Can we still call them fries if they aren’t fried? Or are they french baked potatoes? That sounds like something totally different…. Anyway, these are super simple and very tasty, no matter what you want to call them. This seriously couldn’t be more simple. We really just cut some potatoes, arranged them carefully so they don’t touch on parchment paper, and baked them in the oven. They could…
Falafel is one of my favorites! I’ve been on a mission this year to come up with a healthy version, and I think I’ve finally got it! This is one of our own recipes that I developed after a lot of trial and error. I actually do this a lot, but many of them don’t make it to the blog. This one hit the mark, so here it is! My…
These stuffed peppers are easy to prepare, and so tasty! I made them for Christmas Eve dinner this year and everyone loved them! I prepared a double batch, and froze half after cooking to save for the following week. We love having delicious leftovers in the freezer for a quick dinner, and our friends who came to dinner are still raving about them! 🙂 The filling calls for cooked brown rice. Cooking the rice takes more…
Don’t get left out this holiday season, make yourself a truly healthy pumpkin pie and share it with your friends and family. I think you all are going to love it!! First, I have to tell you that I love pumpkin pie. It’s delicious! I like that it’s a little spicy, not too sweet, and has a nice firm texture. However, since I don’t consider traditional pumpkin pie a healthy food,…
This open face jackfruit BBQ sandwich was SO delicious!! What is Jackfruit? It’s a fruit. Seriously, look it up. When it’s fully ripe it’s sweet, and I’ve heard it somewhat resembles pineapple. When it’s young, or not yet fully ripe, it’s not as sweet, has a mild flavor, and great texture that makes it a really good substitute for beans, lentils, tofu, and even meat in many dishes. It works perfectly in…
You need to see this movie. It’s a good combination of story, information, facts, inspiration, and real world examples to help you get motivated to start the transition to a plant based diet. Many people who have made the transformation have credited Forks Over Knives with bing the movie that motivated them to make the switch. Watch it! Watch it more than once, watch it weekly if you have to….
Food, Inc. is an eye opening film about the modern food industry. I consider it a must see. In order to understand the big picture, we need to understand how we got to where we are today, and the cost that we are paying for both the convenience and cheaply priced food that most people demand today. These things do not come without a price. We are unfortunately paying for them with…
Fed Up is another film about the current state of health as it relates to our modern food system. The big villain in this one is sugar, and it’s scary. It turns out that sugar is everywhere! Childhood obesity is a big focus of this film, and I think that’s a very important thing to think about. As adults, and especially as parents, we need to share responsibility for the choices…
Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is a story of one mans journey to get healthy by juicing his way around the United States. Along the way he takes the time to explain what he is doing to people he meets, and motivates several others to make a switch for themselves. It’s an interesting and inspiring film. Being able to see the change take place in Joe over time is impressive, and…
