Food

Meghan's favorite foods, recipes, meals, snacks and more! I show you which healthy food I love, why I love them, and how I make them!

  • Pie Love You Long Time

    Food is my love language. Today I’m singing songs of Paleo Apple Hand Pies. If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to eat an entire pie, this is your shining moment of pie-dom. These palm-sized pies are mini in size, big in flavor and made both vegan and gluten-free. Yes, dreams do come true. Why wait until Thanksgiving? Get your pie on below!

  • Holy Cannoli Hack

    This Norwegian just made PUMPKIN CANNOLI that would make any Italian mother proud. And the real showstopper is the dairy-free pumpkin ricotta made from creamy cashews soaked overnight and blended with almond milk, maple syrup and a touch of vanilla and pumpkin puree. Top with some carob chips and you wouldn’t know there isn’t an ounce of Italian in me. Check out the dEATs for this cannoli hack that uses pre-made pie crust to speed up the process. 

  • Fall-ing for Fall Foods & Festivities

    My favorite color is fall. If that’s cheating, then lock me away in a forest filled with leaves of every color and a year’s supply of squash, apples and pumpkin everything. As much as I love summer, there’s nothing like crispy, cool fall weather to get you in the mood for all the comfort foods. While the leaves haven’t hit their peak yet in Chicago, this squash is definitely picking up the slack with vibrant hues of greens, oranges and heaven-sent gold. Whether a special occasion or just a dinner in, this recipe isn’t nearly as complicated it looks and is sure to impress! Get toasty with this delightful Quinoa, Kale & Apple Stuffed Squash recipe below and get the lowdown on all the produce that fall has to offer.

  • Is it even football season without chili?

    I mean, really – is it even football season without chili? Negativo. No matter the temp, chili is the quintessential food of Monday Night Football. And we all know football is about the food, right? At least that’s how I roll. The best part? It’s uber customizable. My version is veggie forward with zucchini, summer squash and corn. The beans and ground turkey play second fiddle and can be swapped out to meet your dietary needs whether a veg head or not. I’ve perfected this version over multiple iterations, so hope you enjoy this quick and easy Veggified (Turkey Optional) Chili! Get the dEATs below.
