This was my first time making homemade tomato soup, and my whole family loved it! Definitely different (much much better) than that canned tomato soup I used to eat in college----the kind that gets clumpy and yucky-looking when it cools down. This soup is healthy, creamy... (see the full recipe!)
This salad is called Perfect Kale Salad because I really do think it's perfect. There's a nice blend of flavors, which might make you want a second helping :) My husband saw me pouring the apple cider vinegar into the dressing and said he wouldn't eat any of the salad if that...

I love making veggie-ful sloppy joes (HERE) with homemade sauce, but when time is short and tummies are hungry, it's nice being able to whip up some delicious, quick sloppy joes in no time! The Manwich sauce tastes great, but as a warning, it does contain high fructose... (see the full recipe!)
This canned black beans recipe was so easy and so tasty! I've only cooked dry black beans once, and from the result, I prefer the canned black beans (I may need to experiment with other recipes). Black beans add a rich (healthy-looking) color to any dish. They are also... (see the full recipe!)
When I told my sister about how we're trying out a more plant-based diet around here, she gave me a few recipe ideas to try. Quinoa salad was one of them, and I'm so glad she suggested it! I found a recipe online that looked delicious, but knew that about half the ingredients... (see the full recipe!)
English muffin pizzas are so simple and fun to make. This is a great recipe to let your kids help with. As with all pizzas, you can mix it up with different sauces, cheeses and toppings. In fact, last night I tried a slice of scrambled egg and bacon pizza and a slice of pesto... (see the full recipe!)
