Love is always in season! Originally conceptualized for Valentine’s Day, these little raspberry jam hearts are perfect for any time of year! Slightly crunchy with just the right amount of sweet, the only special tools you need for these are two heart shaped cookie cutters that fit inside one another. […]
A meal that is whole foods and plant-based is generally somewhat simple, meaning that on the up side, it’s uually pretty easy to make. The downside is that sometimes these concepts are SO easy that we fool ourselves into thinking they’re common sense and thus never try them (I so […]

Getting gluten-free right doesn’t have to be a pain. There are a few hacks to keep in mind, and this recipe takes advantage of at least one. These passed the “it doesn’t taste gluten-free!” test, and they all got eaten quickly last time I took them to an event–so I’m […]

I am so excited to finally share this one with you guys! This vegan matcha green tea white chocolate cream pie was the very first pie to get 100% devoured when we did pie night a while back. Not only is it super delicious, it’s pretty easy to make as […]
We have all heard that we need to eat more greens…why not drink them? Make a delicious green smoothie and you can put away large amounts of superfood green leafy vegetables without really having to think about it. Spinach is high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin K, iron, potassium, magnesium, […]
This is a lovely little twist on peanut butter pie: Almond cookie cream pie! It uses a bunch of almonds, in many forms, and the resulting flavor is a unique crowd pleaser, because it’s: creamy, no-bake, richly delicious, unique, and totally vegan! The almond butter I used for this was […]
This is hands down the BEST guacamole ever. Every time I bring this to a party, the entire thing disappears…and quickly! Someone inevitably asks for the recipe by the end of the night. The recipe is fairly simple. The key to getting this right, though, is getting the best ingredients, […]
