I absolutely love a bit of color in my food. For some reason, I feel like it heightens the other senses and makes everything smell and taste that much better. Rainbow chard is one of the most beautiful and colorful vegetables there is (hence the name!). It dulls a little when cooked, but it still…

Roasted Beet Salad
Easy healthy dinner ideas? Count me in. This is a simple salad that’s warm and cold, salty and sweet, and tender and crunchy. It’s got it all. If you can find vegan feta, I definitely recommend including it in this salad. The salty taste and crumbly texture brings out the best about all the other…

The vibrant colors are mother nature’s way of making healthy fruit and vegetables more appealing to animals. It’s no wonder why I’m drawn to bright berries and juicy red tomatoes…
