Butternut Squash, Kale, Chèvre & Gnocchi Casserole

Butternut Squash, Kale, Chèvre & Gnocchi Casserole

Gnocchi has always been a special kind of comfort food for me. When my previous marriage was failing and I was too scared to admit it, I worked off my anxiety in the kitchen.  My inner Italian grandma came out and I was all about making homemade pizza, pasta, ravioli, and gnocchi.  My favorite to [...]

The BBQ Bowl with Zesty Ranch Dressing

Right now, I’m all about doing things that are good for my soul. I recently went back up to San Jose to go to the wedding of a dear friend of mine from high school.  I had to get up very early in the morning to drive six hours and be there in time for [...]

Beluga Lentil & Farro Kale Salad

By keepinitkind On January 21, 2013 · 38 Comments · In Recipes, Salad

I am not a dieter.  I’m just not good at depriving myself of food or following strict rules about food.  I find myself getting obsessive about every little calorie and gram of fat and protein and carb and it makes me crazy and angry, so I just don’t do it. I don’t weigh myself, either. [...]

Red Kuri & Beet Kale Salad with Cranberry Orange Balsamic Dressing & Pecan Parmesan

I’m one of those people who, in order to feel better about the not-so-healthful food choice they are consuming, like to enjoy a salad on the side.  It’s like adding something super healthy to something not-so-healthy makes it all balance out.  Ordering pizza?  I’ll throw together a salad to go with my 2 slices.  Vegan [...]

Pomegranate & Chickpea Quinoa Stuffed Squash

Always the romantic, The Chickpea surprised me with an extravagant gift. He had stuffed an acorn squash (winter squash being one of my most favorite things about fall and winter) with a mixture of golden beets, pearls of quinoa, emerald kale, and the most dazzling of jewels, pomegranate seeds!  I felt truly spoiled! The best part [...]

Mango Peppercorn Glazed Tempeh Salad with Balsamic Blackberry Chia Dressing

By keepinitkind On August 8, 2012 · 21 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Salad, Sauces, Dips & Dressings, Vegan Tips

I know there are people out there who do not care for tempeh.  People who even strongly dislike tempeh.  I’d always been on the fence about it.  I have always liked it in small pieces and heavily marinated, the end product being hidden inside a wrap or a taco shell.  I like when restaurants do [...]

Summer Vegetable Salad

When I was a personal trainer, I had a client who was very dear to me.  Kim was one of those people who I immediately hit it off with and every session (three times per week) was spent catching up on each other’s lives (what we’d done recently, new things we’d cooked, vacation plans, family [...]

Super Mango Pineapple Acai Bowl

Recently, I returned home from yoga to find a huge box on our doorstep.  In this box, I found a Vitamix.  For me.  From my husband.  I feel like an official vegan now.  An official vegan with the most amazing partner anyone could ever ask for.  It’s not just this gift, though.  Have you seen [...]

ABC Kale Salad (a.k.a. Apple, Beet & Chèvre Kale Salad)

During my first summer in LA, one of my favorite things to do was take Samantha, my canine companion, to the dog beach in Huntington Beach.  It was a completely selfish routine, as Samantha hated water or anything even remotely wet.  I just liked sitting near the ocean with my good friend and she was [...]

Minestrone with Mini Seitan Meatballs

That first year of high school is rough.  Add starting high school in a new town, only knowing one person (a cousin), while transitioning to living with your grandparents, and you’ve got enough to give a hormonal fourteen year old girl a nervous breakdown.  Every day was a crazy whirlwind of emotions from trying to [...]

Now that Easter is done (and all the candy is gone), it is time to get back on track.  No more of this “eat-all-the-chocolate-you-want-because-calories-don’t-count-on-holidays-or-the-three-days-preceeding-them” attitude.  It also means that the twins are back in school and I have to get to resume my morning gym/long run routine.  Three or four mornings a week, I go [...]

Red Russian Kale & Pea Soup

I don’t know where my obsession with pureéd soups came from.  I know it started somewhere around the time I had my wisdom teeth pulled, a couple weeks before this last Christmas.   It only intensified with the gift of an immersion blender from my husband.  Long after I was able to comfortably eat solid foods [...]

You know how some days, even the most mundane tasks seem incredibly daunting?  Laundry.  Making a pot of coffee.  Putting on shoes.  And to top it off, its super cold and blustery outside.  You know those days.  Yesterday was one of those days for me.  Everything seemed to require a huge amount of energy and [...]
