Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
Hey babes, Growing up in a small rural town (and being a picky child), I didn’t get to try Indian food until I was twenty. Oh the years wasted without it. Nowadays, Indian cuisine is one of my absolute flavors. I love finding new recipes that utilize the rich blends of spices and simple ingredients […]
Hey babes, If it isn’t evident from my recipe catalogue, I’m not heavily reliant on traditional Americana for my inspiration. Even though I was raised in the windy plains of Texas, my travels and various homes since then have let me sample flavors from a number of cultures, and searching for vendors that cater to […]
Hola bebes! Now, I’m sure I’ve shown my hands a dozen or more times in my previous posts, but I love spicy flavors, and being Mexico adjacent, my heart belongs to the song of the many regional chile peppers and the dishes they inspire. For that reason, I recently became transfixed by pozole. Now, full […]
Hey babes, So, in case you find this surprising, let me fill you in on a secret about some portions of Texas, particularly mine: it gets cold as the lowest ring of Hell in the winter. Get that famous Texas wind whipping 5 degree temperatures across the plains, and we’re all wrapped in Carharts and […]
Hey babes! Since we are in the New Year and I’m trying to be mindful of all the hacks I use day-to-day, I’ve been scrolling through my mental Rolodex for basics I take for granted. Thankfully, the first time I went to add liquid to an oil-free pan, it hit me: vegetable broth. One quick […]
Hey babes, Welcome and happy New Year! If your 2021 was anything like mine, I’m sure you’re delighted to be through it and standing in a new chapter. If you’re like 1/3 of all Americans, you may have found your way here because of an increased interest in plant-based eating, or at least a spark […]
Hey babes, If you exist in the same timeline that I do, then we are both celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day today. As luck would have it, we’re also experiencing a cold snap in my part of the world, so fate appears to have aligned for this recipe. As I’m sure you know, St. Patrick’s Day […]
Happy New Year, babes! Hopefully 2021 isn’t the trash-fire that 2020 was for, oh, roughly the majority of humanity. I for one am determined to make the best of it, and to do everything I can to ensure my own health, wellness and success. That means working hard, eating plenty of whole, healthy plants, and […]
Hey babes, As we all know if we get too close to a window, it is starting to get to that time of year where it is cold, unpleasant, dark, and the perfect excuse for soups, chilis, and wayyyy too much coffee. Or maybe that last one is just me? Anywho, chili! This is going […]
Who says butternut should be the only soup squash? Summer squash is an unsung hero with a light taste that is complemented by a vibrant blend of spices to take it over the edge into holy s#!t status. Dear reader, I hear your objections all the way over here. “Hot soup in the summer? Pure […]
Hi babes, I'm Monica, the girl behind the curtain of Whole Food Plant Babe. My deep love of food and flavor couldn't be deterred by health concerns, so I sought to make WFPB recipes even tastier than their meat and dairy predecessors so I could have a long, happy, sexy, healthy life.
