Some girls get giddy when they receive roses. But me? I much prefer discovering 50 pounds of fruit in my trunk. That’s true love in my world. Luckily, most of it is apples, which last a while. But they obviously don’t last forever. So I have been challenging myself to create as many different recipes with apples as possible.  I came up with this apple cider-esque latte that is oh so comforting and captures the […]

I just know you’re going to love this lentil and squash salad! Comfort food season has begun, but who says hearty food can’t be healthy? My love affair with fall has something to do with the gorgeous weather and slower pace of life. And the transition from summer to chilly weather gives me a reason to buy new sweaters and boots.

This recipe may not be 100 percent plant-based, however, I can totally justify using a few eggs because these beautiful little tarts that capture the flavors of fall are just so damn healthy. They are mostly beans and pumpkin, but with a little magic (I may or may not have a wand) they turn into familiar pie we all know and love.

Because, who doesn’t love those that classic peanut butter and chocolate combination? I am a lover of almond butter, so that’s what I use in my version, but if you are craving a true Reese’s, go for peanut butter!

Anyway, this recipe is really about combining a few high-quality ingredients to create a memorable summer dessert. This tart is refreshing, yet indulgent, and is healthy enough for […]

Happy National Donut Day! And my gratitude to the brilliant mastermind who created the holiday (and of course the creator of the donut!) As much as I crave and love real, pure, plant-based food, I’m human. So yes, I day dream about donuts from time to time. And for the sake of perfecting this recipe, I had my share of them this week. No complaints here. Who said that healthy girls can’t have donuts too?! […]
