In the last year or so, I've gotten REALLY into tempeh.
It's inexpensive, high in protein, filling, and takes less than 10 min to cook.
If you've never heard of tempeh, it's a fermented soy product commonly used in vegan and vegetarian dishes, oftentimes as a substitute for meat.

It consisted of only 3 ingredients and she baked it in the toaster oven which took way faster than using a regular-sized oven.
Because of its smaller size, the toaster oven cooks the salmon much faster which means that dinner is on the table in just minutes!
Read MoreBack in February, I got my first ever slow cooker and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances (shhh...don't tell my Vitamix!)
Today I want to share a couple of super simple slow cooker recipes that have quickly become my weekly staples. Make a batch or two to last all week!
(If you're a beginner in the kitchen, hate cooking, or don't have time to cook, these recipes are perfect for you!)
Read MoreThese burgers are SO ridiculously good (and EASY) that they make a regular appearance in my weekly food prep sessions. The seasoning (which I am obsessed with and got from Mark's Daily Apple) is so spot on that the burgers taste amazing as is, even without any toppings.
Cooking them in the oven means that you can get your multi-tasking on AND check things off your to-do list while they're cooking.
Read MoreA few weeks ago, I had a massive craving for carbolicious, cheesy comfort food. My boyfriend is a big pizza fan and has been incredibly open to trying all of my "crazy" kitchen creations, so I made this gluten-free pizza for us and he just about freaked out when I told him the crust was made out of cauliflower.
CAULIFLOWER!
Read MoreI make these all the time and not only are they tasty, but the protein, fat, and "bulk" makes them very satisfying. Enjoy these simple pancakes at any time of day!
Read MoreI wish I had come up with this idea...it is absolutely brilliant! I've seen Salads-in-a-Jar all over Facebook and Pinterest and since I love any excuse to use my mason jars, I knew it was just a matter of time before I hopped on the bandwagon. The beauty about using mason jars instead of your usual container is that the design of the jar makes it possible to layer the salad so the ingredients stay separate until it's time to eat. No more soggy lettuce! Plus, mason jars don't leak so you can throw this in your bag and not have to worry about making a mess.
Read MoreCooking meat at home is relatively new for me. I used to eat mostly vegetarian at home and satisfy my carnivorous cravings when I ate out so someone else could cook the meat for me. My constantly evolving journey of figuring out what types of food best support my health (from mostly vegetarian, to mostly raw, to mostly vegan, to mostly gluten-free, to mostly sugar-free) has most recently landed me in the land of the Paleo Diet (though I hate calling it a diet, because it's really more of a lifestyle)
Read MoreI am a HUGE fan of Mexican food, which I suppose comes from living in Southern California for so many years. I developed this recipe in response to a craving I had for melty, cheesy quesadillas at a time when I was eating gluten-free and dairy-free. What's a girl to do?
