The BEST Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Seriously, is it possible to not like pizza? Whether its the cheese, toppings, sauce, or crust, there is something to love. Personally, the crust is one of my favorites.

But when you are trying to eat healthier, do you need to cut out the pizza? Not a chance! Improve your pizza and eat up!

Veggie Spring Rolls - With Step-By-Step Pictures!

Spring rolls are really just a fancy way of eating salad if you really think about it. That doesn't make me love them any less! Hence eating them nearly every day as part of lunch during my dietetic internship.


One of the great things about spring rolls, is there are infinite number of ways to fill them. You can add various veggies, different proteins, grains, healthy fats, and even fruit to them! I have yet to eat a bad spring roll.

CHALLENGE: Curried Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Challenge accepted! My good friend challenged me to come up with a healthier dessert recipe that involved curry. After thinking up some ideas, I figured you can never go wrong with cookies...especially when chocolate is involved!

Since it's September (almost fall!!!), of course I had to use pumpkin. I am one of those people who gets so excited for the season of "pumpkin-everything." And I must say, the pumpkin paired with the curry spice was perfect!



Southwestern Quinoa Salad

Oh, quinoa, how I love you so. As a source of complete protein, it is used as a staple in many vegetarian/vegan diets. Quinoa is quick and easy to cook, and it's incredibly versatile.

This recipe was inspired by...leftovers. I had some leftover ingredients in the fridge that I desperately needed to use up. I am not one for wasting food, especially healthy food!

Roasted Veggie Enchiladas

What do you imagine when you think of enchiladas? Assuming you imagine red sauce and cheese, you might picture something that looks like this:

 
Enchiladas are typically filled with cheese and/or some sort of meat. That does not sound like a very nutritious meal to me. How about we mix this up a bit?
