I am in the process of putting together a cookbook.
Yay!
It is an exciting adverture that I am being guided on.
It has been in the works since Summer 2015.
I am grateful for all the hands and help in creating this cookbook!
Most importantly, thankful to my Heavenly Father.
Can't wait to share it!

Avacado Toast
This is my FAVORITE FAST Breakfast!!
It's simple. It's nutritious. It's delicious. It's perfect!! Let's just say it's "Easy Peasy, Mac and Cheesy" minus the Mac and Cheese part ;)
I make this almost every day for breakfast for myself. It completely satisfies.

Raw Layered Date Bar
Ok. Let's be serious now. This is one of my FAVORITE desserts. Hands down-top 5!!!
This dessert is RAW. This dessert is HEALTHY. This dessert has great protein for after workouts. This dessert will satisfy your sweet tooth and not make you feel or say..."Oh why did I eat that?" This dessert is filled with GOODNESS. Period. Point. Blank. Good. Ness. Even my kids love this one!! And let's just say, if I haven't convinced you enough already...this pan is gone within 2 days. Yep. I am actually surprised it lasts that long. But it is rich and satisfying, so one slice will keep you happy for at least 2 hours or so. Oh and this dessert is VEGAN. Yep, Vegan can taste soooo good!
Once I open a restaurant, I will serve this for sure!

Veggie Quinoa Tacos
These are seriously one of my favorite things to eat. Plus it is super fast and easy to make!
So this is my 5th post this year. 3rd in one day. I am not sure what that says. But either way...I am on a roll (for today that is)! I am not the best blogger. Maybe it's because it takes about an hour from start to finish to do a post. There is laundry to do (among many other things)! ;) Plus my bum starts to go numb sitting for so long. Just being real here! Or my computer going 20x slower than I want it to. Or...wait, I just got a text, "Honey/Nicole did you change the filter in the furnace room 2 days ago?"-and slice my hand open doing it. But seriously, no excuses. There is always a lot to do, that will never change. Life is great. Life happens. Veggies rock (yes, that is random, but I had to throw that in there). That is why when someone asks me for a particular recipe it gets published faster.
These tacos are Vegan as well. Don't let that make you raise an eyebrow. My kids love these!! If you wanted to add some cheese, be my guest. :) As for me, I love eating raw and as much veggies as my stomach will allow. Vegetables should be the #1 most consumed thing in our diet. Just saying. Those colorful beauties make you glow from the inside out! So embrace with me and love vegetables because they will love you back!!!
This recipe does have cooked veggies. 2 things. #1-don't overcook or cook veggies too long or at too high a heat. It will loose it's color and nutrition the longer you cook them. But I must say in my opinion, onions and mushrooms are better cooked! #2-when I make these tacos, I load as much raw veggies in my tacos (if not more) than I do the cooked. Don't forget the raw! Loves!

Pear/Blueberry Gorgonzola Salad with Maple Dressing
This Salad is definitely a favorite!
A good friend wanted this recipe. It seems I only blog when someone asks. Oh dear. My goal this year was to blog at least 1x a month. I suppose I could sit and blog all Christmas break, but then my plans to sit and stare at the wall and bask in the glory of not having something to do would be foiled.
But I am so glad to post this recipe. It is a crowd pleaser and a meal in one if you choose! I could sit and eat and eat this salad all day. It makes a GREAT holiday salad!!
There are also many variations you can do with the salad if you'd like. I will make note of them in the recipe. But mostly, using fruits and veggies in season is always best.

Aloha Salad with Ginger Lemon Dressing
This one is for my friends. You know who you are!!
So I have a passion for leafy greens. I love them. They make me happy. This salad is happy. It is worth a party in your mouth or in the very least a dance!
There is something exciting for me about making salads. Yes, this is true. I love the challenge of finding a new salad recipe to make. Thinking outside the box when it comes to combining colors, textures and flavors together. In the end...celebration!!
In the past year I have enjoyed experimenting with dressings. Homemade, fresh and full of flavor! So I truly hope you enjoy this one...it's a tangy kinda sweet pop in your mouth.
My rule to making salads: When making salads, add lettuces first, then add dressing. Mix dressing with lettuces. Then add toppings and ONLY mix the top layer of lettuce with the toppings. If you mix and toss the entire salad and the good "Yummies" fall to the bottom, then you don't get the right balance on your plate. And yes, everyone will get "Yummies" with their salad as they serve themselves if you don't toss it all together in the beginning. The toppings naturally fall to the bottom of the bowl. To do this, I take the knife that I am chopping with and stick it in the salad and lift the lettuce up so that it creates air pockets for the toppings to fall into without all of it falling through. I do that a few times. This will also naturally mix the top layer of lettuces with the "Yummies".
So lesson for today: Salad is Exciting, A Mixture of Colors, Textures and Flavors, Deliciousness that makes your taste buds dance and A Science (not a true science, because I never measure things). And FUN!! Love your Salad and Trust me, it will Love you back!!!
