Brussels Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Dates

February 23, 2015February 23, 2015 Melissa King 2 Comments

This Brussels Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Dates may be my most favorite salad ever. I know I said that about my quinoa salad with avocado and tomatoes, but this is just as good! You all know I love Brussels sprouts recipes. Especially my maple glazed Brussels sprouts. You have got to try this one!

I love the flavors in this. The dates help balance out the acidity of the dressing. This salad is very easy to prepare and should last several days. However, I would only add the avocado right before you are going to eat it. Otherwise, it will get too mushy and brown. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Start your breakfast in a healthy way with this Energizing Green Smoothie. I don’t do a lot of smoothies for breakfast. I much prefer overnight oats. However, my husband likes smoothies a lot. So I made this Energizing Green Smoothie for him. One can never have too many healthy smoothie recipes right? Especially green smoothie recipes. It’s a great way to add greens to your diet. All you need is 4 simple ingredients to make this healthy smoothie! If you like this smoothie, you may also like my raspberry coconut smoothie.

This healthy smoothie is vegan, gluten free and paleo. I added the chia seeds, so there is a boost of protein and also lots of fiber that should keep you full until lunch. You could always make this smoothie the night before, pour into ice cube trays and freeze overnight. Then pop out and blend what you need in the morning. Easy peasy!

Sweet and Sour Cauliflower Stir Fry

December 19, 2014December 19, 2014 Melissa King 17 Comments

OMG this Sweet and Sour Cauliflower Stir Fry is so good! I am a big fan of sweet and sour sauce. Sadly, most store bought brands are loaded with sugar and other additives. So I had to make my own and boy did it come out good! Actually, I can’t take total credit for this one. I came up with the idea for a sweet and sour cauliflower stir fry, but my husband Marcus created the dish. Some other creations of his are my Peanut Noodle Stir Fry and my Sweet Potato Chili. He is so much better at the savory recipes. I served this over brown rice, but it would be equally as good over quinoa.

This Sweet and Sour Cauliflower stir fry is vegan and gluten free. You could probably serve it over cauliflower rice for a grain free option. I kept the veggies and the rice in separate containers in the fridge so I could add the amount of rice I wanted. I ate 2 servings of the veggies and only a small portion of the rice. I can see the sauce working in a lot of other recipes too!

Apple Spice Coffee Cake Muffins (Vegan)

November 18, 2014March 18, 2018 Melissa King 47 Comments

Apple Spice Coffee Cake Muffins. The other day I had a reader ask if I had a gluten free apple muffin.

I did not at the time, so that is why I created these Apple Coffee Cake Muffins. These apple spice coffee cake muffins are good with or without the crumb topping. In fact, they are completely oil free if you skip the crumb topping.

I did half with and half without and both ways are delicious. The applesauce in this recipe keeps these super moist.

My daughter kept trying to sneak some when they were cooling! If you like apple treats you may also enjoy my healthy apple cobbler and my healthy apple pie.

I made mine into jumbo muffins, but you can also do standard sized. You may need to adjust the cooking time though. These muffins freeze great so you can make a big batch and freeze for those busy mornings.
