Homemade Peanut Butter
I really like to have healthy peanut butter but I hate paying the price for the healthier versions. I thought to myself the other day “why not make it?” So i did. I just used my food processor and blended the ingredients and it was super tasty. I don’t think that I will always be

Salted and Toasted Breadcrumbs, a Topping for Pastas or Salads
This is such a simple idea but it really transforms a simple meal with little effort. We have used breadcrumbs toasted and non-toasted, but it really adds that extra oomph especially to a simple spaghetti recipe. I love lentil meatballs on my spaghetti, but sometimes I really don’t feel like taking the time to make

100% Whole Wheat Artisan Bread, No Kneading Necessary
Is there anything better than warm, fresh baked bread? Seriously though, I love bread. Especially artisan bread. There is just something about that combo of the crunchy crust on the outside mixed with the soft bread inside that just makes me smile. It does take a little time to make, but it’s mostly just time

Peanut Butter and Mounds O’Fruit Sandwich
This is our go-to lunch. I think we have this at least twice a week. Like I’ve mentioned before, we have salads every other day for lunch, but on the days we don’t have salads, I’d say that probably every other time I have one of these. Besides peanut butter and jelly, this is definitely

Good Morning Smoothie, Our Every-Morning Breakfast
Like I mentioned in the title, this is the smoothie that we drink every morning for breakfast. Most mornings, this is the only thing that I eat for breakfast, but I occasionally have a bowl of oatmeal along with my smoothie. My daughter has a bowl of oatmeal (or two!) every morning after she drinks

Black Bean Soup, a Family Staple
I love black bean soup. The first time I had this was when I was visiting my daughter Stephanie in Idaho. I volunteered to babysit the grandkids while she ran some errands, and she left a black bean soup recipe for me to fix for lunch. I’ve since veganized (is that a word?) the recipe and
