We introduce new soup recipes each season of the SOUP Cleanse and the Winter 2020 recipe soup standout has to be this creamy broccoli pesto. It combines antioxidant rich walnuts (highly anti-inflammatory!) and energy-boosting, B12 rich nutritional yeast with fresh basil and broccoli. I highly suggest making a large batch of this and making your […]
Avocado toast is one of those dishes that is now forever cemented into American food culture. Like chips and guacamole or hummus and pita – it’s safe to say that a simple piece of toasted bread topped with flavorful veggie options has had a moment. My carrot toast spin on avocado toast is no different. […]
Delicata squash is an often overlooked option, but it’s actually the easiest squash to cook and has a delicious subtly sweet flesh. To prepare Delicata, all you need to do is clean, remove seeds, slice and roast. The skin is tender enough to eat without the need to peel. Winter squash contain beta carotene, fiber, […]
If you’re eating a whole foods, plant-based diet I don’t believe that anything needs to be off-limits or categorized as a “cheat” meal. With balance and intentional eating, having dessert is perfectly fine. I love to serve this flourless dark chocolate cake when guests come over. It’s simply beautiful and just the right amount of […]
One of the easiest ways to keep your healthy eating commitments will be to prep in advance. There is a reason why you will find sites dedicated to the sole topic of meal prep…it works AND it will save you from breaking down and going into the pantry to snack on anything you can get […]
After a week in the never-ending summer of Cabo, I’m back to what we would call “winter” here in Los Angeles (no offense to anyone in the country where winter really means winter!). The combination of coming home again and walking into a chilly house has me craving comfort food and chili is right up […]
This one is a little different than my usual recipe post, but in the spirit of covering a little bit of everything, I’m sharing a pizza recipe that is family approved, but also happens to be vegan. We’re a family of food lovers and pizza is never off the table, but I love knowing I […]
Indian food is a popular takeout order at my house. Those beautiful spices, complex flavors and the abundance of vegetarian options make it a go-to. I’ve also found Indian dishes are a success in the home kitchen as well. With the right spices, the recipes are surprisingly simple and with minimum risk. This week we […]
Buffalo cauliflower is the most in-demand item at the Erewhon deli bar and is popping up on menus all over town as a vegetarian/vegan option. I love the idea of combining those spicy sauce flavors with a creamy ranch made from Greek yogurt and served alongside a bunch of veggies. This salad is easy to […]
I love pumpkin, only you won’t find me indulging in those artificial pumpkin spiced gimmicks of the season. Pumpkin in its intended form is quite different, savory and delicious. I find myself using it more for main meals and less for desserts. In addition to richness, texture, and flavor it lends to soup, pumpkin is loaded […]
