This recipe was born during one of those “I need something sweet but filling” afternoons. I tossed a few basics into the blender — almond butter, banana, almond milk — and it turned out so creamy and comforting, I now make it on repeat. It’s the perfect mix of indulgent and nourishing.

Back when I was first trying to cut dairy, I missed those creamy, diner-style milkshakes. After a few flops, I landed on this version — and it’s everything I hoped for. It tastes like dessert, but it’s made with real strawberries, plant milk, and zero guilt. My daughter even calls it “pink milk magi...

I used to think I had to give up milkshakes if I wanted to eat healthy. But after some experimenting, I found a version that’s rich, creamy, and totally dairy-free — and my kids are obsessed with it too. It’s our go-to treat when we want something indulgent but still nourishing.

This recipe was born out of one of those “what do I do with all these tomatoes?” kind of weeks. I had a bowl full of ripe ones from the farmer’s market, and on a whim, I threw a few on the grill. That little bit of char brought out all their sweetness, and when I topped them with olive oil and fresh...

One summer evening, I had a rainbow of bell peppers sitting on the counter and no idea what to make. I sliced them up, brushed them with olive oil, and threw them on the grill next to our chicken — and that was it. Simple, bright, and bursting with flavor. Since then, grilled peppers have been a reg...

I know what you're thinking... avocados? In dessert? I was skeptical too — until I tried it. One bite and I was hooked. It’s smooth, creamy, and so chocolatey. My kids devour it without ever guessing there’s a vegetable involved. Total mom win.

This was one of those “use what you’ve got” meals that turned into a total favorite. I had leftover broccoli rice and a few random toppings — and suddenly I had this fresh, colorful bowl I didn’t want to stop eating. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect for warm weather days when heavy meals just w...

I started making these little pineapple cups when I wanted something cold and juicy after a long hot walk. It’s barely a recipe, but wow — that lime takes it over the top. Tart, sweet, and SO refreshing. Keep a few of these in the fridge and thank me later.

These Mango Lime Popsicles were born out of necessity a heatwave, cranky kids, and one lonely bag of frozen mango in the freezer. I blended it with lime and a touch of honey, poured it into molds, and hoped for the best. The result? Pure sunshine on a stick. Now we make them on repeat — they’re natu...

The first time I made this Citrus Burst Sorbet was during a heatwave when everyone in the house was melting and begging for something cold. I didn’t want to hand out sugar-loaded popsicles, so I threw together fresh citrus, a touch of honey, and ice in the blender. The result? A frosty, zesty treat ...

When I first tried this…

It was SO hot outside. I’m talking sweat-dripping, kids-fighting-over-the-hose, iced coffee-melting-in-10-minutes kind of day.
I had a giant watermelon on the counter, and no one wanted to eat it in chunks anymore. So I froze it on a whim — and blended it with a little lime...
