Yummy Veggie Enchiladas

My husband loves enchiladas but I haven't made them since cutting cheese from our diet, when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it! It was so yummy! I wouldn't be posting it if it wasn't! We had our friends over for dinner and they seemed to really like it too. I think next time I make this I will put it all together the night before and stick it in the fridge until it's time to bake it for dinner the next day. There are a few steps but all are easy and fairly quick. Recipe inspired by simple healthy tasty and modified to our liking

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls (bread machine)

These taste so delicious and are so much better for you than store bought or even some of those homemade recipes that has loads of refined sugar and flour.

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...

Kale Chips

Oh my goodness, these are so good! The first time I tried making kale chips was in my oven and I just used salt, pepper, and olive oil for seasoning. They were really not good at all. I sort of gave up on the idea until I went to visit my friend Emily, who has been eating a whole foods diet for a long time, she is an expert! Her sister actually does the simple healthy tasty blog and Emily posts on there sometimes too! Anyways during our visit, she offered me some kale chips and wow, I went home and ordered a food dehydrator as soon as I could so I could make them! I got this one made by Nesco and love it so far! Recipe from simple healthy tasty . -1 or 2 bunches of kale ripped into chip size pieces (I used curly leaf kale) -1/3 cup raw cashews -2 tablespoons lemon juice -3 tablespoons water -1/4 cup olive oil -1/2 teaspoon sea salt -1/4 cup nutritional yeast -1 small chunk of onion -1/2 teaspoon chili powder -1/4 teaspoon cayenne -1/4 teaspoon turmeric -1 clove garli...
