Brunching

I found this amazing recipe on Thug Kitchen's Instagram feed last week and decided I had to bring it to an upcoming potluck.   (www.thugkitchen.com) Now, full disclosure,  I'm skeptical on vegan sweet dishes because they don't always work out for me but this was a hit! I mean who doesn't like french toast??  And you …

Navigating the Supermarket

Plant-based foods are becoming mainstream.  Even only  18 months after I ditched the dairy and un-meated myself, the number of products that have come to market is impressive. But before you load up your cart and drop some serious green, here are a few tips to help you navigate this new landscape. Tip#1 - Read …

Food Is Good Medicine

I mostly read magazines with an eye of education and takeaways.  Recipes, suggestions, exercises, etc.  I rip them out, tag 'em with a post-it and set them aside.  Workouts go in the binder, recipes near the cookbooks, blog ideas in a folder. Last weekend I was given the summer issue of "The Ultimate Superfoods" from …

Green Flash

This is my new favorite bowl recipe.  What I LOVE is that you can take this basic recipe and modify it however you like.  Use spinach instead of kale, zoodles instead of the soba noodles, add carrots, red bell peppers or shredded red cabbage. And if you have carnivores in your family that resist the …

Salad Toast

I love making a big bowl of Creamy Savory Oats for breakfast.  It's hearty.  It's creamy.  It's savory.  It's everything I love in a breakfast food. Sometimes, however, I'm in the mood for something a little different.  Let me introduce you to Salad Toast. Salad Toast combines fresh greens, a bright and sweet dressing with creamy …

Veggiesaurus

I recently completed a full year of being (mostly) plant-based.   Yep. 365 days without meat, dairy (cheese, milk, butter, etc.) with the exception of some baked items, hence the "mostly" disclaimer.  I mean I'm all about full disclosure so there go. If you've been following this blog for a while, y'all know I didn't plan …

Eat Your Greens

Last January I posted Scared Straight which talked about my December 2016 Netflix binge-watching of health documentaries.  (You can read the article here. )  In early March, as many of you have read, I pulled the trigger and challenged myself to eating a mostly plant-based diet for 30 days.  It's now January 3rd and I'm on …

Order Up

As y'all know, I've pretty successfully adopted a *mostly* plant-based diet and have eliminated eating animals and things that come from animals (you know; is a mother, had a mother, has a face, etc).   I say mostly because as I've shared before, sometimes cake happens. I check off each day on my calendar and today …
