I never go back for seconds of Brussel sprouts with a smile; they are a food I know is good for me and therefore I eat them. Until now. This dish is delicious! It is adapted from The Vegan Road by the amazing Patrick McGilvray. He is an avid athlete and studied plant-based nutrition at […]

I am so proud of these! I have been yearning for the recipe book written by the team who brought us Pure Food & Wine which, as you know, is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. Well, the book retails at $37.50 – way too much for the likes of me- but […]

Marinara sauce, in Italy, is a seafood sauce – makes more sense with the derivation –  and Neapolitan is the classic tomato. Why did the names get switched around in the US? And, in Naples they call the classic Italian tomato sauce, salsa. I never thought a raw version of any of the above would […]

I love, love, love these! Thank you, Denise Mari from Organic Avenue for this delicious alternative to all that Halloween filled-with-chemicals-and-so-bad-for-you-in-so-many-ways candy. Instead, have raw brownies! I know, you’ll be disappointing the kids. But pleasing your tongue. So, there you go. I got all my ingredients from vitacost – you’ll see a discount code to […]

It’s potato season. Yay! These are not as fiddly as they look, but they are fiddly. However, they look really impressive and they taste great. I was inspired by Angie Tee’s Seasaltwithfood blog. I adjusted her recipe to make it vegan – added olive oil and skipped the butter. Hasslebacks are a traditional Swedish dish, […]

These tarts will make everyone happy. I ate two in one sitting. And that’s all I made this time.  And I’m still happy! Ingredients: For the Filling: 1 C cashews 1 juicy ripe pear 1 scrape vanilla pod 4 Tbsp water – to taste: if the pear is large and juicy you will need less […]

My husband made these. He researched. He checked out recipes which matched our CSA veggies. And, he came up trumps. This dish is delicious and good for you, too! A great way to enjoy the tail end of pepper season. This is adapted from allrecipes.com. Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa 1 cup water 2 red bell […]

I love this. I could drink it all day long. It gives me a caffeine boost while also being good for me. The antioxidants from the green tea, the electrolytes from the coconut water, and other things I AM SURE!  Plus, it’s all creamy and gloopy and yummy to drink. This is inspired a Renee […]

I am so excited about these! They are so easy to make, and they are deliciously healthy snacks. You can experiment with different seasonings, and you may end up having to double the recipe. Ingredients: 1 15oz tin,  chickpeas – organic, if you like (you can pick up four cans relatively cheaply at vitacost) sea […]

I must admit, I was hesitant to delve into the world of kelp noodle,s but I thought a thick, tasty sauce would make it work. My fiendish plan worked. Even my daughter loves them. I haven’t yet done the hubby test. It is light and delicious but, also, filling. And raw! Blowing my own mind, […]
