Sesame oatmeal sweetened with dates: a filling vegan breakfast
I always like to start my day with a hearty and filling (yet healthy!) breakfast. This often involves things like oatmeal, nuts and seeds.

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 […]

Three sorghum trail mix snacks to share: Spicy, Citrusy, and Sweet (Vegan, Oil Free)
I wanted to make a few different types of trail mix for quite some time. I have a bunch of bags of nuts and seeds, and I’m moving internationally, this means it’s time to start moving through my pantry so I do not need to pack it all in boxes! The plan was to make […]
How can I eat a plant based diet on a budget? It’s too expensive!
Starting a new diet based on health can be daunting. Not only do you need to adjust what you cook, but your monthly expenses also change as a result of a different grocery list. Many people think that starting a plant based diet is expensive, and therefore unrealistic considering their budget. However, it is certainly […]

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 […]
