Oh, I know how you love shrimp and grits so much! But as I’ve moved away from the Pescatarian life and into the simple stated, “plant based” life I’ve decided to try some new things. This is one of them. This was quick and easy. It has to be on Sundays because I made it…

Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Plantain
This happened this morning. I’m sorry Vegans, but eggs have been tough to part with. I don’t eat them in access so I feel I’ll survive, lol. On another note, I grew up eating fried, sweet plantains. I love them. As a kid I’d eat a whole order of plantains from a Dominican or Jamaican…
Sweet Potato Taco Bowls
I’m a taco lover! Wrapped or naked, I love a taco. I’ve been loving Buddha bowls and decided why not make a taco Buddha bowl. Not familiar? Buddha bowls are pretty much colorful bowls usually composed of vegetables, healthy grains, and protein — they’ve become one of this year’s or I should said last year’s…
Thai Green Chickpea Curry
This is a vegan dish that is not only tasty, but nutritious! This dish is filled with fiber, protein, and iron. I love making curry dishes, but this is actually my first time making green curry. I typically make Thai red curry or Caribbean curry dishes. I did a little research to find out what…
Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Today was a snow day which means schools closed and I closed my private practice. These are the days that I could complain because of having to close up shop, but in mastering mindfulness I reframe and practice gratitide for being able to embrace a free day of cooking, cleaning, exercising, watching movies, and spending…
Vegan Thai Lemongrass Coconut Curry Soup
All you need to know was that this was deeeeeeelicious and so quick and easy to prepare. It literally took me 15 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook. I’m currently doing intermittent fasting where I am fasting 16 hours a day and have a 8 hour window where I eat. My dinner time…
Pesto Lasagna Rolls
The first time I ever had lasagna rolls was at Olive Garden. I absolutely loved them. I honestly thought it would be something hard to make, but it wasn’t at all. I really enjoyed preparing this recipe. I am proud of myself for being able to craft together lasagna rolls which in the end meant…
Cauliflower Mac and Gouda
I never really eat cauliflower or gouda cheese so I was excited to make this dish. It turned out to be a nice size so we had it for leftovers for lunch the following days. I realize why Gouda cheese is expensive— it is ridiculously good! I couldn’t stop eating it while preparing the dish….

Strawberry Picking with Friends
My friends and I all have children around the same age which makes it fun for us to plan outings. Each summer we do something fun and meaningful with our children. From picking apples (upcoming post) in the fall or picking strawberries in the summer. Normally, I share about places to go in RVA, but…
