Over the past few months, I’ve been trying to curb my sugar addiction. The first step was to cut out any white refined sugar in my diet. I switched to more natural sugars like maple syrup and coconut sugar for awhile, but I’ve noticed that as I was still making baked treats and granola with these […]

It’s only a few days until Thanksgiving, but today I want to talk Mexican food. More specifically, I want to talk enchiladas. I set out to recreate this childhood favorite with a gluten-free, vegan spin and a hint of the fall season. Enter these Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Enchiladas. They are spicy, delicious and packed with pumpkin flavor. They are also […]

Have you tried making your own juice? I’ve shared a number of juice recipes before, but today I wanted to talk about the elephant in the juicing room- that poor, sad, fiberous pulp that is usually shoved down the garbage disposal. Leftover juice pulp contains flavor, phytochemicals, and fiber. You may be wondering what the purpose […]

It’s almost Halloween which means it’s almost time for costumes, candy, and scary movies. I’ll pass on the scary movies but count me in for the costumes and (plant-based, date-sweetened) candy!

Whether you’re packing lunch for work, school, or a long day of shopping, quinoa is one of your best bets. Sometimes thought of as a grain, quinoa is actually a complete-protein seed.

Continuing strawberry week, today I have a seemingly decadent Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie. It only seems decadent though; it’s actually gluten-free, vegan, and you’ll feel good after drinking it. A completely sinful-looking healthy summer treat that is packed with good-for-you ingredients? What’s better than that? The Coconut Whipped Cream and Shortbread Cookie toppings are completely optional, but […]

 Summer is a great time of year- beautiful weather, brightly colored clothing, and tasty, affordable produce.  One of my favorite veggies in late summer are fresh tomatoes, highlighted in today’s easy tomato soup recipe. You can make this vegan soup with fresh tomatoes or, if none are available, you can use canned. The Vegan Parmesan Cheese is something […]

Spicy Peanut Salad

Are you a hot sauce lover? I used to be intimated by the stuff, but I’ve found that the more hot sauce I use, the less spicy it seems to be. This may be why I go through a bottle of Frank’s Red Hot every two weeks. Sriracha, Frank’s spicier, saucier cousin, is also a favorite (and apparently […]

It’s officially Winter Olympics season! I have always been a lover of the Olympics. They’re exciting, dramatic, and I find myself completely inspired by them. Inspired to get off my butt and move. Bring on the protein smoothie! If you too are inspired, use that inspiration as a fuel to fire up your workout! And, if you’d […]

Banana Nut Green Smoothie 1

Refreshing, delicious and satiating, green smoothies are pretty much what started me on my way to a plant-based lifestyle. If you haven’t dipped your toe into the smoothie pool, or you’re nervous about the color of this drink, you’re not alone. I was nervous when trying my first green smoothie but quickly after that, I fell in love with them. With […]
