March’s Theme – It’s Income Tax Season, so our brains could use some easy arithmetic; as in seven-ingredient-or-less recipes. Show us the healthy, no-brainer dish you fix for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Think beyond smoothies or drinks, please.

February’s Theme – Cooks aren’t always pressed for time in the mornings – they just need new ideas. Think mug cakes, smoothie bowls, breakfast cookies and more. Show us the healthy way you wake up your breakfast – or wake up just for breakfast! (Recipe ReDux)

O, French toast. It’s one of those things I don’t make very often, but when I do, it’s always a pleasant gift. However, I feel like French toast is always the messiest and most “difficult” of the 3 greats (i.e. pancakes, waffles, and French toast). I’m not sure why, but I just do. For pancakes and waffles you just have to whip up some flour and liquid in a bowl. For French toast you have to make a great vegan liquid mixture, soak some stellar gluten-free bread and then…”toast”. I don’t know, maybe I’m just biased for pancakes!Read More

Call me condiment girl! From my undieing love for ketchup, infatuation with bbq sauce, and must-have mustard stock, I love them all! They make food fun, enough said! Any easy way to flavor up food, not only am I condiment girl, but also the spice queen, it’s my life’s mission to try to to create with them all. Since this month’s Recipe ReDux theme was all about cooking with new interesting ingredients, I thought it was fitting to bring my first recipe using harissa to the blog!

I hope you like to bake, or at least, my recipes are making you want to at least try to like it! I’ve always said on this blog, from the very beginning, that I was not a baker, but a cook. I scoffed at baking and the lack of creativity and freewill it allowed. But that is just silly and I apologize to mocking the art of baking. Baking is much more a black and white science, but it is one that I am growing to love o so much. You might have realized this after the influx of baked goods showing up here on Strength and Sunshine, and I hope you’re prepared for a lot more! This is the season of baking and I feel it’s my duty to uphold that (even though I want to post recipes of than baked goods).Read More
