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 […]
Light lunches
Low-Calorie Cauliflower-Quinoa Broccoli Salad (GF, WFPB, Oil-free!)
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 […]
Tofu Mushroom Gyoza (Potstickers)
Hey babes, I promised I wouldn’t bore you with a long diatribe, but I wanted to give a little backstory. Once upon a time, I was in a language course that was taught by native speakers, more specifically, Chinese immigrants training us in Mandarin. Part of the course involved “Immersion days” where we learned how […]
Red Curry Peanut Cauliflower (WFPB, GF, Oil-Free)
Hey babes, As promised, I won’t bore you with a long story, but this recipe is super tasty in a taco with greens, a little kimchee, carrots, and avocado sauce. Also, if you’re curious, I used these little tortillas. Enjoy and let me know in the comments if you have any questions! Also, I don’t […]
Vegan Sushi! (Mom tested, kid approved!)
Hey babes, So, my youngest went through a spell where she was absolutely convinced school food was making her sick.

If you can’t guess by the title or the splashy photos, I’ll spoil it here: spicy cauliflower bites, and even […]
Vegan Egg Roll in a Bowl
Hey babes! So, here’s a dirty little secret: my parents didn’t teach me how to cook. And don’t think that’s a discredit to my parents, because it’s certainly not. They taught me cleaning, hunting, auto-repair, carpentry, roofing, plumbing, first aid, sewing, and countless other skills I use every day (okay, maybe not the hunting). But […]
New Year, Old Favorite: Tomato Soup (Vegan, GF, Oil-Free)
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 […]
Chick’n and Brocco(li): Oil-Free, Vegan
Hey babes, So, there used to be this idea in the gym crowd that in order to sculpt your body, you have to smash in tons of protein powder, and eat dry chicken breasts, rice, and broccoli. The amount of times I have seen guys pull out plastic Tupperware with chicken or turkey burgers, maybe […]
