This Amazing Blueberry-Banana Smoothie Bowl is addictive, delicious and nutrient-dense. I start to crave this halfway through my workouts. It tastes so much better than it sounds like it tastes—I wanna make out with it. Smoothie vs Smoothie Bowl? A Smoothie Bowl isn’t simply a smoothie in a bowl. Mainly […]
Sure, you could buy vegan sour cream, but this Easy 3-ingredient Vegan Sour Cream comes with probiotic benefits. Also, it doesn’t have refined oil that you’ll sometimes find in the store-bought kinds, so it won’t leave you feeling weighed down. When you tell people you made this yourself, they might […]
These Cold Soba Noodle Bowls with Sriracha Tofu & No-Peanut Sauce are a refreshing, bold experience. The hearty soba noodles, the lingering spice, the fresh herbs, and the crunch from the veggies are a blissful combination. I’ve been a little bowl-crazy this summer and I’m loving it. Each bowl has […]
This is my Favorite Green Power Juice. It may take time with green juice before your taste buds adapt and you crave it. Be careful, you might become a freak—the kind of vampiric freak who thirsts for the rich, green nectar of things that grow in people’s gardens. Yep, your […]
Vegan Classic Pasta Salad is one of my favorite picnic/pot luck foods to eat in the summer. I’m from the midwest and I love how loose midwesterners are about salads. You know, potato salad, pistachio fluff salad (a.k.a. watergate salad), and all kinds of tasty, sometimes strange salads that don’t […]
Lux Oil-free Vegan Sriracha Mayo is scrumdiddlyumptious & easy to make. The secret to the lux-richness is using more cashews than I use in my Oil-Free Vegan Mayo. The use of extra cashews makes this more like an aioli and less like Miracle Whip. If you just want to make […]
Rich Creamy Vegan Ranch Dressing is delicious, oil-free and made with mostly pantry ingredients. When I went vegan back in 2016, discovering this vegan ranch made me so very happy. I dig ranch! I’m from the midwest—it’s practically a food group. I’m one of those dip my sweet potato fries […]
Marinated Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts are lemony & hearty. Made with only a few ingredients, these are fabulous to make-ahead because they marinate overnight. Marinades are fun & easy I love marinating things. I especially love overnight marinades. Put some stuff in a big Ziplock bag, toss it, and cook it […]
Roasted Broccoli with Vegan Garlic Parm is an easy side and a great addition to bowls. I often cover roasted veggies in this lively 5-Minute Garlic Hemp Seed Parm a.k.a. Garlic Shake. In this recipe the Vegan Garlic Parm is the Garlic Shake. I can’t even remember what life was […]
This Mint Cilantro Chutney (Hari Chutney) is bright & refreshing, and quick & easy. I love recipes when all you need to do is throw some stuff in the food processor to make something fresh and tasty. Enjoy this versatile chutney with Easy Vegan Potato & Pea Samosas from Whole […]
