Creamy Lemon Hummus Pasta with Vegetables

January 25, 2016 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 34 Comments

My fabulous friends over at DeLallo sent me product to use in this recipe today. We’re using their Gluten Free Corn/Rice Spaghetti for this recipe!

It didn’t matter where we went out to eat when I was younger; I was the one ordering the fettuccini alfredo.

If it was on the menu, my eyes wouldn’t even see the rest of the options – I developed a sort of tunnel-vision for my all-time favorite grub. A pile of perfectly al dente pasta smothered in a creamy, dreamy, buttery, cheesy white sauce?

*Channeling my inner-Chandler Bing* Could there BE a more delicious dinner option?!Read More

No-Bake Samoa Macaroons

January is a funny month where I always try to get back on track after the crazy-indulgent holidays. I’m get ridiculously pumped up, ready to workout every day after work and working to clear my kitchen of any lingering treat-yo-self goodies. I find myself saying things like,”Let’s buy cute workout clothes as inspiration!”, “Let’s buy ALL the fruits and veggies at Trader Joe’s this week!”, and “Let’s make green smoothies all day long!”

…but then, without fail, January 2 rolls around, and suddenly my body totally forgets all of it’s health-forward intentions and longs for those craveable sugary treats somethin’ fierce.

Welp. Please tell me I’m not alone here.

[This Oat Week recipe is sponsored by my wonderful friends over at Bob’s Red Mill! We’re using their perfect Gluten Free Oat Flour from Bob’s for this recipe!]

I’m SO excited; it’s the second week of Fooduzzi’s Oat Week (check out my previous Oat Week recipes here)!! I’m coming at you with two crazy-delicious oat-filled recipes with the help of my friends at Bob’s Red Mill!

I figured I should start this post with a tiny disclaimer: I’ve never actually had a falafel.

However, I have fun saying the word falafel, and I understand the general premise of a falafel, so I figured I’d give a falafel recipe a whirl.

And boy, am I glad I did.

Healthy Vegan Smoothie Recipes for the New Year

Who had a fun NYE?!

Mark and I had some friends over, we played some games, ate some food (I made my Smoky Black Bean Dip ❤️❤️❤️), and brought in the new year with lots of happiness and cheer.

And wine. Always wine. ?

So naturally this morning was a “let’s rebound after the indulgent holidays” kind of morning. And I resorted to my old whole food standby: smoothies.

Liquid nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and protein whirled together to create a dreamy, creamy nutritional powerhouse? I’ll take it. I’ll take it every dang day.

I figured a little smoothie roundup could be helpful to everyone this time of year, so I took it upon myself to scour the interwebs in search for the yummiest, healthiest, vegan-est smoothies around! Yum yum yummm! Drink ’em for breakfast, slurp them as a snack, or savor them as dessert, these healthy vegan smoothie recipes are sure to make your new year a little bit sweeter. ?
