I love a good savory tart, however, it’s not easy throwing dinner together for my hungry crew after watching a late evening sunset on the beach. Late nights are never a mom’s best friend when it comes to food preparation. No worries, I’ve got an easy recipe the entire family will love! Our Gluten-Free Fig, Onion and Arugula…

Popeye Mint Madness Smoothie
Although I haven’t posted one of my smoothie concoctions in a while, that certainly doesn’t mean smoothies have lost their place at the Kelly table. In fact, we typically make at least one smoothie per day with an endless stream of creative combinations coming from my peanut gallery. Feeling the need for green, my Popeye…
Vegan Strawberry Breakfast Bars
As we begin a busy week, many families are looking for breakfast options that can be eaten on-the-go. Unfortunately, many “quick” options come in the form of pre-packaged bars filled with excess refined sugar. Even when we read labels, and seemingly choose high-quality products with both the USDA organic and non-GMO certification seal adorning the package, the fact remains that…
Vegan Green Curry Bowls
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…
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…

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,…
Creamy Springtime Carnaroli Rice
Spring is in full bloom here in San Diego and nothing tastes better than a light salad and beautifully crafted side dish. Our Creamy Springtime Carnaroli Rice has been paired with fresh green peas, organic asparagus and a touch of fresh lemon zest, making this dish a standout spring meal. Carnaroli rice is a short-grain rice…
Crunchy Southwest Salad Topper Mix
What’s a salad without a little crunch? I’ve been eating salads for years topped with my own homemade croutons but when Megan was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and could no longer have gluten, I had to come up with a new crunchy twist. Today I’m sharing my idea of a nut-free and gluten-free alternative to…
