Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
Hey babes! I love the flavors of Greek food but very rarely can you find plant-based versions in my part of the world. So I used my favorite substitute for a healthy version: mushrooms! The secret, like with all mushroom recipes, is to let it marinate and get it nice and crispy. Give it a […]
Hey babes, It’s heating up here and I needed something I could grab for lunch and not sweat my booty off. This turned out to be way lower calorie than I thought, but it’s so filling! Top with some avocado or use as a side to help bulk out your meals. Let me know what […]
(Hey! Just wanted to let you know, none of my links below are affiliated. Just wanted to help you find resources for some of the less common ingredients!) Hey babes, Growing up casseroles were always in vogue, but absolutely none were plant-based. So, I thought I would rework an old one, with wayyyy more vegetables […]
Hey babes! If you’re lucky enough to have a good source of oyster mushrooms, highly recommend giving this a try! It’s extremely low calorie, spicy, and filling. And, of course, delicious! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments! Enjoy!
Hey babes! So, I’ve been thinking. When I go to find a recipe online, I’m not looking for a life story. I’m looking for a recipe that fits the ingredients I want to prepare. So, I’m going to stop boring you. If you want me to add in all the flavor and facts about the […]

Hey babes, As I mentioned recently, I love the flavors of various Asian cuisines, and Chinese is no exception. Like most middle-Americans, my initial introduction was due to the influence of take-out and buffets, but thankfully the internet is massive, and not everything has to be stuffed full of sugar, oil, and MSG to satisfy […]
Hey babes, If it isn’t obvious by now, I tend to lean on other cultures for my recipes. This is because of one simple fact: the US/European culture tends to not be particularly vegan-friendly, whereas Asian, Latin, Middle-Eastern, and African countries tend to incorporate it more often. Obviously this is not the case 100% of […]
Hey babes! So, this is a bit of an honest but hopefully relatable confession: there are plenty of nights I fix a different meal for my picky kids than myself. I know, no one should be a short order cook, blah blah blah. But, sorry, sometimes my kids just want some veggie dogs or pasta, […]
Hey babes, Want to know a sign of true love? A partner that accommodates how you eat and your schedule. I know it sounds ridiculous, but when you have a partner that completely accepts your hours working, hanging with your kids, working out, writing, AND a plant-based life-style. Chef’s kiss.
