Grab-n-Go Vegan Alternatives
When I first went Vegan, I had a strong aversion to vegan cheese and meat alternatives. I was already a bit of a picky eater with texture issues and I couldn’t get near the majority of vegan convenience items. I was more than happy to continue on as a Vegan without the the convenient plant-based […]
Easy Vegan Key Lime Mini Pies
As an avid chocolate lover, I was surprised to learn that Key Lime pie quickly became my new favorite dessert after the first bite.

Quinoa Stuffed Roasted Beets
This is one of those recipes that happened when I was just winging it in the kitchen with no intention of making a recipe. I wrote the following in response to requests for the actual recipe after posting the picture so it’s more of the overall gist than a die-hard recipe. But it’s not complicated, […]

PB & J Smoothie
There’s something about the classic combo of peanut butter and jelly that we just don’t seem to ever outgrow. This is a slightly more evolved version from the white bread with the crusts cut off mess that I grew up on. But the same childlike happiness still applies. This is also our go-to flavor combo […]
