I’ve always been a sweets-for-breakfast person, which I blame being raised on chocolate cake and brownies for breakfast or the sugariest cereals that only passed for cereal based on their location in the grocery store. I recall, very clearly, going through an ice cream cone for breakfast phase in 5th grade. I only remember time […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the food blogging world, I’m sure you’re familiar with Plant Philosophy (formerly known as Plant Strong Vegan). I’ve always been drawn to Margaret’s recipes as I felt she spoke my food language. Often relying on whole foods and natural ingredients to sweeten and color her approachable creations, she was […]
Growing up in an Italian household pasta was a diet staple, always served with a slow simmered homemade sauce. I knew I was really in for a special treat when I saw Mom’s lasagna go into the oven. I wish I could say I carried on the tradition of a Sunday sauce that simmered on […]
I recently completed a somewhat accidental 10 day sugar-free stint. When I say sugar-free, I don’t just mean the white stuff, that is already a pretty rare occurrence in my life these days. I mean any sweetener of any kind aside from whole fruit. No maple syrup. No rice bran syrup. No coconut sugar or […]
No matter how trite or cliche it may be, Valentine’s Day comes around every year. Regardless of our current relationship status, it can give us that little nudge to celebrate the love in our lives just a little more than we do any other day of the year. We celebrated this year with a brunch […]
I explained how my love for key-lime anything began when I introduced my mini key lime pies. I would have some form of key lime pie at least once a day if I could. I can’t eat pie everyday though, that would be obscene! But whaat iiifff, that pie was in green smoothie form? LOOP […]
Seared Tofu Bánh mì sandwich, using more fresh food from @relayfoods – they carry my favorite brand of tofu from Twin Oaks – try it with the herbed flavor tofu for a flavor punch. This is my favorite sandwich to pack up for a picnic. Pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, mint, and a spicy sauce – […]
I was gifted a block of vegan Parmesan from Violife, all the way from Greece! A creamy risotto was just begging for it. I veganized this recipe by using vegetable broth, Earth Balance butter, vegan wine, and Violife, with some additional minor adjustments. The Violife melted divine, but you can use your favorite vegan shreds until […]
Quick and healthy breakfasts can be a challenge for me with the morning rush. My day no longer feels right if I don’t start it off with Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats because they require no cooking, can be prepared in under two minutes, and are ready to grab and go in the morning. I […]
There really isn’t much difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl other than the serving dish and a little less liquid. But something about eating a smoothie from a bowl makes it feel like more of a special treat. My favorite is a combination of frozen cherries, banana, a medjool date, coconut, and rice […]
