Because the local corn is fresh and in season, we have been making a bunch of recipes that include it (such as this similar recipe here). Sometimes in our favorite burritos, and sometimes as the main ingredient of a fresh summer salad. We recently made this sweet corn recipe, and then I thought of making […]
Lemongrass tofu scramble (Low Fat, Vegan)
Lunch is sometimes a conundrum. You want to eat quickly, get back to work, get back to what you’re doing… but you don’t want last night’s leftovers or to grab something processed out of the cupboard. Then I discovered the tofu scramble: a flavorful, warm and filling food that is also versatile (see the next […]
Ginger pumpkin seed muesli (Vegan, Dairy free)
It’s easy to get into a rut for breakfast: oatmeal and more oatmeal. Cereal. More oatmeal. While this muesli still utilizes the handy rolled oats, they are quite a bit different in this tasty variation. Adding chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and a healthy amount of plant-based milk, this hearty meal will help you wake up […]
Blueberry Vanilla Oatmeal: Dairy free and purple
Oatmeal is an incredibly simple and versatile addition to your morning routine. You will find so many variations of oatmeal on this site because it’s what I eat most mornings! And I don’t get bored, as long as I switch up the flavors. So I add my favorite flavors here on the site to give […]
Maple Vanilla Hot Cereal (Low fat, vegan)
I love hot cereal. I never thought I would, either. After going low fat whole foods plant based (as opposed to “just” whole foods plant based), I gave up my beloved nut-butters on whole grain toast… and felt a bit lost. But it didn’t last too long after I hauled out the hot cereal (and […]

This creamy tropical green bean smoothie also has kale, but adding a tropical blend of fruit, watermelon juice, and some cashew milk to make it taste like […]
Dairy-free raspberry vegan yogurt sweetened with stevia
This raspberry “yogurt” is a sugar-free dessert that is naturally sweetened: we use pure unprocessed stevia and fruit to sweeten it, along with the raspberries. You can enjoy this all natural plant-based yogurt without any of the added guilt. This isn’t a traditional yogurt (there isn’t any culture in this recipe), but the chia seed […]
Grapefruit and Fennel juice
This is one of my favorite recipes for juicing – Grapefruit Fennel. It was the first juice we tried upon purchasing our first juicer, and one of the simplest. It remains my favorite juice to this day! The hint of anise pairs so well with the tart grapefruit.
Overnight vegan chia oatmeal pudding (Vegan, Oil Free, Raw)
This overnight chia pudding is as delicious for breakfast as it is healthy and filling. Having some of this breakfast fills me up all morning, since it is hearty and also energizing. It’s easy to modify based on what you have in the fridge, too. And the best thing about this recipe is you can […]
