This uniquely delicious tofu salad is packed with iron, calcium, and protein while delivering a flavorful departure from the norm. Featuring mint leaves and orange oil, it’s got a flavor that’s vaguely reminiscent of Thai tofu spring rolls (but, totally different!) This was something I put together for a Thanksgiving […]

Growing up, my family always used to make sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving, and sometimes Christmas, too. When I went vegan many years ago, this was one of the first recipes I aimed to veganize. Now that I’m also somewhat of a health freak as well, I admittedly don’t make […]
These superfood energy balls (think no-bake healthy cookies!) have just a handful of ingredients, are quick and easy to make, and give us an excuse to eat more superfoods! Oil-free, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low-fat, refined sugar free, soy free…I think we got all the “frees” with this one 😀 I […]
An avocado contains much more potassium than an average banana. Most people go to bananas when they want their dose of potassium for the day, but avocados have been shown to contain much more, ounce per ounce. Comparing both fruits, the numbers blow you away: A single avocado has about […]
Roasted Brussels sprouts are one of our family’s favorite winter vegetables. They’re savory and satisfying while equally easy to prepare. We love finding the entire stalk of Brussels sprouts for sale at the grocery as the weather gets colder–the sprouts are fresher, and we know they’re in season! As a […]
One of the quickest things to make for dinner when there’s not a whole lot of time available to spend on it is stir fry. We make stir fry all the time and usually don’t write it down, or take pictures…but this is not always. Those of you who have tried […]

Coconut is one of our favorite flavors….obviously 😀 These soft and delicious vegan coconut cookies are packed with coconut–AND friendly to most of the allergies and food sensitivities out there. Vegan Coconut Cookies – What Else? They’re not only vegan but also gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, egg-free, and dairy-free! Coconut shreds, […]
Cravings! …We all get them, and when you get one, it is hard to ignore. What most people do not realize is that when we get cravings, although they may be for a certain food, they generally are about our body telling us to eat something we’re missing, as our […]
This savory and relatively quick single-dish dinner came out of random groceries I bought at Trader Joe’s one day. They have this lovely marinated Sriracha tofu, which was the main inspiration for the stir-fry. Sriracha tofu is essentially just extra firm tofu marinated in Sriracha–so you could totally make your […]
Whether you’re eating gluten or not, you’ve got to try carrot noodles! They’re just sweet enough, and prepared in this recipe, tastefully savory as well. This can be a creative side or even the focus of your whole meal. As a main dish, it can be topped with whatever you […]
