We love going to the Asian grocery store to pick out fruit. There are just so many types of fruit that we can only find there…and by now, you guys know I LOVE fruit! Enter the dragon fruit smoothie: One of my obsessions at the moment is dragon fruit, or […]

We often buy salad dressings for the convenience factor, but if you are trying to avoid preservatives and cut down on your consumption of unhealthy fats, (most vegetables oils,) making your own dressing is the way to go. It’s really easy, is fairly quick to make, and it stores for […]
It’s pumpkin season! What better way to celebrate than by baking up a delicious vegan and gluten-free pumpkin chai pie? Pumpkin chai pie is even better than regular pumpkin pie and features a multidimensional, more complex flavor profile, thanks to the addition of chai tea spices in place of the […]
Dates are amazing. They’re a great whole foods replacement for sugar in many whole food recipes, specifically dessert recipes. I have (had) a sizable box of dates and often make something similar to this when I do…so I’m finally sharing one of these date ball recipes with you! These are […]
Maybe you’re here for a great vegan mashed potatoes recipe. Or, maybe the fact that our potatoes are naturally purple caught your eye. Either way, this dish is not only way cooler to look at but also loads more nutritious than regular mashed potatoes! Purple sweet potatoes can be found […]
You know fall is coming…the air is getting a bit chillier, the colors are getting warmer and rosier everywhere you look, and classic treats like those involving salted caramel are everywhere… Well, we’ve got our own version of that! These bars are cute and delightful…but they’re so rich and delicious […]
Cauliflower pizza crust is unlike any other pizza crust you’ve ever had, but one bite and you’ll be hooked! It holds form when you pick up a slice of pizza–just like the traditional kind–yet this one is gluten-free, oil-free, without refined flour, comprised of whole foods, and higher in protein, […]
After a recent visit to Sun Cafe, I was inspired by a dish they make there called “sun nachos”. Sun nachos are completely raw vegan nachos made using raw jicama slices as chips, and the toppings range from nut-based sauces to veggies and guacamole. They’re delicious, and you can top […]
I’m a fan of fermented foods–kombucha, kimchi, pickles, etc. have been in man’s diet for thousands of years, and these days, scientists are starting to learn why those types of food are actually *really* helpful to the digestive system. Your digestive system, particularly your intestines, require certain “good bacteria” to […]
I have the unique advantage of getting to experience a lot of Chinese food and culture even though I’m not myself Chinese. Often, that leads to some really interesting flavors and experiences that I’m not sure I would have ever encountered otherwise. In the case of this particular dish, I’m […]
I have to be honest: I didn’t know carrot greens (carrot tops) could be eaten until I found myself with a bunch of farmers’ market rainbow carrots the other day and the thought occurred to me: “All these carrot greens must be good for SOMETHING…I can’t let them go to […]
Banana ice cream has got to be my single favorite thing to do with the seemingly millions of bananas I tend to acquire. For example, yesterday, I filled an entire reusable shopping bag with them since the grocery store was selling the “overripe” ones at half price. “Overripe” bananas are […]
