I love this! I picked up this tray from Pier 1 and have been using it as a decorative piece on my coffee table and recently, I looked at it with a new vision. I started by covering the inside with cute pumpkin cloth napkins to protect the wood detail. Moving on, I filled two bowls … Continue reading Veggie Party Tray Season
My mother in law used to make the most fabulous potato salad, the kind that is so rich and creamy it just melts in your mouth. But alas, it was far from plant-based with its mayo and eggs. So this is the substitute, not as creamy but certainly as tasty. We test made this over … Continue reading Plant Based Potato Salad
This past 4th of July my family traveled as we have for many years to my sister's house on the east side of Cleveland. Her home is nestled in Ohio wine country and we celebrate yearly at Chalet Debonne Vineyards. It's a joy to visit because she prepares scrumptious plant-based dishes too. This year … Continue reading Steff’s Mac and Cheese
I like to shop at Costco and I usually make a stop there every other Thursday. One of the items on my repeat list is the 2 pound package of what I call cherry tomatoes.

I recently had the opportunity to go on a business trip with my husband and that business trip was a cruise! I had heard all about cruises from my family and friends, tales of the 24 hour food selections, drink packages, excursions and beautiful scenery. I must admit I was a little worried about finding … Continue reading Yes, you can cruise healthy

This is a recipe I found early on in our venture into heart healthy living. After watching Forks Over Knives on Netflix I discovered the Forks Over Knives Recipe App which was not free but very low cost, like I think around $5. It updates all the time with new recipes and each recipe has … Continue reading Lentil Sloppy Joes
I came across this recipe called Lentil Enchilada Pasta in the first Forks over Knives Bookazine from 2017. I have made it many times and have tweaked it just a bit to make it my own, and to suit my family. I have dropped the "enchilada" from the recipe name because at my house it … Continue reading Lentil Pasta xoxoxo
I must admit that before starting down this healthy path I think I maybe had purchased lentils once and used them in a soup recipe. I certainly would never have walked into a restaurant and been excited seeing lentil soup on the menu. But, my how times have changed. Did you know that there is … Continue reading Tuesday Tidbit “Lentils”
