Black-bean Beet Burgers
Vibrantly pink, slightly sweet, and hearty, these are a great vegetarian option for your next BBQ. I have been on a veggie burger kick lately. I like to fill a whole grain wrap with lettuce and chopped veggies and then top it off with a veggie patty before rolling the whole thing up into a…
Whole Grain Quinoa Banana Blueberry Muffins
After a busy few weeks of conferences, travel, running, and work (dissertating), I finally found some time to bake last weekend. Muffins are one of my favorite things to bake, in part because they are so quick and easy, and in part because it is so easy to create delicious, HEALTHY recipes. These are based…
Crunchy Spring Salad from Bon Appetit
A hearty, healthy salad is one of the most satisfying warm-weather dinners. This salad is full of crisp lettuce, crunchy veggies and peanuts, and spicy Asian flavor. The combination of radishes, sugar snap peas, cucumbers and peanuts is just a little bit unique, and tastes incredibly fresh. I found this recipe on Bon Appetit and…
Quinoa Asparagus Pilaf with Avocado and Over Easy Eggs
This healthy quinoa pilaf tastes like spring. It is full of green flavor- asparagus, mint, and peas-and is a wonderful make-ahead lunch or accompaniment to grilled meat or chicken. I use this recipe from Bon Appetit. My only major modifications are to replace the vegetable stock with water and use olive oil instead of butter….

As the weather gets warmer and I spend more and more time outside, I sometimes get a little lazy in the kitchen. I love quick salads for lunch and dinner, but sometimes I want something healthy that is also a little heartier than a big bowl of greens. Enter this chicken salad. It is full…
Whipped Coconut Pumpkin Chia Bowls
On this beautiful Friday, I would like to share with you one of my favorite breakfast treats. This chia pudding is both creamy and flavorful. It feels very indulgent, but packs a healthy punch. Chia seeds are full of fiber, protein, and omega 3 fatty acids, and pumpkin is a great source of vitamin A…
Whole Grain Banana Pumpkin Coconut Bread
This is a really fun quick bread. The recipe combines banana and pumpkin with coconut and a little bit of crunch, resulting in a bread that is full of flavor, healthy fats, and fiber. You can’t go wrong with this recipe! Quick breads are fun to make because they are easy, rarely turn out badly,…
Cherry Macadamia Quinoa Crunch Balls
A couple of weeks ago, I received a big bag of quinoa goodies. My favorite is a wonderful quinoa granola, and some quinoa-nut butter chocolate bars, but I haven’t been sure what to do with the big back of puffed quinoa (besides making more granola when I run out). I have a long list of…
