We are in the middle of “Macaroni Free March.” Everyday, my almost five year old would ask for mac n cheese and probably about half of the time we’d make it for him from a box from Whole Foods – something I swore I’d never do! To get out of this rut, we declared...
I am not vegetarian but I’m really digging this “queso” dip that contains no cheese or dairy. I’m convinced in a blind tasting, you wouldn’t be able to tell it’s not real cheese. And what’s even better – you can serve at a party and it doesn’t get hard or lumpy as it cools...
Parmesan Spaghetti Squash with White Beans and Spinach
This meal is a long time favorite of ours; even our 4 year-old enjoys it. It’s been modified from a photocopied recipe shared in a Weight Watchers meeting and a quick google search shows it’s not to be found anywhere online, so I’m glad to be able to share my version...

Cheese and Pepper Zucchini Noodles
This dish is OH MY GOSH good. So simple, and so, so good. Did I mention it’s good?
I’m mildly obsessed with zucchini noodles. I only recently realized how many calories noodles have and how delicious zucchini noodles are. I’ve tried a few different avocado sauce recipes; they usually contain lemon, and for some reason the citrus and the avocado just make me...
