I was an almond milk loyalist for a while, but after my husband got a kidney stone (seriously – do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you can to avoid getting one), he needed to drastically reduce foods high in oxalates – almonds being on the top of the list. So, we tried cashew milk and were instantly hooked.

For those nights when I just want something to come together quickly, and I want it to be healthy and nourishing, this Crunchy Kale & Quinoa salad has become a go-to. I love that it contains dark, leafy greens, healthy fats, crunch, a tiny bit of sweet and a complete protein. A complete protein? What’s that?

I am a non-coffee drinking coffee lover. My husband makes coffee every morning, and sometimes I grab his mug just so I can sit and smell it for a moment. The aroma alone makes me happy. I didn’t quit coffee willingly. Quite the opposite in fact.

I love when the whole family eats the same meal. With a 2-year-old, that doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does - magic! It is such a timesaver, and there is something so gratifying about feeding my whole family a healthy breakfast.
