Who doesn’t love a slightly spicy curry bowl? There’s just something soothing about a bowl full of sticky rice, slightly sautéed vegetables and warm coconut milk with a spoonful of green curry paste. Although my Vegan Green Curry Bowls are truly easy to make, they look as if you’ve spent some serious time in the kitchen. The…
Mother’s Day Love Cake
Being a mother is the greatest blessing of my life and has brought me LOVE beyond what I knew existed. As mothers, we are continually encouraged to become our highest self, filled with compassion, creativity, playfulness, selflessness, generosity and dependability. We teach as we learn from these little masterful souls, and in the end, gain much more than we…
Vegan Shepherd’s Pie
My idea of dinner after a busy day starts with fresh and simple ingredients, a little old-school Fleetwood Mac playing in the background, and my kids sitting at the counter chatting away about their day as I peel and chop away. Vegan Shepherd’s Pie at the Kelly house consists of ingredients that I typically have on…
Anasazi Bean Tacos
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! This first week of May is such a unique time of year, beginning with the colorful celebration of Mexico’s victory over France at the Battle of Pueblo during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). As the days turn warmer and the sun shines longer, we begin to feel the call of all mothers and…
Out and About: Seattle
We have a limited number of opportunities to create memories with our children and I’m here to tell you these times become much more precious as we age. I recently took a weekend-adventure trip to Seattle with my oldest daughter Megan. Disconnecting from routine and spending alone time with someone you love is such a joy! While we…

This simple gluten-free pastry is truly easy to make and reminds me…
Black Quinoa Fiesta Bowl
Are you in need of a quick idea for lunch or dinner this week? No need to look any further! Our Black Quinoa Fiesta Bowl is a lightened-up, healthy meal for the Mexican food lover in all of us.

Nut Tuna and Basil Appetizers
My Nut Tuna and Basil Appetizers are the perfect start to any springtime plant-based meal. Also, ideal as an afternoon snack or picnic bite. Plan ahead, as these are much more digestible when the almonds and sunflower seeds have been soaked. I also like to let my sunflower seeds sprout which typically takes about 12-24 hours, however,…

Carnaroli rice is a short-grain rice…
Roasted Veggies and Banza Chickpea Pasta
Who doesn’t love a great bowl of pasta, dripping with sauce or covered in cheese? I’m not gonna lie, I still occasionally crave pasta but understand that refined pasta does not love me. We all have the desire to make dietary changes to increase our health and vitality but most find change difficult unless their body…
