Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
This is where the cooking, chopping, and other food prep reside.
Hey babes! So, are you ready for a secret? A DEVASTATING one??? I eat what some may consider to be….BORING LUNCHES. I know, truly shameful. Really though, I am a busy babe. On top of writing for you lovely folks and raising children, I have a career and a strict gym schedule. It all takes […]
Hey babes! So, funny story: as you probably know from my constant use of peppers, your narrator loves some spicy food. I’m always down to try some new spice blend or chili pepper. However, as much as I love them, there is a limit to my tolerance for pure mouth-fire. One of my most reliable […]
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 […]
Hi babes! So as you’ve probably been able to tell from some of my previous recipes, your resident narrator loves spicy foods. I’m also lucky enough to live in an area with a lot of ethnic grocery stores, so I have the fortune of access to dozens of species of peppers, from the humble Jalapeno […]
Hey babes! So, I’m on a persistent mission to improve my health through what I eat, while also actually liking the food (wild, huh). These last few weeks, I have been free-falling deeper into the gut health research that is a cornerstone of why I’m constantly singing the praises of eating more fiber. On top […]
It seems to me that whenever people (and by people, I mean people that eat the standard American diet, or rather SAD) talk about eating breakfast on a whole food plant-based diet, or even a vegan diet, they always end up talking about oatmeal. Somehow this devolves into disparaging oatmeal for being bland or boring […]
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 […]
Hello world, and all of the beautiful people in it. Here’s a fun fact for you: I F-ing LOVE curry. Thai, Indian, mild, insanely spicy, authentic, Americanized, you name it. I love the depth of the flavors, the soupy goodness, all of the surprising ingredients snuck in there. Just thinking about it makes me drool […]
Well folks, it happened again. I decided to try something new, and couldn’t find a recipe to satisfy my curiosity. What else is new? Shocking as this may be, I have not had a lot of experience with tempeh. The last time, prior to this week, that I attempted it, I was still a wee, […]
Ah, lentils. Tiny, cheap, delicious. Growing up, I had no experience with lentils. I think I had some vague idea that they were either the staple of hippy communes or old-world peasants, but in my small-town naivety I couldn’t be sure. Shame to my childishness. Lentils are actually considered one of humanity’s oldest food sources, […]
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.
