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…
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…
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.

Give it a try for yourself and I think you will like it too!! The recipe is…
This sandwich is a quick, easy healthy choice. It’s on a pita with a layer of hummus, crumbled up Sunshine veggie burger, avocado, fresh spinach and salsa. The Sunshine burgers are the best because they are made from rice, seeds and veggies and have no soy fillers. I get them at the Basil Bandwagon in Flemington. On the side is some leftover chili I found in the fridge. This is…
