Especially with summer just around the corner, sometimes, that barbecue flavor just CALLS…but lucky for us, there are healthier and kinder alternatives to chicken…and no, I’m not even talking about fake meat here (although you’re welcome to go that route!) I’m talking about the type of alternative that’s not only […]

My soy-free friends have often complained that having chocolate is a near impossibility, because in just about every type of chocolate, there’s some sort of soy, even if just soy lecithin. Having made chocolate myself and knowing it’s totally possible to make without soy, this was sort of a revelation […]
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 […]
“So wait–you’re telling me it’s a peanut butter cookie, but it’s peanut free?” Haha, yes. And nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan. And, beyond that, this recipe doesn’t rely on any esoteric peanut butter “substitutes”. Instead, we recreate the flavors of peanut butter using two seed butters. There are a lot […]
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 […]

Packed with heart-healthy omega-3s and featuring delicious creamy cashews, bold Kalamata olives, and fresh basil, this is sure to bring a new dimension to your dinner. If you’ve never made raw pizza before, you should note that […]
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, […]
These matcha shortbreads were a purposeful endeavor to create some cookies (of this exact flavor) that are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free. I was pretty excited at first, starting with my regular recipe of matcha shortbreads (not published…yet, anyway!) and deciding how it might make sense to de-allergy-fy it. Four […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
