Recipe: White bean and Kale Soup
Vegan white bean and kale soup lovingly prepared by a friend… Avocado toast made with fresh sourdough bread expertly made by another friend. I sure do pick my friends wisely!

Enjoying my juice so much, that I almost forgot to take a picture before it was gone – ha! Thanks @beckiann13 for the delicious way to start my morning!
Ingredients: carrot, celery, ginger, apple, cucumber
Restaurant Review: Picante – California
I love Mexican restaurants that have friendly staff, clean facilities, lots of tortilla chips and salsas. And the big 5 gallon bucket of pickled jalapenos and carrots just make my heart sing! But I really love Mexican restaurants that have vegan dishes on the menu. Picante’s Veggie Butternut Squash #burrito is flavorful with right amount of spice and plentiful! Totally ordering this dish again. Butternutsquash, rice, pinto beans, pico de gallo salsa, grilled bellpeppers and onions wrapped up in a tomato tortilla… Delish! I’ll see you at the table!
Recipe: Curried Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, cooked
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 clove garlic, diced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup craisins
1/4 cup raw cashews Lemon
Directions: Cook quinoa per package instructions. In another pan, water sautee garlic, onion, and bell pepper for 5 minutes. Add all ingredients to quinoa and mix through. Turn off heat, leave covered for 5 minutes. Squeeze juice of half of lemon over the quinoa and serve immediately. Great with veggies, like roasted Brussels sprouts.
Restaurant Review: Ginger’s Cafe 3
Best healthy fast food in Springville – veggie wrap from Ginger’s Garden Cafe. Great lunch on the go while driving to St. George.
Product Review: Vegan Tamales
Vegan tamales with salsa and tomatoes and cilantro – ole! Yes, my tastebuds were happy.
Recipe: Green Smoothie 3
Pineapple + raspberries + banana + kale +grape juice + water + ice = good fuel for the#brain and #body. Especially beneficial when attending a two day marketing bootcamp because I like to learn, enjoy the material and not get sleepy mid-day.
Restaurant Review: Rye SLC
First time, so I tried a variety of dishes. Appetizers of Garlic Fries and Truffle Mac & Cheese. I love garlic, but after starting with the Garlic Fries, everything else tasted like garlic. So if there was any truffle oil on the Mac & Cheese, I couldn’t taste it, but it was creamy-lovelyness. I liked the option to add bacon or spinach – the fresh spinach was stirred in just before bringing to the table and added a nice layer of texture. Main course was pho-like Noodle Soup. Aromatic enough to combat the garlic attack on my taste buds, but I think their garnish was wimpy with very little cilantro and Thai basil. Some people love fatty ppork and I’m sure it added flavor, but no thank you! Industrial, simple decor made for an easy environment that was comfortable for a casual business lunch. The service was slow, but nice and easy going. Overall, it was a good experience, but I’d still recommend Oasis Cafe (located just one block north) over RyeSLC – any day of the week.
