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,…
Hello & Happy Saturday!! I don’t typically feature new recipes on a weekend, but this one was just too good to pass up! Since the first sign of fall I’ve been whipping up effortless pumpkin concepts…
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…
While I typically stick to fruits and veggies, I also love to have fun in the kitchen! One of my favorite things to do is to remake iconic childhood recipes to be more modern and vegan. It wasn’t until recently that I heard of the concept called “muddy buddies”. I remember seeing…
Hello & Happy Wednesday!! With fall around the corner I instantly started craving everything from butternut squash, to all things pumpkin and pecans. Yes, I’m that person, always excited about the new…

If there is one veggie that always surprises me, it’s cauliflower. It makes a fab sauce, pizza crust, fritter, rice, soup, and a gorgeous mash!! I feel as though it continue to surprise me and I’m always thinking of a new way to love cauliflower. Since becoming pregnant I’ve…

Hello & Happy Tuesday!! There are some foods we just organically gravitate towards. For myself, it’s artichokes! Whether it’s the interesting flavor, texture, or appearance, they’ve always been one of…
Truth: I made this recipe on a complete whim back in 2014 and it was so good!! Stuffed mushrooms are a staple for entertaining as they are so easy and pack so much flavor!! Another reason why I love this concept, my husband doesn’t like mushrooms, so I don’t have…
When it comes to cooking, my approach is to embrace seasonality and always incorporate color! Working with plants, it’s easy to derive vibrant colors, especially with soup!! Purple sweet potatoes are one of those veggies that have gotten more love over…
Christmas is almost here, so cue the effortless concepts that you can whip up in minutes!! When it comes to holidays or even dining out for that matter, I love apps! A taste of this here, a taste of that there, it’s just more of an experience for me with that approach. That being said,…
I was on the move to whip up a Christmas cookie for National Cookie Day and realized I was out of my vegan white chocolate lol. While I love working with dark chocolate, vegan white chocolate is fun to work with and you can easily find it on Amazon….
Weekends are for easy eats, and these bake Cinnamon Apple Chips are the perf fit for the fall season! Back in the late 90’s apple chips were a big thing. You could find them at markets nationwide and people thought they were making a healthy choice being that…
As I’ve gotten older, I’m all about the savory carbs. I love to create sweet concepts, but I feel more satisfied with savory dishes, and I love mashed potatoes! Potatoes get a bad wrap, but they actually pack more potassium than a banana and portion size is key!…
