You wanna know what’s crazy? This salad. Along with the Pesto Kale Salad, this is the dish that I make the most often in my kitchen (to eat myself), and bring everywhere, converting people to lentil lovers. It works, in case you were wondering. I actually can’t think of a party or dinner that I […]

This past Sunday, I was asked to “do the food” for a photoshoot and dinner style event with some pretty amazing + crazy talented ladies [see their drool worthy work + instagram feeds at the bottom of this post, you won’t be sorry]. But, more about that project later. Because if you’re here, I know […]

I have strong feelings about this. A little warning before you read. Contrary to what you might think, I think there is a right and a not-so-helpful way to eat your veggies. Which is obnoxious, I realize, because eating veggies at all is a good thing, and something I would/should always encourage. And I do, mostly. […]

Today, I’m sharing one of my all time favorite healthy appetizers from the Simply Real Health Cookbook (pg. 273 for those of you that have your books!) I don’t know about you, but every time I go to a party, the apps are always bread or flour based. Because it’s easy, no doubt. A classic option. Or more […]

As we zoom in on the week of cookbook arrival, I’ve gotten a few questions from people on why I chose to do this project, and how exactly it worked to do it in under a year’s time. So, I thought it would be fun to take you all through my process, and share a little […]

Easy. Just make this salad. Click to play this video. Or, see the full recipe here. What better way to welcome in the Simply Real Health Cookbook arrival week than with my all time favorite recipe?! The Pesto Kale Salad. Now ready for your own test kitchen. Photo by the lovely Jasmine Pulley for the Simply […]

WHAT: Party, party, party-time. WHO: You, silly. And anyone you want to bring. To celebrate like crazy. WHY: Because after a year in the making, The Simply Real Health Cookbook will be here March 20th to have and hold. Woop de woop woop! BRING: Yourself, your book (if you pre-ordered one, and no it’s not too […]

You should totally make these for Superbowl. Or, any party, actually. Easy, healthy, and perfectly bite sized. A little sneak peak of one of my favorite recipes from The Simply Real Health Cookbook: Easy Real Food Recipes for a Healthy Life, Made Simple, out March 6th. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, you should! […]

I’m not really a takeout kind of girl. The food is overly salty, never has enough veggies and fresh stuff and takes just as long (if not longer) to place the order, drive, pick it up, drive home, get ready to eat, etc. And then, after all of that, it’s cold. And you kind of […]

  If a sweet caramelized onion + a perfectly crunchy, roasted brussel sprout had a baby, this is what it would taste like. If that sounds like the best thing ever, you need to make this recipe ASAP. If it sounds like punishment, today is not your kind of post. But then again, this wouldn’t be your […]

  Ok, for real. Whether you’ve committed to eating healthier this year or not, you have to make this soup. A creamy, dairy-free cauliflower soup that really means this: veggies on veggies on veggies. Pureed ones mixed into cooked ones for the best stew-like texture. So you’ll feel full and awesome and energized. And yes, I know what […]

  True confession: in all the years past, Mondays were always my day to start my post weekend cleanse. Usually something extreme, like not eating dairy and grains and sugar and alcohol and meat or juicing straight until I felt a little like gumby. Something- if I’m being totally honest with you- that would make […]
