Crispy Artichoke Hearts

Game day isn’t complete without finger foods and these artichoke hearts are so flavorful and crispy. I served them with marinara for dipping, but a garlic aioli would also be amazing!

This recipe is gluten free, plant-based, high-fiber and is ready in less than twenty minutes! The artichoke hearts are also great for your digestion as they help to stimulate bile flow.

If you don’t have an air fryer you can use your oven on the convection setting and cook the artichoke hearts on a wire rack over a sheet pan.

Mango Salsa

This mango salsa is so refreshing and is the perfect combo of salty and sweet. You can substitute the mangoes for peaches depending on what is in season and local to you. The variety of plant fibers in this recipe help to feed those beneficial bacteria residing in your gut.

I love eating this salsa with Siete Foods grain free tortilla chips, but it’s also amazing when served over salmon or paired with a burrito bowl.

Vegan Kale Caesar Salad

We’ve been doing a deep dive on nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. It’s some complex stuff, and it kind of makes me want to hide my head in the sand.

But it’s also the future of understanding nutrition, disease prevention, and health, so nutrition professionals really should have a decent grip on this stuff. Why is it so important?

Detox-Friendly Vegan Chili

I'm developing lots of new recipes for my new nutrition program. And I'm gonna share one with you this week because Super Bowl and chili go together like...super bowl and chili.

I've been making veggie chili for over a decade, and I've never once written down a recipe. But I did you guys a solid and actually measured out ingredients and listed out steps. I tweaked my OG recipe a little bit to make it more detox-friendly.

No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to get healthy. That’s not the issue. The issue is how we approach it. Diet culture instills unrealistic ideals of beauty and provides us with unhealthy ways of achieving them. And then they make a hefty profit.

Grain-Free Apple Crisp

I made this grain-free apple crisp two days in a row because my husband and kid ate the first batch while I was at yoga. Savages. Second time around I wrote down the recipe so I could share with you. Luuuuckkkkyyy. If you've recently visited an apple orchard with your family to post fall images all over social media, cheers. Now you're swimming in apples. Here's what to do with them.

Grain-Free Porridge

Toddlers. Eye roll. They go through some weird food phases, huh?

A while back the Hattster decided she wasn't really into veggies anymore. Such a flip flopper, that one. Luckily for me, she'll eat just about anything if it's covered in cinnamon (kid loves the stuff—she walks around smelling like a graham cracker despite never eating one in her life). So I pulled this gem of a recipe out of my back pocket and started making it on the reg.

Perfect Cauliflower Rice

I pretty much follow a paleo diet. I'm not crazy strict (as evidenced by the 57 slices of gluten free pizza I ate at a recent wedding...we won't even TALK about the wine...it really gave new meaning to the #roseallday hashtag).

Eat Your Veggies Green Sauce

Christmas week was the greatest. We had so much fun, spent time with so many of our favorite people. Last year I was in a sleepless fog and barely registered what was going on. This year we have a toddler who decorates trees, sings Christmas songs and loves Santa. I am totally the sappy, cheesy, sentimental parent right now. But this year was just so, so awesome.

Winter Pomegranate Kale Salad

"What can I bring?" — Erin. "A salad." — Everybody, all the time.

It's most likely due to the fact that I was a vegetarian for 20 years. Or the fact that I'm pretty particular about what I eat. Or that I've got food sensitivities and no one knows what to feed me. Or maybe people really just need someone to bring a salad.

Healthy Chocolate Chunk Brownies

When the desire for a sweet treat sets in, I listen. Keep in mind, though, that pregnant or not, I'm a Real Food Junkie. So I'm not reaching for Pop Tarts or Oreos or Fig Newtons. Nope— I'm getting crafty in the kitchen, figuring out different ways to combine whole, real, nourishing foods and shape them into desserts that I feel good about eating.
