Oh hello!

I’ve been away awhile.  Not without good cause though.  Apparently, renovating your house sucks the life out of you.  Go figure?!

Over the last few months, all my creative energy has gone into planning the reconstruction and redesigning of a few rooms in our house.  So…I’ve traded cooking shows for HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” which is running at all times on my TV (seriously, I’m totally addicted to that show and that family).  I’ve learned so much watching Jo transform the absolute worst looking houses into amazing dream homes.  Her modern farmhouse style is the inspiration for my new dining room, foyer and hallway.   It’s a work in progress but I’m happy to report the project is coming along nicely.

Finally, after weeks of living with plastic curtains, dust filled furniture and literally tripping over work debris, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  It’s starting to look more like the house I’ve always dreamed of.

As you can imagine, I haven’t had much time to work on recipes and photographs for the blog. I did have a chance not too long ago, to whip up a one tiny little recipe.  I saw these gorgeous Easter egg radishes at the market.  I always get them this time of the year because they are so pretty AND I just happen to love radishes.  Yes, everyone knows you can eat them in a salad, BUT, did you know you can roast them too!?  They take on a completely different flavor.  Much like the rich caramelized flavor of a roasted potato, but without the starchiness.  I really think it’s just one of those things you have to try!

Although roasted radishes are great for just popping in your mouth as a snack or side dish, I thought it would be fun to make hummus with them.  Sounds strange I know, but trust me… soooo good!  They blended really well with the white beans I used.  You can spice it up with just about any of your favorite herbs or seasonings.  But I decided to keep it fairly simple by just adding some garlic and lemon juice, so the flavor of the radishes could shine through.

Give it a try and let me now what you think!

Happy Fall everyone! šŸ‚šŸToday I’m sharing m Happy Fall everyone! šŸ‚šŸToday I’m sharing my favorite fall salad dressing! I tend to roast a lot of vegetables this time of year, particularly butternut squash and sweet potatoes and add them warm to salad greens along with whole grains, seeds and or nuts, to make a complete meal. This salad dressing made with apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard and maple syrup along with warm fall spices, is that extra special touch that takes salad to a whole new level! So ditch the icky preservatives and artificial ingredients along with the high sugar and sodium levels of store bought brands and get ready to taste the difference! Recipe on the blog now! .................. #fall #autumn #salad #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #plantbased #vegetarian #veganrecipes #vegan #foodblog #foodphotography #healthyfoodie #healthyfamily #healthyeating #vinaigrette #plantbasedfood #foodandwinemagazine #bonappetit #food52 #food52grams #foodstagram #huffposttaste #tastyfood #tastingtable #healthyaperture #foodandnutrition #foodbloggers #redbanknj #monmouthcountynj @foodtographyschool @backdrop.woodville @twolovesstudio
Tacos are one of my favorite ways to showcase seas Tacos are one of my favorite ways to showcase seasonal veggies! All summer I’ve been using zucchini and corn, but it was nice to switch to roasting sweet potatoes now that some cooler air is settling in. If you’re looking for a great way to transition to more plant-based meals, look no further than these delicious sweet potato and black bean tacos! Instead of traditional salsa, I made a vegan coconut lime crema that I drizzled over top (look for the recipe in my stories). Here’s how easy it is to make these: •2 cups peeled cubed sweet potatoes •corn or flour tacos •favorite Spanish style rice •15 oz can black beans (rinsed and drained) •optional add ons: avocado, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, cilantro Preheat oven to 425 F and roast the sweet potatoes about 20-30 min until soft and golden brown. Warm the tacos on a nonstick pan until they begin to puff. Assemble the rice, black beans and roasted sweet potatoes in the taco and add favorite salsa or the coconut lime crema over top. Enjoy! šŸ’ƒšŸ˜ŽšŸ‘ŒšŸŒ® .................... #tacos #plantbased #healthylifestyle #healthycooking #mexican #veggies #vegan #vegetarian #jerseyfreshlove #feedfeed #foodphotography #food52 #easydinner #monmouthcountynj #weeknightdinner #weeknightmeals #huffposttaste #tastyfood #foodgawker #foodblogger #foodtographyschool

There’s nothing like picking up some fresh basil There’s nothing like picking up some fresh basil on a Sunday morning at the farmers market! I’m sure you can smell the freshness just by looking at it. Just a handful of fresh basil can take a dish up an entire notch, not just in flavor but in nutritional value as well. Herbs contain a ton of antioxidants and we should be using them whenever we can! I used a bunch of this fragrant basil in a delicious pasta recipe I’ll be sharing on the blog very soon! šŸ˜‹ ......................... #foodblog #foodie #jerseyfresh #basil #herbs #foodphotography #newjerseyfoodphotographer #pasta #italian #summer #healthylifestyle #vegan #vegetarian #plantbased #nytimescooking #food52gram #food52community #feedfeed #buzzfeast #buzzfeastfood #plantlife #redbank #farmersmarket
Hey guys! My first attempt at stop motion video!🄓 Definitely one of the benefits of having teenagers in the house is to help with technology! 🤣Today we made delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats! We’re exploring quick healthy options for back to school breakfasts. Oats are a super healthy way to get in some whole grains for energy, combined with peanut butter for protein and healthy fats to help keep kids fuller for longer periods (when snacking might not be an option). Chocolate cacao powder is full of healthy antioxidants, so it’s a win overall! For the recipe: -1/2 cup rolled oats -1 tbsp cacao powder -1 tbsp maple syrup -1 tbsp peanut butter -2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk Stir ingredients together then chill in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Serve with cacao nibs, granola, or sliced banana, shredded coconut or enjoy just as is! ........................... #oats #backtoschool #chocolate #peanutbutter #healthylifestyle #healthykids #healthyteens #monmouthcountymoms #plantbased #plantbasedbreakfast #easy #recipes #foodblogger #healthyeats #healthyteens #breakfastideas #redbanknj #oatmeal #yahoofood #huffposttaste #instagood @themonmouthmoms

One of my favorite ways to eat them is on toast. In this weeks post I’m sharing a Whipped Feta recipe thats so creamy and a little healthier than most whipped feta recipes. I add it to the toast and top it with figs, honey and crushed pistachios! It’s insanely good. Have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner (why not?)

Hey everyone! Talk about a week of technical diff Hey everyone! Talk about a week of technical difficulties šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø. Between tropical storm power outages to tech issues with phone and computer I’m so happy to finally be able to get this post out today! 😰 When things don’t go as planned (hello 2020) it’s nice to have a few easy, no fuss recipes up your sleeve that you can whip up in no time at all. This Sesame Noodle Veggie Bowl is one of them! An added plus is that you can add any kind of protein to this dish (shrimp, chicken -if you prefer meat) or keep it plant-based by adding crispy tofu (my fave)! Comes in handy when nobody in the family can agree on what to eat 🤨!Of course it’s delish as is, with just the veggies! šŸ˜‹ Get the recipe by clicking the link in my profile! ......................... #noodles #vegan #vegetarian #plantbased #foodphotography #foodtographyschool #food52grams #feedfeed #feedfeedvegan #veggies #huffposttaste #healthyaperture #tastingtable #yahoofood #easyrecipes #healthylifestyle #foodblogger #instafoodie #redbanknj #monmouthmoms #familyfood #familystyledinner
