Winter Stew with Stout Beer & Maple Syrup
Winter is officially here in Michigan, which means so are winter recipes! I love this beef stew recipe because it’s so different from the usual stew. My husband is not a huge fan of stew, so when I make stews I always try to make them unique and interesting. I love this recipe because it…

Roasted Pumpkin Soup
Who else is in full on Fall Mode these days? I’ve been incorporating pumpkin into everything from my baking to my morning smoothies, so I was really excited to try out a new pumpkin soup recipe. I adapted this recipe from a butternut squash soup recipe I’ve used in the past, and I really liked…

Healthy Pumpkin Banana Muffins
I’m so excited to share this recipe because guess what: it is HEALTHY and it is DELICIOUS! I love incorporating fruit and squash into sweet treats because it reduces the need for oil and added sugar. In this particular recipe, I used honey and maple syrup to sweeten it, so it has no refined sugar…

Spicy Pork & Miso Ramen
As fall sets in, I’m pretty much always in the mood for soup. I just got back from a trip to visit my grandma in Ohio, and I was craving something spicy, so I decided to pull out my ramen recipe. I made a few tweaks to amp up the flavor, and I’m really pleased…

Hearty Vegetable Soup
I love this recipe because it is the perfect way to use up all of the vegetable odds and ends you have in your fridge, pantry, or (if you’re like me) the giant bowl on your counter. I used everything from peppers and onions to half a bag of frozen peas and few assorted potatoes…

My teriyaki sauce recipe is quick and easy to make, and packed with fresh ingredients. I use low-sodium soy sauce because it tastes better, but it also keeps…

Sweet & Savory Kale Salad
You guys. This MIGHT be the perfect salad! I am having one of those days where I can’t decide if i’m in a summer or a fall mood, and neither can this salad. It combines dark leafy greens and sweet potatoes with bright and fresh summer stone fruit. I am taking full advantage of the…

Spaghetti Squash Boats
Looking for a healthy, hearty dinner? Try my Spaghetti Squash Boats! The recipe is completely vegan, although I did top it with a little bit of Parmesan cheese. I like serving the sauce inside of the squash, but you can also shred the squash with a fork, and serve it more in the style of…
