I’d like to start by saying I was once not a soup person I found them not filling and they are typically packed with sodium and animal products unless made from scratch. That being said, for years I didn’t get into soups.    However, once I got my stride and realized just how...

                                    If there is one staple soup I’ve always loved, it’s Black Bean! My mom would make it and we would order it at a restaurant, so I have a deep love for this soup. For some people its a classic go to, for others I’ve found its typically something they’ve never even tried. (mind blown).    Like...

                    Hello & Happy Monday!!             Everyone is recovering post Thanksgiving weekend. So today is all about something quick, easy, and veggie packed! While I love a salad, soups are honestly one of my favorite concepts. They pack the illusion that they are involved, but they are just as easy as a salad and can be made in bulk to enjoy...

                      If you know me, you know I’m all about the soups for countless reasons. They pack nutrient, flavor, you can mimic heavy cream with cashews, and it’s a great way to salvage veggies that are about to kick the bucket. I try to gravitate away from any waste, so soups are my go to. This asparagus soup is one that I did last year and I couldn’t wait to...

                        If there is one recipe I’m excited about this year, it’s this vegan Creamy Roasted Brussels Sprout Soup! Believe it or not, there were next to no recipes for this concept online and I was shocked. Just about every gravitates towards the flavor of brussel sprouts, so why no soup?!   Well wait no longer, you can now whip brussels sprouts up into a...

                              Today is an amazing day, because we’re just a lil over a week into the new year and I’ve already crushed so many bucket list recipes I’ve been meaning to get to. One of them, was this staple vegan Lobster Bisque!   While many things can be replicated to be vegan, there are some things that are just a struggle. Seafood...

                      If you know me, you know I’m all about the soups! There is something about a good soup that’s comforting and bonus, they are SO EASY and can be packed with veggie goodness.

                          With the temperatures dropping, I’m all about the soup! Believe it or not, I once rarely craved soup. After years of never ordering it while dining out, I just lost my infatuation with soup altogether.     Why was I over soup?     They typically are made with chicken or beef brother, packed with heavy cream, with loads of additional...

                                  I wasn’t going to feature this recipe just yet as I whipped it up just over the weekend, but it came out SO GOOD. Spring is coming, but I love a good soup and sandwich any day of the week and I was just so taken by how it came out! Broccoli Cheddar Soup is one of those concepts that everyone gravitates towards. It’s...

                        I don’t know about you, but when it comes to all thing spinach and artichoke, I’m instantly sold. We’ve done the dip, pasta, and I knew we had to do a soup!   If you didn’t know, soup is and will always be my favorite meal to whip up. It’s so quick and easy to make one from scratch, you can tailor it to the season, pack on the...

                                        Due to the temperatures dropping lately I’ve been all about creating effortless soups. There are so many staples to cover and this one has been on my bucket list for a long time! Chicken noodle soup was timeless and everyone views it as a staple comfort food. Today you can easily throw in some tofu or...

                          If there is one soup I’m completely enamored with, it’s loaded potato soup! Typically if you’re dining out this soup is heavy on the cream and all the things you don’t want. While I’ve created a cleaner version, I was curious as to wether you could do a cauliflower version. If you think about it, you can make fab cauliflower...

                                    Super Bowl Sunday is over, so bring on the usual routine! While I’m craving warmer temps, I truly love soup season! Soups are one of the easiest concepts to throw together, you can make them as nutrient packed as you like, and you can stretch your veggies a long way!!   One veggie that’s always on my...

                        I have to admit, if there is something that pushes people to get in the kitchen and connect with their food, I’m all about it. Needless to say, I love the holidays and it’s the perf time to learn classic concepts that you can recreate throughout the year.    I personally love Thanksgiving recipes as the flavors encompass all my “go to’s”...

                              Hello & Happy Sunday!!                 Whether its winter or summer, I’m always craving soup!

                  Hello & Happy Monday!!           If there is one concept I’m all about, it’s soups! One of the main reasons I have an affinity for all things soup is their simplicity and the fact that there is so much room for creativity. You really can throw in endless veggies and spices enabling you to never get bored. Also, I love the creaminess that...

            Hello & Happy Friday!!           If there is one thing I love, it’s soup season! Soups are so easy to throw together and you can tailor them to any season. I once thought of soups as difficult and involved, but they are quite the opposite. It’s a handful of ingredients, you can pack on the veggies, and you honestly don’t even need heavy cream to make a fab...

                              Hello & Happy Tuesday!!                 Believe it or not, butternut squash soup was one of the very first recipes I ever explored while venturing into the culinary world. For the longest time I viewed soups as this intricate concept that was time consuming, but soups are the furthest thing from...

                                      While the pumpkin season is somewhat behind us, I won’t lie, I still crave pumpkin concepts on the regular. Some of my most favorite pumpkin recipes are actually not the sweet, but the savory.    Enter the classic Curried Pumpkin Soup!   For some reason, curry blends seamlessly with pumpkin and...

                        With the temperatures dropping, I’m all about the soup! Believe it or not, I once rarely craved soup. After years of never ordering it while dining out, I just lost my infatuation with soup altogether. They typically are made with chicken or beef brother, packed with heavy cream, with loads of additional salt etc. That being said, I just always avoided...

                            Believe it or not, I was never a huge soup person. Soups are ubiquitous for animal products whether it be broth or heavy cream and are laden with unnecessary excess salt. That being said, for a long time I never enjoyed soups while dining out. Once I started to delve into cooking years ago, I discovered my love for soup again because bottom line,...

                        If there is one soup that never gets old regardless of the season, it’s miso soup! At restaurants you’ll typically find it’s mostly broth, a few cubes of tofu, a few shiitake mushrooms, and a piece of seaweed lol. Basically minimal ingredients altogether. In addition you’ll find tons of sodium and even MSG, so needles to say, I love to...

                      If there is one cuisine I love, it’s Mexican style foods or anything with a little bit of heat!   I find that when you add one element of heat it enhances all of the flavors, almost like salt does. However, years ago, I ran from the sight of heat in any dish. This is proof that as you age your tastebuds evolve. In actuality they become less and less to by...

              In all my years of cooking, I have never been in love with poblanos more than I am today! Back in undergrad we had to replicate a salsa in our Food Science lab. We tested this store bought salsa based on the ingredients provided on the label and I believe we tested perhaps 7 different times. Needless to say, the recipe called for poblanos and I instantly fell in love.    There is something...

                            I don’t know about you, but I’m all about everything spinach and artichoke! Lately I’ve been on a mission to explore as many concepts to feature this classic combo as I find that it’s typically just used as a heavy dip.

I love the simplicity in the process, the fact that you can make them as veggie packed as you like and they are perfect for any season. Obviously a soup is more fitting for the colder months, but as long as the air conditioning is pumping,...

        If there is one veggie that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, it’s sweet potatoes! I always have them on hand to simply roast or throw into a brownie recipe and now, soup!    I had yet to explore a sweet potato soup and was intrigued by the concept. For years I steered clear of soups as I had the false impression that they were involved and daunting to make. However, soups are one of the easiest...

                            Hello & Happy Tuesday!!               Since the world is a lil chaotic right now. There are so many unknowns for what is to come in the next few months, so I find comfort in be productive with my time and packing on plants. It can be so easy to reach for ready made options, but this is a great time to actually...

                Hello & Happy Thursday!!         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 why I skip it on most occasions, but there is...

                            Hello & Happy Thursday!!               I’ve been on a mission in 2020 to check off as many bucket list recipes that I can.

                          Hello & Happy Wednesday!!             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 with their mild flavor and I just love them. If...

                            Hello & Happy Monday!!               The warmer temps are slowly creeping in (thank goodness), but in my opinion.. there is always time for soup and salad!   I find that soups are the perfect vehicle to pack on the veggies and they are just so quick and easy. There are so many staple soups, but there are...

                Hello & Happy Wednesday!!     For a long time I never pursued wonton type concepts. However, once I found a market that offered vegan wontons, I was off creating a variety of recipes. One of the few concepts I never did was a vegan wonton soup!   The texture becomes like that of pasta and they pack tons of flavor that permeate the soup. There is just something fun about...

                    When it comes to soups, there was a few years while plant based where I never had them. I thought they had to be too involved to make at home from scratch and if enjoyed while dining out they were laden with sodium and animal products. That being said, I always overlooked soups until about 2017. (all the soups I could have been enjoying lol)   Today I love soups and...

                                  Hello & Happy Thursday!!                 When it comes to cooking, my approach is to embrace seasonality and always incorporate color!

                                If there is one concept that is a must for the fall season, it’s Pumpkin Soup! Once upon a time I viewed soup as this intricate dish that I just couldn’t do. However, if you’re new to cooking or simply don’t have a lot of extra time on your hands, soups will be your new BFF!   Typically soups are laden...
