Out of all the amazing veggies at the market, the one I consume the least is actually.. corn. Corn gets a bad rap at its one of the largest produced GMO crops and is lacking in nutrients compared to other veggies being mostly comprised natural sugar. As a result, perhaps that’s…
Hello & Happy Thursday!! I’ve been on a mission in 2020 to check off as many bucket list recipes that I can. Over the years there has been a proliferation of vegan recipes, but…
In keeping with the trend of effortless eats on EDS, I’m also running through my recipes to ensure I have all the staples, and a solid mac and cheese was missing!! My approach to cooking is to always have fun with food so I think more outside the box….
The new year brings new recipes and healthier concepts! Since the beginning of time, carbs have gotten a bad rap. However, there’s a big difference between good carbs (complex) and bad carbs (refined) and at the end of the day, it’s all about portions. One of my favorite carb…
Let’s talk beets! Even as a foodie today, once upon a time, I wasn’t a fan of beets. The neutral flavor, the texture, you name it, I wasn’t about it. However, today, I love the vibrancy they add to any dish along…
If there is one foodie obsession I have, it’s shiitake bacon! I discovered it back in 2014 and I’ve evolved to always have them on hand to create and throw in a recipe. In more recent times there has been a boom of…
Hello & Happy Thursday!! For many years, I steered clear of pasta. We all know that pasta carries the stigma of being laden with carbs, which it is, but at the end of the day it’s the perfect medium…
Hello & Happy Thursday!! Thanksgiving may be over, but it’s still all about the brussels! Believe it or not, I didn’t get heavy into brussel sprouts until 2009. I had been a vegan, raw vegan, and never had tried them, gasps. For years I always roasted them with rosemary,…
Butternut squash is one of those fall veggies that never gets old. It’s sad to think of all the years that I never gave it the time of day until I was in my early 20’s. As a child my mom loved yellow squash and of course it wasn’t something I had a…
Hello & Happy Thursday!! If there is one thing I realized with vegan cuisine, is that you can make anything taste fab, if you have a good sauce! Vegan food naturally is like a blank canvas that is waiting…
Long before my vegan days, I ate traditional wings here and there. (gasps) I was never into anything with heat, so I gravitated more towards all the fun flavors, and Thai was one of my go to’s! I personally love Thai flavors and will make my staple Pad Thai…
Hello & Happy Tuesday!! For many of us, the Fourth of July is an excuse to travel, attend a party, but leave the cooking to someone else. Since I cook full time and it’s just…
It’s a short week post Memorial Day weekend, so I’ve been whipping up quick and easy timeless recipes that are perf for any season!! One concept that never fails to disappoint is pasta!! I once ran from pasta during the big low carb movement. Today, my views on pasta have completely…
Hello & Happy Tuesday!! When it comes to my vices, I’m all about the carbs! There are very few things that compare to a fresh slice of pizza….
Truth, I can’t remember the last time I had a bake potato! Baked potato soup, yes. Mashed potatoes, yes. A baked potato? It’s been ages!! If you love broccoli cheddar soup, I have to imagine this is where the concept began, with the staple Broccoli Cheddar Baked Potato! While I do…
