A Build-Your-Own Ricotta Toast Spread

in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick Let’s get one thing straight: I’ll never turn my back on avocado toast. But every now and then, even the most die-hard avo-toast fan needs to expand her horizons, and given how quickly the green fruit turns brown, everyone’s favorite trendy toast doesn’t exactly make for the best party food. Today’s […]

Southwestern Superfood Salad

in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick You guys know I love a good salad almost as much as I love a good taco, and when the delicious flavors of those two combine, I’m basically in heaven. This recipe was born from one of those typical summer moments when I accidentally came home from […]

Summer Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Burrata, & Basil

If there’s one culinary lesson I learned from our trip to Tuscany, it’s that the simplest dishes are often the best. Of course, when you’re working with a tiny ingredient list, a recipe is only as good as the quality of those ingredients, so the time to make this spaghetti dinner is when tomatoes are practically […]

These Superfood Popsicles are Model Approved

Recently I listened to the most inspiring podcast interview with Elle Macpherson in which she shared her approach to wellness and how she stays as beautiful as ever by taking care of both her physical and mental health. Ever since, I’ve been dying to get my hands on her Super Elixir Alkalising Greens, so I was thrilled when […]

This Healthy Mexican Bowl Will Make You Kick Your Chipotle Habit

Around Austin, when we say “Mexican food,” we typically mean “Tex Mex.” And for most, the thought of Tex Mex usually brings to mind melted cheese, soppy grease, and sugar-filled margaritas. Don’t get us wrong, there’s a time and a place for alllll that, but in the interest of our ever-evolving wellness journeys, we knew we needed a […]

Healthy Chiles Rellenos

Here in Austin, it feels like we just made a beeline straight from winter temps right into bikini weather (Spring? What Spring?) Although this heat-loving south Texas girl doesn’t mind the quick transition, as I shop for my new swimsuit in March, I’m reminded that it’s time to spring clean my diet a bit. When you come from a […]

“Seriously dip almost anything in this beet hummus, put it on top of a salad, add it to a sandwich, the list goes on. If you ever find yourself reaching for a sugar filled snack or even hitting the vending machine when you need a little something in between meals, try this recipe out!” — […]

Smashed Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Chimichurri

Have I mentioned that I *might* be slightly addicted to sweet potatoes? Yes? Well, fortunately it’s a habit I’m not the slightest bit ashamed of, since sweet potatoes are chock full of vitamins A, C, and B6, plus fiber and potassium, and they are one of the most delicious foods on the entire planet. My love for […]

2 Delicious Ways to Put a Twist on Hummus

It was 80 degrees in Austin last weekend, and I threw on a bikini and jumped in the pool. Nevermind that it’s the middle of February; that one hot day was all it took to send me into total countdown-to-summer mode. Over the past few days, I’ve ordered a new swimsuit, sipped a margarita, and […]

Green Kitchen Travels’ Cold Avocado Soup

Michelle Adams of The Maryn served this cold vegan soup as an appetizer during her healthy January lunch. “You can prepare this a day ahead and keep in a closed container in the fridge,” she says. “If you’re not vegan you can also try replacing the coconut milk with yogurt.” She adapted this recipe from one […]

Kale, Persimmon, & Pomegranate Salad

2016 was the year that I finally boarded the persimmon train. I know, I know: those of you who were early adopters are shaking your heads in bewilderment that I’ve made it this far in my adult life without falling in love with persimmons, but there you have it. I’d always walk right past the […]

Beet, Pomegranate and Hazelnut Salad

Eden Grinshpan’s recipe for Pomegranate, Beet and Hazelnut salad is as flavorful as it is beautiful. Beets can be a bit tricky, but the way they are prepared here are absolutely delicious.  She roasts them in the oven for about 4o minutes with vinegar and orange peel.  The result?  A beet with a delicious and milder […]
