Hi all,
Happy winter months. It’s the ideal time for all things 1. easy to whip up and 2. cozy and delicious. This quinoa bowl will do just the trick. It can be made in less than a half an hour, it tastes awesome, it’s grain-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free, with a small amount of dairy in the pesto (assuming you use regular pesto, which has cheese in it).
Make extra so you have a totally tasty lunch for work tomorrow too!

Hi all,
Why are so many of us (a vast majority of citizens, with the number continuing to climb) overweight? Perpetually lethargic? Despite dieting and maybe losing some weight temporarily, continuing to gain it all back and then some? According to a lot of compelling research, the reason is because there is a major mismatch between our genes and the lives we lead today.
Want to change your body, increase your mood and energy, and alter your life? Read on.

Culinary Crafts by Brooke and Maxx is up and running once again. This past weekend was spent engaged in much slicing, dicing, stirring, and sampling in the kitchen together. While the both of us are devoted dessert die-hards, we tend towards eating healthier for the remaining picture of what makes up each of our diets. Thus, this salad was the decided upon entrée for our lunch this past Sunday.
I know, I know, winter and cold weather typically call for all things comfort. Homey and delicious. Salads are for summer time, right? Not this one though. This salad in particular is just that. Warm, comforting, and totally hits the spot. Its also easy to make, really heathy, and quite light. Throw this one together for a filling, satisfying and super yummy lunch or dinner.

Get excited, the next installment in Brooke and Maxxs Culinary Crafts. This is, hands down, the best salad I have ever eaten. Yes, ever. Incredible. Be careful, after trying it once, you’ll be hooked. Speaking of which, a grocery store run will be made in the next few days so I can snag the ingredients myself and make it yet again. While it may sound plain, being a salad and all, this one is anything but. Packed with flavor (garlic, a bit of oil, nuttiness, man oh man), this recipe is sure to become a fast favorite.
Onto the rest of the entry, as told by Maxx:
Another one of Brooke and Maxxs Culinary Crafts in the works resulted in this colorful beauty (which is not only lovely to look at, but tasty to boot). In light of all the routine sweet treats the two of us love consuming in abundance (see our Mouthwatering Matcha Tiramisu, and our recipe for the Best Chocolate Cake You’ve Never Had), we decided to make something on the healthier side for our entrée to showcase. This one is easy to make, dairy free, sugar free, and despite not being raw, ultra healthy, vegan, and packed with good-for-your-body ingredients.
Happy Autumn Everyone!
Quinoa, once you learn how to make it, is one of the most versatile, easy to cook with, enticing blank palettes for a plethora of lunch and dinner options. I cook my quinoa in bulk, always making two or three times what’s needed for whatever particular meal I’m making. Its so easy to pile some in a bowl the next day, top with a smattering of veggies, a protein, some sauce (I love either pesto or coconut curry sauce) and, viola. A mouthwatering meal at the ready.
When initially assembling this particular Fall Harvest Bowl, I was slightly hesitant, imagining the flavors to be potentially too bland. On the contrary. It was vibrant, flavorful, nutty, crisp with the crunch from peppers, the herby taste of the pesto, all utterly delicious.
Ready for a super easy, light, ultra healthy entrée recipe? And one that tastes awesome to boot? 😉 This one is grain/gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. Its filling and loaded with flavor.
