Grilled Bratwurst and Sauerkraut
During the summertime, I’ll splurge every now and then on having grilled bratwurst on a gluten free bun, heaping with sauerkraut. I’d never had bratwurst until I met my husband; his family has strong German roots and his father spent time living in Germany when he was...
Carrot, Leek, and Potato Soup
This is one of our family’s favorite soups that I have been making for many years. It is super easy to make, vegan, and filling. Leeks are a milder onion and so the soup doesn’t taste oniony at all. It’s creamy, thick, and more potato-dominant. You can’t really mess...
My Mom’s Potato & Corn Chowder
My mom was one of the original cleanse participants when I was piloting it many years ago, and she had incredible results. She became inspired to create several recipes, and this was one of my favorites that she came up with. I mean, who doesn’t love soup? While this...
Butternut Squash Curry
A couple months ago, my friend made me a butternut squash curry and it was awesome. I begged her for the recipe, and well, she still hasn't given it to me (just because she's busy, not because she's refusing to)...so I decided I'd go ahead and make my own, using...

Spaghetti Squash with Sausage Marinara (Vegan Option)
This dish is great if you're looking for a healthier option to pasta, and can be modified to be completely vegan. It can be served in the squash for a fancy serving presentation for company (or hey, for yourself or your family, no judgment- pretty food is more likely...

Roasted Acorn Squash Stuffed with Harvest Rice
This is a seriously impressive dish that isn’t as hard to make as it looks. It is a beautiful main course for Thanksgiving or a fall dinner for the vegans at your table…but it’s so tasty, omnivores will devour it (my husband definitely did!). The time it takes to make...
Sauteed Savory-Sweet Brussels Sprouts
This is a Brussels sprouts dish inspired by a local area restaurant where I had a dish similar to this and was really impressed at this sweet-yet-savory take. I knew I had to attempt to recreate it, and I think I’ve come pretty darn close. This would be a great side...
