Happy Meatless Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family. If you hosted, as I did, I hope you've recovered!

I have to admit, I had never even heard of Freekeh before I reviewed it earlier in the summer. I originally prepared a roasted eggplant & tomato pasta salad and it was a huge hit. However, since then I've become kind of obsessed with Freekeh and it's now my go to grain of late. I love the hearty texture and the nutritional punch it brings. More on that here. I easily find it in my regular grocery store but it is also available though amazon. This week I am sharing one of my new favorite … [Read more...]

Happy Meatless Monday veggie lovers! Who is ready for some football?! Or maybe just some football food? For some reason, I always eat way too much while watching football games! How about you? I realized that I could easily whip up a healthier version of one of my faves, nachos, and still feel completely satisfied.
