Summer isn’t complete without a tart glass of lemonade to cool you down. But I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t trying to sneak in veggies every chance I get. You won’t even notice the kale flavor but your body will appreciate the nutrients.
Food Inspo: Vegan Mars Bars – Refined Sugar Free [link to recipe]
Refined sugar-free Mars bar with Almond Joy-like tendencies. A stellar recipe by Taline Gabriel of Hippie Lane for her Hippie Lane recipe app. Our favorite, by far.

Food Inspo: Spicy Indian chickpea + cauliflower tacos
Spicy Indian chick pea + cauliflower tacos served with cooling cabbage and cucumber mint sauce for a little Taco Tuesday. I don’t have an exact recipe but for the taco base I do know I roasted an entire small head of cauliflower separately on 425 until fork tender. Before throwing the cauliflower in the oven, […]
Cherry Lemonade – Refined Sugar-Free

Everything was made from nothing but fruit and nuts, and refined sugar-free. A touch of maple syrup in the chocolate sauce is as nefarious as it got and no animals were […]
Food Inspo: Stone Fruit Galettes

I followed the recipe on Food 52 for the crust but substituted Earth Balance vegan butter sticks, I used 2 sticks with 2 ½ cups of flour. Once the crust was prepared […]
Healthy Fudge Pops – Vegan
We’ve been hooked since my first batch of veganized fudge pops but I just don’t like the way refined sugar effects me and the thought of giving it to my son with any regularity, just doesn’t sit right. I want to indulge but not hate myself afterwards and I like having treats in the house […]
