With the holiday season in full swing, it’s another busy day at the Kelly house and I’ve got a list that’s a mile long to accomplish. Of course, like most women, I start the day feeling ready to “go”…I’m on it! Then reality sets in, there simply is not enough hours in the day to check everything…

Acorn Squash and Spiced Kañiwa
I’m always searching for ways to “amp up” my vegan protein count each day, often turning to quinoa as a standout for increasing my daily intake. Well, move over quinoa (pronounced keen-wha), there’s a new kid in town! Kañiwa (pronounced ka-nyi-wa) is similar to its cousin quinoa in that both are actually seeds (not grains) and…
Out and About: La Jolla & Trilogy Cafe
We’re out-and-about this holiday season searching for healthy, vegan, non-gmo, organic and gluten-free menu items around San Diego. Now, I know that’s a tall order but this is the way we roll in the world. We have collectively (at one time or another) suffered from autoimmune disease, Crohn’s disease, pre-diabetes, esophageal issues (complete removal of…
Cinnabuddah Almond Butter Cups
I’m not sure of a better way to kick off the holidays than with a plate of our Cinnabuddah Almond Butter Cups – a perfect treat for the unexpected visitor. These bite-size, raw chocolate cups are easy-to-make and store nicely throughout the season. What makes our dark-cacao cups so special is not only the love and energy that went…
Gluten Free Blueberry Breakfast Cake
When I find a little extra time in the morning, I typically try to create something special for my girls. With Megan’s need for a completely gluten-free and diary-free diet, it’s not always easy to create a tasty substitute for my old stand-by recipes of days past. Today I’m sharing an updated version of my Gluten…
Coconut Squash Butter
It’s that time again, the holidays are fast approaching and my kitchen is a buzz with new ideas for gift giving this year. Today I’m sharing my recipe for a creamy Coconut Squash Butter that’s easy to make and provides 4 pint-size gifts for the holidays. Our squash butter is slightly sweet and delicious on just about…
Vegan Pot Pie
Pot pie, with its flaky crust and creamy center, is considered comfort food for many people but often includes cheese and a crust that is not gluten-free. What’s a girl to do when she needs some comfort food but can’t tolerate gluten or dairy? We’ve created our own Vegan Pot Pie that’s not only dairy-free but also…
Baked Pear and Ginger Oatmeal
Happy fall everyone! Today marks the Autumn Equinox, a time of beautiful balance. Fall in San Diego may not have the dazzling display of leaves changing color, but the heat has lifted and once again the cool ocean breeze returns. Many of the beach visitors have gone home leaving a stillness of appreciation for the playfulness of…
Chickpea Tacos
Check out the newest addition to our weekly Mexican food fix. Instead of using our basic black beans and rice combination, we’ve mixed-it-up and created a new taco filling using chickpeas, walnuts, and a slightly spicy Cuban Island Spice mix from our local Savory Spice Shop in Encinitas. What a great combination! We ditched the corn tortilla completely…
Stone Fruit Salad
Meal prep could not be easier than throwing together a salad with Organic Girl greens. My advice to anyone with a busy lifestyle is to use organic, pre-packaged salad mixes. Today I’m sharing our Stone Fruit Salad made in under 5 minutes! Yep, under five minutes my friends, and that includes the homemade dressing. Now that’s the way to get…
