Healthy Creamy Spinach Dip

While this isn’t an original recipe, it’s a recipe that I think is delicious and healthy enough I just had to share it with you guys! Every Wednesday I volunteer at my school’s Student Nutrition Club table at a local farmer’s market, and it’s always a lot more fun and interactive with market-goers when we…

Heart Healthy Meatballs

This morning I had an interview for a scholarship opportunity that I’m pretty excited about. As I was sitting there, nervously trying to keep it cool while I tried to see if I was sweating through my make up, one of the scholarship committee members was perusing my resume and saw my information about my…

giving thanks.

I have a confession to make: I didn’t start my Thanksgiving out very thankful. If you’re close to me, I can guarantee that over the past few days you’ve heard complaints on the fact that I had to work yesterday and this morning, Thanksgiving morning. As the holiday grew closer, more and more friends and…

A Little Fun for Your Thursday

Because life’s too busy to post recipes, here are a couple updates! 1. Remember that Dinner @ 6 Contest from Foodbuzz and American Express? I won with my Mexican Bread! yeehaw! 2. Remember this Blueberry Egg White French Toast ? Well, it just so happens to be part of a slideshow called, "The Best Recipes…

Sweet Potato Soup

The weather has turned deliciously cool around here again,which, as I’m sure you can guess, is an obvious reason why the crock pot belongs out on my counter. I’ve made quite a variety of crock pot recipes, from Chicken Noodle Soup, to a Simple Lentil Soup, to a hearty Lentil Chili. The other day I…

Tangerine Limeade

Recently I was offered the opportunity to review a Tervis Tumbler from the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. I jumped at the opportunity, because I actually grew up with these cups and remembered how amazing they are! I grew up in Sarasota, Florida, and Tervis Tumblers were (and still are!) manufactured in North Venice, Florida, very close…

This Just In

Hey peeps! (Oh yes, pulling out the "peeps".) Nothing too special going on around here, just the same old, same old of school, tests, work, volunteering, and always working hard, hard, hard! No complaints though, I really love being busy, I love what I’m learning and I love the life I’m creating for myself! I…

Autumn Massaged Kale Salad

This is one of those recipes that I pushed back all other recipes waiting to be blogged about to share this instead. Yes, raw kale IS that good! I recently started volunteering at a farmer’s market here in Jacksonville, and not only is it a great opportunity to get more practice with community nutrition outreach…

Lentil Chili

Last week’s meal plan featured a new crock pot recipe (apparently crock pot recipes are becoming the underlying theme here at Sound Eats). See, we’re big fans of chili in this house, and all kinds of chili at that. Really, all you need is a pound of ground meat, a couple cans of kidney beans,…

Vegan Frozen Strawberry Dessert

Hello, friends! Thought I’d stop by with a quick little snack I just whipped up. Not only is this little dessert/ snack vegan, which means it’s egg-free and dairy-free, it’s also raw and soy-free. Let me introduce you to my new favorite snack. By now, if you’re a blogger or have been reading healthy living…
