I haven’t ever had a chance to eat real moussaka given that I’ve been a vegetarian most of my life. However, my family members, who have had real moussaka and are generally skeptical of my meat free substitutions, loved this dish! This dish uses very little oil but is still very flavorful, and is also…

Mini Vegetable Goat Cheese Frittatas
Inspired by the Cutting Veg’s Mini Cauliflower Goat Cheese Frittatas, which I slightly revised for this recipe I thought I would try making this recipe since I had goat cheese, thyme and egg I wanted to use.

I wanted to make these with rice paper, but because my local grocery store didn’t have them (calling you out Publix), I decided to make these spring rolls lettuce wraps using…
Chocolate Dipped Frozen Banana Bites
The perfect snack and/or dessert to have in your freezer when you are craving something sweet! I’m not normally a huge fan of healthy substitutes for desserts, especially when it comes to ice cream.
