This is an excellent getting started video! It will help you understand more about what a plant based whole food diet is, and how it can improve your health and your life. This is the video that really helped my kids to want to eat a more exclusively plant based whole food diet. Thank you for that Rip!!
Lentil Dahl Soup
This dish is soooo easy and so delish it is a staple in our house these days. 50% of our kids like it! Okay, that is only one kid, but that is still really good! This started as my sister-in-law’s friend’s recipe, but we have modified it qua bit: We usually eat it over steamed or raw baby greens. Yum!

Fruit Pops!
Fruit pops for the last day of school. If you have a hard time getting your kid to eat fruit, put it on a stick! They love it!!
Best. Birthday cake. Ever.
I’ll be honest with you, I was a little nervous when Evan told me he wanted to have a healthy birthday cake at his birthday party this year. I was very proud of him for making that choice, but yes, nervous. We have made kids cry before with our healthy desserts. Multiple kids cry. Luckily they were part of our immediate family so they got over it quickly. But now…
Spinach banana whip
Posting this to hopefully inspire those who want to eat more healthfully and want their kids to also. My kids begged me to make them this for dessert. Spinach banana whip with a dollop of all-natural peanut butter. They love it! If you stop eating junk, you will no longer crave it!!

Apple Pizza
Today I put apples on everything! They are so sweet they liven up everything. Tonight we made veggie pizza with apples and butternut squash soup with kale and apples. Yum!
Stuffed peppers
Veggie stuffed peppers that even my meat eating Dad gave a thumbs up to! Peppers stuffed with stewed tomatoes, onions, brown rice, baby bok choy and broccoli. Delish!
Super Food Pesto!
This pesto recipe was so good and made from healthy ingredients that it is forcing me out of my blog retirement. I usually get so much basil from my weekly farm share I don’t know what to do with it. The recipe was so easy! We had it for dinner one night over pasta and veggies and then ate it as a dip with baby carrots. We all had it…
No Guilt Ice Cream!
Take a look at the “ice cream” Anthony made last week. Okay, it’s not really ice cream, but it is sooo good! We used to eat a lot of Ben and Jerry’s in my house, but this stuff is sooo much better for you and won’t add on the extra pounds. It really satisfies my after dinner sweet craving and it is made of just fruit! To make the ice…
