Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
Hey babes, I don’t think I’ve said it yet, but welcome to February! We’re 8.33% of the way through the year! Did you complete Veganuary? Did you extend it another month or 11? Either way, happy to have you. So, we had our employee benefits meeting at work today, and they made a very large […]
Hey babes, So, if your kids are like mine, they sometimes prefer the delicious, scientifically-calibrated choices from chain restaurants over yours. If I can ever get my kids to say “wow, that tastes like (insert restaurant here),” I count that as a win. One of the places my children love the most (thanks, coparent) is […]
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! How’s your 2022 going? Are you participating in Veganuary? Still sticking to it? Opted for a more flexitarian approach? Maybe trying to give Meatless Monday a go? Good job!

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, I feel like we’ve taken enough time to get to know each other. We can trust each other with secrets, right? Well, we’ll find out, because I’m going to let you in on a big one. Ready? Okay, here we go. Sometimes, in fact a lot of the time….I use other people’s recipes […]

Hey babes, If you’re like most of the western world, you probably grew up with a set of staple dishes rotating across your dinner table. For those of us from blue collar families with stay-at-home moms, that usually meant simple, hardy dishes. Being from the southwest, that meant lots of Tex-Mex, beans, cornbread, and chilis, […]
Hola bebes, Feliz Cinco de Mayo! For the uninitiated, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the anniversary of the first Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, where Mexican forces succeeded in fending off an assault by a much larger and better equipped French force on the city of Puebla. The victory was a huge inspiration to […]
Hey babes, So, I know it isn’t meant to be clickbait (or maybe it is, I’m not the Judge Judy of Intent), but I always feel cheated by the tagline “Meatless Monday.” I recently found myself on a pretty popular Millennial/Gen Z website, known for their mega lists, quizzes, videos, and surprisingly informative news branch.
