Leftover grilled veggies are perfect for a next day meal, whether eaten alone, in a wrap, or atop a salad and I’ve got a very simple, quick and delicious summer salad for you today. It takes your leftover grilled vegetables and combines it with a freshly charred avocado and cherry tomatoes, a fried egg, and tons of…
Pecan + Coconut Granola
Freshly baked granola on a sunny morning, it really doesn’t get much better than that… But can we get something clear first? Do you say “Pe-caaan”, emphasis on the A, or do you say, “PEE-can”, emphasis on the E…I feel like southern states pronounce it correctly, since it’s quite possibly their signature nut. And today happens to celebrate…
Curry Spiced Quinoa + Kale Stuffed Acorn Squash
Ever since becoming a vegetarian, well a lacto-ovo-pescatarian {in simpler terms, I don’t eat any meat – fish, eggs, cheese, and milk are part of my diet}, it’s been a journey to not view my food choices as part of a “diet”, but rather adapting to a new eating lifestyle. Coming from a family of…

I recently just picked up a copy of Clean State from the editors of Martha Stewart. My goal has been…
