If you're like me, you still crave salads in the middle of winter (because I feel like salad is always a good idea and they are so simple to make). Well this salad is the perfect robust salad filled with warming, wintery foods. Let's take a closer peek at what yummy, nourishing foods I decided to incorporate into this salad. So for this Roasted Squash + Pear Arugula Salad we have: ☆ arugula ☆ acorn squash ☆ pear ☆ quinoa ☆ cannellinii beans ☆ vegan parmesan cheese ☆ creamy maple tahini dressing This salad recipe truly is so simple, amazingly flavorful, has just the right amount of sweetness, and has some really nutrient dense foods that will no doubt fill you up (I am suprised at how filling this salad is!).

Peach Cobbler Chia Pudding Sponsored by New Chapter Vitamins

October 11, 2018 by HealthyLittleVittles

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of New Chapter Vitamins. The opinions and text are all mine. The New Chapter products mentioned in this post were sent to me as a gift to use in this recipe, thank you so much! As we head into fall, I’m indulging in all that comes with it. Sometimes that means too many sugary sweets, so I wanted to come up with a recipe that tastes like my fall favorite, peach cobbler, but is sweetened naturally AND contains added nutrients like Fermented Turmeric from New Chapter Vitamins! This recipe is actually really simple to make, and because you make the chia pudding and the peach curd the night before, it makes for an easy breakfast the next morning! Yes, I said breakfast! You could also have it for dessert,

Butternut Squash Gnocchi

October 8, 2018 by HealthyLittleVittles

Fall food is in full bloom at my house right now. After this super hot summer, I was so excited to start making fall comfort foods and this Butternut Squash Gnocchi was one of the first recipes on the menu to try. Now the thing about gnocchi... I've never actually made it, and to be completely honest, I've only had it maybe once or twice. I know, I know. Weird. Guys, I've been missin' out! So here we are.

So here I am with a fall-inspired, pumpkin-y dessert to knock those fall socks right off, and of course I couldn't have developed this Pumpkin and Chia Pudding Granola Tarts recipe without the amazing products from Suncore Foods! These tarts are super easy to make,

Slow Cooker Broccoli “Cheese” Soup

October 3, 2018 by HealthyLittleVittles

Y'all... I'm on a kick, a slow cooker kick- and I'm loving it! I do the prep in the morning, let it cook all day and then sit down and eat when we want (or can!). It's perfect. It's so perfect I've decided to add a slow cooker recipe category to my blog and hope to add lots of new recipes there this fall and winter. I never thought I would see the day where vegan could taste so cheesy. Like seriously. The truth is, I LOVE cheese. But I don't eat cheese and haven't for years because me and cheese don't jive... so when I create foods that are cheesy, and taste like the real deal I get very happy. I thought my taste buds were deceiving me at first, but the leftovers proved to be just as cheesy as when I first had this Broccoli "Cheese" Soup.

The Suncore products mentioned in this post were sent to me as a gift from Suncore to use in this recipe, thank you so much! Annnddd... drops the mic. Guys, this is it. The healthiest, yummiest, creamiest cheesecake around. Ya, that's right, I said healthy! I have a confession to make though, I was really disappointed because I didn't think this cheesecake was going to turn out. I was emotionally prepared to start all over and try again, but by some miracle and baking good fortune, not only did this cheesecake set up perfectly, it is fan-freakin'-tastic my friends! So now that we've talked about just how good this cheesecake is (did I mention how

Pea Pesto Grilled Cheese (Vegan + Gluten-Free)

September 24, 2018 by HealthyLittleVittles

I have seriously been in awe lately at how far vegan cheeses have come. Cheese is one of those foods that I still crave, and over the past couple of years I have found myself enjoying the non-dairy alternatives that's out there #thankgodforthat Grilled cheese is always a super simple go-to, especially in the winter paired with tomato soup. It's just one of those comfort meals that takes hardly any time to grill up, which is always a win. We aren't really into the cooler weather here in Ohio yet, but September hit and my brain is ready for some grilled cheese! I decided to kick it up a notch and add pea pesto to the sandwich, along with some vegan cream cheese, and tomatoes... and holy moly was this Pea Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich the bomb.

Blueberry Muffins

September 18, 2018 by HealthyLittleVittles

It was the morning of my birthday and I found myself craving blueberry muffins. I don't remember if maybe it's some sort of tradition, but it was definitly something that I just had to have. Problem is, I haven't quite mastered a gluten-free, vegan moist muffin recipe yet. You can call it birthday luck, or a birthday wish come true because these Blueberry Muffins came out so darn good! The recipe is so simple, which in my house is a must. So what's the secret? What makes these muffins so moist and delicious? Yogurt! Dairy-free blueberry yogurt! I also like to add crystal sugar on the top for that added sweet crunch.
