Apple Crunch Slaw with Almond Butter Dressing
This post is sponsored by Sprouts Farmers Market. Apple Crunch Slaw with Almond Butter Dressing... yep, let's talk legit fall food over here. We love the crunch in this plant-based salad from all the shredded veggies, apples, and sunflower seeds. I'm all about chopped salads or "slaw" in this case because sometimes just the way you prep your veggies can make a huge difference in their craveability. If you're asking me my opinion, chopped salads and slaw get my vote any day. Maybe it's the dressing to veggie ratio or tenderness that the extra chopping lends to veggies, or just the fun shape, but whatever the case may be that makes chopped salads and slaw superior, I'm game. Because who couldn't use some more tasty veggie recipes in their life? Annddd almond butter dressing? Say ... View Post
What is a Plant Based Diet?
This post is sponsored by Sprouts Farmers Market. Plant based eating is on trend and while you may be seeing the phrase everywhere, what does a plant based diet really mean? A plant based diet is often used interchangeably with vegan and vegetarianism, but this dietitian over here has her own thoughts on the subject. While you may see it all over packaged products that are derived from plant ingredients and popularized by the latest vegan documentary films, there isn’t a formal definition for the term. A plant based diet is having a plant forward approach to eating by putting plants as the cornerstone of your meals. Build a plate with mostly fruits, veggies, beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds and then (if you enjoy them) add animal proteins and dairy foods as a topping, ... View Post
Homemade Sour Watermelon Fruit Chews
This post is sponsored by the National Watermelon Board. Homemade Sour Watermelon Fruit Chews. Gummies better known as "yummies" at our house are my toddler's favorite food group. And you should also know that he does not discriminate when it comes to yummies. He gets excited about his gummy vitamins every morning, but to his frustration he can only have two... because ya know, toxicity. So this good mom found all the types of yummies... omega 3s, probiotics, vitamin D, multivitamin, you see, so he gets a handful now. Hey, I'll take what I can get and if he gets excited about taking his vitamins in the morning, and I'll count that as a mom win. He takes after me in that he LOVES sour candy, so when I set out to make homemade gummies I knew I had to make them sour. Little did I know ... View Post
