There are a few things that make this recipe great.  They are vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.  The contain ZERO refined sugar, and there is no baking required!  Only 5 simple ingredients!

I have such a sweet tooth, so I am always thinking of new ways to enjoy sweets in a better way.  Since these contain a good amount of fat, and they are super rich, you don’t need much to satisfy.  I made mine in standard sized muffin pans and got 6, but you can do a bite size up if you like too!

I don’t know about you, but I just love the warm weather and all the seasonal produce it brings along with it.  Healthy, fresh food does not need to be bland. I eat healthy and can tell you that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor or eat boring.

This Southwestern Avocado Toast is no exception. For this recipe, I chose to use  eureka! organic bread which bursts with rich flavor and tasty goodness! It pairs so well with the fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro and avocado. Put it all together and you have yourself a very delicious and flavorful meal!

Small Steps Toward Health

Melissa King Leave a comment

January is the time when we all decide to make healthy changes. I know I did some indulging around the holidays!  Sometimes the thought of a complete lifestyle overhaul can be intimidating.  I like to set small goals at first. Those small goals can add up to be big positive changes!  There are many little things you can do to take steps toward health.  For example:

  • Take small walks around your neighborhood.
  • Climb stairs at home
  • Start to read labels
  • Up your intake of fruits and vegetables

Did you know that January 26th is National Green Juice Day?  Evolution Fresh makes it easy to get my daily fruits and vegetables.

This salad would be great for parties.  It’s vegan and gluten free.  Super healthy and tasty. This recipe calls for removing the stems from the kale.  Don’t throw them away.  You can save them for juicing or homemade vegetable broth.

Asian Chopped Salad.  I just love salads of all kinds.  I eat them all year long.  My husband made this Asian Chopped Salad this weekend and it was a huge hit.  I can see it going in our regular rotation.

This recipe makes a lot, so it would be great for parties.  For the dressing, he slightly tweaked our Thai Peanut Sauce recipe and it came out great!

If you love salads too, you may also like this post.  I also have a post filled with salad dressing recipes that is worth checking out.

If you are avoiding soy, you can use green peas instead of the edamame.  I also think toasting the cashews would give them an extra punch of flavor.  This salad is vegan and gluten free.
