A meal that is whole foods and plant-based is generally somewhat simple, meaning that on the up side, it’s usually 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 […]
In many parts of China, various types of noodles are part of the local culture. In this dish, as in many noodle dishes, we’re actually combining elements from a few different parts of the country. The concept of eating a noodle dish with some kind of mix of savory sauces […]
No-bake cookies are fun and rewarding because they’re so easy! The dough is edible (and who doesn’t like eating cookie dough?), there’s no waiting for baking, and of course no oven preheating or accidental finger burning from touching hot pans 😛 These little guys are nut-free, using sunflower butter as […]
I have been craving this black bean soup–an excellent source of iron–ever since the first time I made it, and what adds a sour/tangy flavor to this is–instead of the expected limes–hearts of palm in their broth! Preserved hearts of palm typically come packed in a slightly sour citric acid […]
What is the black superfood in this stir fry? It’s surprisingly cheap and easy to find, and it’s called wood ear mushroom. Wood ear mushroom (aka wood ear fungus) has iron, vitamin B2, fiber, and collagen–yes, the same collagen that keeps your skin looking young and elastic. Naturally sourced collagen […]
Turmeric is one of my favorite superfoods, with studies suggesting anti-inflammatory properties and lower risk of heart disease, loads of antioxidants, and much more. We typically think of turmeric as something that shows up in curry dishes–but that doesn’t have to be the case. Turmeric works wonderfully in this unique […]
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, […]
What’s better than chocolate chip cookies? A super giant chocolate chip cookie, that’s what! Giant cookies are the new cake: You can decorate them with icing, shape them into a large shape of some sort, cut them into pieces, and more. Bonus: Giant chocolate chip cookies are loaded with chocolate […]
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, […]
This was a request: “Make something blueberry”. Requests from friends are great because they not only give me an idea what people like but gives me a reason to create something I might not have normally thought of. This delicious blueberry cheesecake is not only dairy-free/vegan but happens to be […]
