There is nothing I enjoy more in a salad than roasted pumpkin. It adds heartiness sans meat, sweetness without going overboard, and a caramelized quality that makes me feel at home. Whether you are craving a heartier, more comforting salad for fall or dreaming of the crisp brightness of spring, this salad meets you exactly where you are at.

I’ve got a good-as-it-is-easy “non-recipe” type recipe for you (whew – got that?!) on this hot and sizzling summer day: Peach Caprese Salad. This salad is next-level, people!

A FIG-Ment of the Imagination - A dish to tantalize your tastebuds full of mascarpone, honey, fig and sugar, This food recipes from Cara at @cara_melized is perfect for any Halloween Party. 

I'm always trying to think of ways to dress up drinks, especially when you’re having summer parties!  These summer fruit infused ice cubes are the perfect addition to any cocktail, mocktail, or just plain old water.  

Summer is here and with that comes backyard BBQs with family and friends! BBQ's are definitely one of my favorite summer activities and whether you are hosting or attending, it's always great to have a handful of side dishes to satisfy guests. That's why we've pulled together 10 of our favorite BBQ side dishes from one of our favorite sites and magazine: Real Simple. 

I love Easter! It’s such a colorful, happy holiday usually filled with brunch on the beach, family, and too many grapefruit mimosas! I tested these out a few weeks ago and Oh Ma Gah, they were so good!! Not too sweet, the perfect amount of carrot(ness) and were the ultimate Easter desert!

The snack monster strikes again! It always happens right after I eat dinner. I'm at home, indulging in some trashy TV (a la T.G.I.T) and the sweet tooth gremlin starts knocking at my door. But with treats like these ones... maybe I don't mind so much.... 

I know i shouldn't complain but it's been really hot in Los Angeles the last few days! It makes me so ready for the Summer. The sun stays out much longer, it's perfectly acceptable to wear flip-flops all day and people don't judge you if you eat FroYo for dinner. 

I have a sweet tooth. A mighty one at that. I usually can keep it in check, but it tends to rear it's ugly head at night, right after I've had my dinner.. or in the afternoon.. around 3pm... or first thing when I wake up.. okay, okay.. fine! It's an all-day thing. The battle is real, ya'll. 

Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner and we've had our eyes out for a delicious snack that we can eat without feeling all the guilt. That's when we stumbled across Susan Voisin's Roasted Cauliflower Bites recipe on FatFreeVegan and man, oh man! We feel like we hit the snack food jackpot! We knew we wanted to feature it so that all of you can add it to your Super Bowl parties! 

The Holiday Season is in full effect and with that comes parties, dinners and events. It leaves us searching into our recipe catalogs for something tasty.. but healthy.. yet something that will still keep people coming back for seconds (because let's just admit it now, we want to be know as the person who brought the most amazing dish.. am i right?) 

A little more about Arsy; devoted mother, wife, author and successful businesswoman who created the life that she wanted.  What a great reminder to us all to keep following your dreams! 

To keep you enticed about introducing Paleo into your life, I’ve created these gluten-free, pumpkin muffins that burst with Fall flavors. They are loaded with healthy fats, fiber and protein that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.

It’s no secret that California likes their salads. We have vegan restaurants, microbiotic cafes or gluten-free pizza joints almost everywhere you turn. We see words like “free-range” or “organic” in front of all our favorite ingredients and we don’t even blink an eye. We are all about putting healthy ingredients into our bodies.

I have always loved spicy food – but never really knew how much (or how committed I was to it) until I spent an extended period of time in Mexico. I stayed at Papaya Playa Project in Tulum, Mexico and Chef Umberto made the most amazing Habanero Salsa. I finally convinced him to tell me how he made it! 

Maybe you had a bad day or you’ve been eating healthy all week and just can’t curb that sweet tooth that has been pestering the last couple hours. I’m a big advocate for finding alternative ways to still curb those cravings while not breaking your calorie bank account.

I love food. And I love eating. But the two together can prove to be a challenge when you start packing on the pounds. So when I cook, I’m always looking for new ways to still achieve all those delicious flavors that make dishes devour-worthy, but cut all the bad stuff for you.

California is well-known for it’s Mexican culture and incredible food.. With Mexico neighboring our lower border, dishes like slow-roasted carnitas tacos and deliciously marinated carne asada burritos become weekly meals. But sometimes, you just want a little healthier version.

We’ve all been there. We tell ourselves we are going to eat healthy this week. Get back on track and promise ourselves that we won’t grab frozen yogurt for the fourth time this week. 

There are few things I enjoy more than a tasty treat. With all the delicious dessert recipes floating around the internet, it’s amazing I don’t gain weight from how much time I spend fantasizing about eating it all. That’s why I love this super easy Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding.

We love getting together with our families during Father’s Day and if your families are anything like ours, Dad is always in front of the BBQ cooking up some mouth-watering treats.
