Are you guys ready for something spicy?
Something healthy and savory and delicious?
Good, I have just the thing.
Let’s make Jalapeño Hummus, yo!

This hummus* is inspired by all things yellow and green. Also, by my love of spicy food and Mexican-inspired flavors (like avocado, cilantro, cumin, and lime).

My dad raised me right on jalapeños and black pepper blanketing everything. Literally, a blanket of pepper.

Thankfully, I’ve also persuaded John to jump on the spice train.

It’s about that time of year for something fresh, summery, and light to take with you on the go.

I have just the thing. Shall we?

I’ve had straight-up cantaloupe (good).
I’ve had tomato, cucumber, onion salad (also good).
But I’ve never had the two combined – until now.

I’m so happy I tried this incredibly refreshing combination. It screams warm weather and utilizes two simple dressings that come together in no time at all.

Did you make those Saucy Moroccan-Spiced Lentils yet? I hope so, because I have the perfect application for them. Let’s do this!

What are Moroccan Spices?

Some of the spices common in Moroccan cuisine are cinnamon, cumin, ginger, paprika, saffron, and turmeric. A blend called Ras El Hanout is also commonly used in Moroccan cooking. It includes spices such as anise, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, turmeric, and peppers. (source)

This recipe is inspired by a snack we recently shared on Instagram that you were apparently very into. And because we’ve had it many times since, we figured it was due time to share the details.

Let’s make (healthier) banana splits!

This 7-ingredient, 5-minute recipe is raw (when you use raw nut butter), insanely versatile, and super delicious.

It all starts with ripe bananas scored down the middle to prepare for all the delicious toppings.
