Frosted Chocolate shortbread sugar cookies for the Christmas party. Adapted from the recipe in the December 2015 issue of @vegnews. I used a little beet juice to dye the pink frosting and a touch of matcha powder for the pale green with a drop or two of mint extract.
Acai bowls are easy to put together and instantly transport you to tropical lands. You can usually find acai packets in the freezer section of your natural markets, just take out a packet, blend it with a frozen banana to sweet, and maybe a splash of liquid to move it along. You can mix in […]
I was inspired myself by the gorgeous site of Milking Almonds and I’m so glad I was because these are my new favorite cookies. I use Dandies marshmallows which are vegan and Equal Exchange vegan chocolate chips. Equal Exchange is certified fair-trade and slave-labor free. It’s important that we reject cruelty wherever it may rear […]
It’s that time of year when school is about to be back in session and I’ve portable snacks on the brain. Finding balanced snacks for kids is one of my biggest challenges. Most of the “healthy” snacks still contain refined sugar, even the homemade ones, and we get so much sugar outside of the house, I […]
I’m not sure if this qualifies as food inspo or a recipe because there isn’t much of recipe to begin with. But when you’re a (now vegan) BBQ girl such as myself, you don’t do without, you innovate!

I love portion controlled snacks made from whole foods that are easy to pop into a lunch box – or my mouth. These snack bites are made from beans and […]

Another great recipe coming from the Oh She Glows, it’s called the Crowd Pleasing Tex-Mex casserole for a reason!
File this under things I never thought I’d say before I was vegan: but you don’t know what you’re missing until you’ve had a carrot dog. Marinated and grilled carrots mimic the taste and texture without the mystery meat and cancer causing ingredients of regular hot dogs. There are many commercially made vegan-friendly hot dogs on […]
It all started early in the morning, frustrated at the state of my refrigerator, I began organizing to make sense of all the unfinished meals and produce coming to their final days. It wasn’t until I made my way to the back of the top shelf that I found a forgotten bowl of soaking almonds […]
