Making easy weeknight dinners great again. Paleo-ish, Whole30-ish, Healthy-ish.
Like cheese whiz, but dairy free and made with real food ingredients. This sauce has so many uses. Pour it over your fav pasta or pasta substitute for a delish mac n'cheeze. Or pour it over roasted cauliflower for a 'cauli n'cheez'. Pour it over loaded nachos. Or as a dip with veggies. This dairy [...]
I know - why do this to good ole' mac n' cheese? This all happened because I want to reduce my dairy consumption and eat more veggies. But I also want Mac n’ cheese! What’s a girl to do?! I decided to first satisfy the pasta craving by making Detoxinistas vegan Mac n’ cheez. It’s [...]

Iv'e got two different versions of channa masala that I like to make. Today's recipe is a tomato based channa masala. It makes use of all those spice basics we have in our cupboard as well as the garam masala I know you made 😉 This one is best served with warm parathas or puris [...]

This year, like every year, our long weekend is going to be filled with lots of family and summer based fun. Including some water based activities, BBQ-ing with the family and all the [...]
