Meatlessballs, are another crowd pleaser that you can proudly serve to anyone! Especially to friends and family who are transitioning, or even those who don’t (yet!) eat a plant based diet. My family is used to getting together and celebrating over an italian feast, and for my Dad, that always included meatballs. He went fully plant based earlier this year though, and I wanted to make him a replacement to…
My new, latest obsession is pickled red onions. They are so easy to make and really add a lot of flavor to salads, tacos, avocado toast, sandwiches or whatever you put them on! I got the idea from my favorite local restaurant, The Lovin Oven. They add it as a garnish to their vegan burrito and my boys and I just love them! I decided since we love them so…
Salads are an important part of eating a healthy, whole food, plant based, diet. I eat at least one, and often two huge salads a day. For me, the key to enjoying so much salad, is to keep them flavorful and interesting. Making a new dressing does that in an instant, and add some fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds on top and you will end up with something that is…
This one is so simple! It’s been a quick go-to of ours for years, but we haven’t made them in a while. The boys had their cousins coming over tonight for a sleepover, and it worked out perfect! A big key in getting kids to eat healthy food is to have them be part of the process and decisions. We started tonight by asking the kids what kind of veggie…
My kids love going out for Indian food, but for some reason, never like my Indian inspired dishes at home. I finally have a winner! I realized I need to add potatoes (apparently, they love any dish with potatoes) and I need to blend my stewed tomotoes so there are no chunks. My kids are not picky eaters by any means and will usually anything, so when one tells me…
Dr. Fuhrman emailed out this recipe in his newsletter and I was really excited to try it! When the weather gets cold, I really enjoy really hot, comfort food and I think this recipe satisfies both while being totally plant based. His recipe can be found here. Enjoy! We loved this recipe and all four of us almost ate the entire thing for dinner one night! Lentil Shepherd’s pie…
As if Black Bean soup isn’t already good enough, I added Kale and Mushrooms to push it over the top!! I started with a Black Bean soup recipe from allrecipes.com (link), and changed it up a bit. What I ended up with is below, and it’s been a huge hit with our friends and families so far! It’s a hearty soup that covers 4 of the 6 GBOMBS (Greens, Beans, Onions,…
What? Yup, that’s right, apple guacamole! It actually sounds more complicated than it is. I basically make a traditional guacamole and add diced apples. We’ve been making mango guacamole in the summer time for years. I was recently making guacamole to bring to a party and I didn’t feel right adding mangos with snow on the ground, so I went for a fall fruit. The result is something pretty special! …
