Salads

Sautéed Super Greens

November 15, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Sautéed greens are so easy to pull together, and can be made 5 minutes before the rest of a meal. You can also make greens as a snack anytime you think your body need a good shot of tasty green goodness. Kermit would be proud. This is one of my favorite ways to get vitamins …

Thai Sauce

July 12, 2020 by Erica 8 Comments

Thai Sauce & Marinade

I’d like to introduce you to my favorite Thai sauce, and in my opinion the best Thai sauce. It’s packed with vitamin C, folate, and potassium, and uses fresh ingredients you may already have on hand. I avoid soy sauce and other processed ingredients in favor of natural juices, sweeteners, nut butter, and salt. I …

Egg Salad

May 3, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Egg Salad

Egg salad is another really good reason to keep a couple of boiled eggs in your refrigerator. You can have a quick breakfast or snack by eating a boiled egg, or you can create this egg salad for something a bit more flavorful and filling. It’s also easy to fill in a container with egg …

Roasted Asparagus

April 25, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Roasted Asparagus

Roasting asparagus is quick and easy, concentrates the flavors, and makes the bite tender. I go basic, with oil and salt, but feel free to use alternatives like lemon and oil and maybe a pinch of pepper. I use a high heat to roast but you can probably lower the heat a bit and roast …

Niçoise Salad {quick & easy}

August 25, 2019 by Erica 2 Comments

Nicoise Salad

I’m lazy about cooking when it’s warm outside. And I’m usually craving salads. This state of mind and body calls for quick and easy meals, like this Niçoise salad, that are loaded with protein and hardy veggies with a salty flavor. To make this, grab fresh produce, boil a few eggs, open a can or …

Avocado Kale Salad {lemon honey dressing}

August 17, 2019 by Erica Leave a Comment

Kale Avocado Salad

Avocado and kale go great together. Avocado is a great source of healthy fat and kale is loaded with vitamins (A, B, C, and K) as well as a good dose of manganese, fiber, and protein. Kale is a bit tougher and more fibrous, as green leaves go, so using your hands to tear it …

Raw Berry Cheesecake

June 30, 2018 by Erica 12 Comments

Raw Berry Cheesecake

I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …

Ranch Dressing {dairy free}

September 24, 2017 by Erica 11 Comments

Ranch Dressing {egg-free & dairy-free}

A few weeks ago I cut out dairy in an effort to get rid of intermittent migraines. And it worked. I think I was eating too much aged cheese and chocolate. The great thing was it gave me the chance to dig into some healthy dairy-free options, like this ranch dressing recipe. I usually make …

“Potato” Salad

August 23, 2017 by Erica 6 Comments

"Potato" Salad

This salad is a nice replacement for those not eating complex carbohydrates, like potatoes. Yes, it’s fake potato salad. Cauliflower is the stand-in for potato here and it does a respectable job of it. The key is to play up the other ingredients and flavor to your liking. It goes great as a side, or …

Kale Caesar Salad

Kale Caesar Salad

I reach for kale when I’m looking to infuse my body with nutrient-rich green food. Raw kale is kind of bitter, so the trick to getting rid of the bitterness is to massage the leaves with your fingers. First, I rip the leaves into small pieces and place them in a bowl as I go, …

Falafel {coconut flour}

August 25, 2014 by Erica 15 Comments

Falafel using coconut flour - Comfy Belly

Carrots, parsley and a few other good things make up this grain-free, gluten-free, legume-free falafel. I was at a concert a few weeks ago and, with my stomach growling, I headed over to the concessions area. After realizing that I would be waiting for 45 minutes for food I turned away and sat back down in my …

Tuna Salad

Tuna Salad and Pickles - Comfy Belly

I can eat summer salads year round. Here’s one of the salads I’ve been eating this summer, especially when I need a quick protein-plus-greens fix. I used to keep a stash of tuna and salmon cans in the back corner of my pantry for the day a major disaster hit us. I never ended up using them though—instead I …
