Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
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 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, When I was growing up, I absolutely loved plain white rice. A little margarine and salt and I could’ve eaten a whole pan. And, even though white rice isn’t as fiber-rich as brown rice, I keep it in stock because it is so cheap and an easier sell to picky kids. However, my […]
Hey babes, This week has been very strange, just to get that right out of the way. Our family grew to the tune of two birds and four mice, because apparently a dog and a cat weren’t enough for two children. My youngest has been recently very upset by the idea of mice being used […]
Hey babes, Growing up, my mom made so many one-pot meals. Chili mac, Mexican casserole, chicken spaghetti, chicken and dumplings, enchiladas, tater tot casserole, cheeseburger pie, chicken pot pie, and many more.

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. So, in our less-than-vegan part […]
Hey babes, So, my youngest went through a spell where she was absolutely convinced school food was making her sick. While I was skeptical, I was also happy to make lunches for her while she sorted out her feelings about school food. Turns out, one of her favorite staples for hot days was also one […]
Hey babes, So, little personal anecdote: as part of my current job duties, I help sort out the food for parties thrown by my company and boss.

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.
