thing I love about this
dish is that it will keep in the fridge without wilting like typical lettuce
would as long as you keep the noodles and dressing separate. This makes it easy for nights I know I need
to meal prep for so I can just throw it all together in a few minutes and have
dinner on the table in no time.
I especially love this salad with grilled chicken or shrimp over top.

I absolutely LOVE the Vegan Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies, and now that the weather is warming up I wanted something I could enjoy as a tasty cool down treat. I needed to combine the power of ice cream with those darn perfectly chewy cookies. …
Lasagna is a staple comfort food for me, but is a very rare occurrence because it’s so heavy and just full of things that I can’t eat on a regular basis. I’m happy to tell you, that is not the case any longer! I have…
These cookies are ooey, gooey, chewy and delicious. No one will know they’re vegan and healthy. I used coconut sugar, which gives these cookies a darker color and richer flavor…yum. Although, any sweetener would work. Best of all, they stay soft. I’m personally not a fan of crunchy cookies, so these are perfect.
Even my little guy loves these. He will stop whatever he’s doing to get a bite. I can’t blame him. I sneak a couple as soon as they’re out of the oven. Who can resist a freshly baked warm cookie? Not this girl!
As a family who loves their sweet treats, these are up there on our list and on regular rotation. You’ll be lucky if there’s any left over for the next day. If there are, I pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them back up, then pop them in my mouth. If I’m trying to be sneaky about it, then I just eat the dang cookie – still so good!
To store make sure to put parchment paper between them so they don’t stick to one another.
Healthy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Servings: 12-16 small cookies and 8-10 large cookies
5 tablespoons milk of choice (may need to add 1-2 tablespoons more)
1 cup chocolate chips (I love Enjoy Life’s mega chunks)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375⁰F
In a large bowl mix flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar until well combined.
Add in vanilla, oil, and milk and mix well.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread dough on baking sheet to form cookies (these will not spread out like normal cookies). I make large cookies (about 3.5 – 4 in. in diameter) and would recommend no more than 6 cookies on the baking sheet per batch.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Let cool for 5-7 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
