This post was created in partnership with ALDI. All opinions are our own. It’s officially SUMMER! I can’t even tell you how excited we are about summer entertaining over here. The smell of the grill, a glass of frozen rosé, and the sound of your neighbor mowing his lawn (right?). Alex and I love to create vegetarian grill recipes to prove that grilling is just as delicious without the meat....

Keen for more healthy pumpkin recipes? Try my healthy pumpkin bread, healthy pumpkin pancakes, healthy pumpkin cookies, and healthy pumpkin pie next. Come fall, my healthy pumpkin muffin recipe becomes an almost weekly staple in my household. It’s the perfect use of pumpkin puree, uses wholesome ingredients, and one of the few muffins my family begs me to make weekly. Why I love this recipe No wheat flour. Traditional muffins use white flour or bread flour, but using oat flour adds extra fiber, protein, and whole grains to the recipe (source)....

Not only are these kid approved, they’re perfect for adult snacking too....

Carrot season is pretty much every day over here, and Alex and I love this tasty honey glazed carrots recipe when we’re craving a glam spin on a side dish. Our everyday carrot side is these perfect sautéed carrots, but what’s better than a butter and honey glaze? This recipe comes together in just 15 minutes, and the flavor is out of this world: sweet, savory, and salty, with fruity and floral notes from the honey....

We’re all about cozy tea lattes, and here’s a favorite refreshingly cool variation: the Iced Chai Latte! The homemade version of this coffeeshop special is sweetly spiced and irresistibly creamy. In fact, this one tastes much better than the Starbucks version that’s so popular. This one is sweetened with maple syrup and made with our custom chai spices blend. Make up a big batch of the concentrate and drink off of it all week!...

The careful balance of browned sausage, veggies, and beans creates a range of textures, and the savory tomato-beef broth adds layers of flavor....

Looking for healthy lunch ideas? Here’s a salad that’s beautifully fresh and saves well for meals throughout the week: kale quinoa salad! Alex and I typically eat pretty boring for lunch, but we’ve been trying to up our game. And we’re thrilled to add this one to our repertoire. It’s full of healthy ingredients: quinoa, kale, peppers, carrots: and then covered in a delicious, ultra tangy dressing! It’s so flavorful and keeps that flavor 3 to 4 days in the fridge....

Over the last two years, I posted four vegetarian pickles on the blog –raw mango pickle , mango and carrot pickle, lemon pickle, lemon curry. So, this time I thought I’ll share with you a Kerala fish pickle recipe that is spicy and full of flavor. The preparation method is very similar to that of other pickles. The important thing to remember is to choose firm flesh fish so the pieces won’t fall apart when fried....

When it comes to cozy and comforting keto dinners, my favorite recipes to make are chicken soup, taco casserole, and this keto beef stew. Whenever the weather cools down and the sun sets earlier, my body craves all the comfort foods (like my favorite meatloaf) and thinks it is going into hibernation. A beef stew is the epitome of healthy comfort food. Now, a traditional beef stew would typically use plenty of potatoes but as they aren’t keto friendly, we use a fabulous substitute- Jicama!...

Keto Bread Crumbs If you have a sneaky look in my pantry, you’ll see a bunch of homemade keto staple ingredients. You’ll find some almond flour, a jar of condensed milk, and some homemade keto bread crumbs. How do you make fried protein, veggies, or appetizers taste even better? Coat them in bread crumbs before frying! Let’s use onions as an example. Fried onions? Delicious. Crumbed fried onions? Even better....

Want more chocolatey keto recipes? Try my keto pudding, keto flourless chocolate cake, or keto cups next. I’m a sucker for the simple things in life, and for me, nothing is more gratifying than chocolate-covered strawberries. Except, perhaps, the same dessert made with little to no carbs. That’s where my recipe comes in. Using the magical ingredient that is keto chocolate, we’re able to recreate those refreshingly sweet, rich flavors–just without all the added sugar....

Love keto desserts? Try keto peanut butter cookies, keto cheesecake, and low carb muffins next. While ice cream is traditionally high in sugar and carbs, there are plenty of keto-friendly ice creams at the grocery stores (hello, Halo top, Rebel, and Enlightened). Now, I refuse to spend over $10 for a keto pint of these ice creams when I can make my own keto ice cream recipe with just a few basic ingredients and a hand mixer!...

Need more creative keto dinner recipes? Try my keto egg roll in a bowl, keto ramen, and keto orange chicken. My family loves it when I make sushi at home, but when I’m watching my carbs, I have to be careful since sushi is, well, mostly rice and sugar. Thankfully, I don’t have to say goodbye to sushi nights entirely. With the magic of cauliflower rice, I can continue celebrating sushi nights at home....

Here’s an herbal, sweet tart cocktail that’s a new favorite around here: this Lavender Collins Cocktail! It’s a spin on the classic Tom Collins starring this fresh herb. And wow, is it full of flavor! It’s sweet tart, zing and bubbly, with a subtle floral finish to each sip. It’s got just the right essence of lavender that leaves you wanting more. Alex and I have been making a string of lavender drinks, and this one is at the top of the list....

When it comes to citrus drinks, here’s the thing: 7 Up doesn’t hold a candle to homemade Lemon Lime Soda! We try not to keep cans of soda in our house, but we’re all about craft, homemade sodas from scratch. This sparkling Lemon Lime Soda is incredible: the citrus pop from the fresh squeezed citrus is absolutely incredible. You’ll swear off the store-bought brands immediately. Ingredients in lemon lime soda Lemon lime soda is a category that includes canned soda like 7 Up, Sprite, and Sierra Mist, and even more intensely flavored drinks like Mountain Dew....

Smoothies are one of my favorite ways to refresh and rejuvenate in a healthier way on any day of the year. When every season brings you an exotic array of fruits and veggies, I just can’t resist the temptation to whip up vibrant drinks that’s natural and full of goodness. I think I make smoothies more often in summer than in any other season. I know, they’re just perfect for the hot weather....
