I wasn’t sure exactly what to call this recipe, since although it’s been a perennial favorite for the last three months around here, I don’t have a title for it worthy of the powerful taste this dish (quite literally) brings to the table. It’s the result of initially endeavored to […]

When making oil-free dishes, it’s not as simple as omitting the oil: Instead, a new flavor has to be created. In this case, the dish inherits a savory flavor from the combination of tomatoes and tahini, and a multidimensional feel from the addition of basil and coconut aminos. The result […]
I have a confession…I have a mega sweet tooth. BUT, I don’t really eat a lot of sweets. I do bake a lot of sweets, usually for events, friends, and family, but the type of sweets I generally indulge are those which are made of fruit…like this one! “What? I came here […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Whole -food plant-based, oil-free, packed with 3 superfoods, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low fat, refined sugar free…these balls have it all! And to top that off, they also look pretty cool, if we do say so ourselves 😀 These are amazing in the morning when you’re running late and need something […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
