Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
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, I bet you didn’t know I was a seitanist, huh? Blessed be the gluten and all that. My devotion is certainly not to the level of religious zeal, but I am a fan. With the possible exception of soy curls, seitan most closely resembles the texture of meat among the popular vegan protein […]
Hey babes! Here’s a fun little tidbit from eons past. I used to experiment constantly with pancakes, specifically with protein pancakes. Skinny Miss protein powder, egg whites, cottage cheese, I tried it all. But after I moved over to WFPB, my breakfasts transitioned to a mix of tofu bowls, burritos, and oatmeal, and I saved […]
Hey babes! Please don’t have hurt feelings when I tell you this, but I’ve been holding out on you. I’ve been cooking this recipe for months and months. It’s quite possibly one of my favorites. If you can’t guess by the title or the splashy photos, I’ll spoil it here: spicy cauliflower bites, and even […]
Hey babes, So, I’ve had this recipe sitting around with me in secret for a while. I didn’t think it was necessary. I was sure it was overkill. But things have changed. Sit down, lovely friends, we need to chat. My best friend contracted COVID-19 in October of 2020. He dodged the ER only because […]
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! 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 […]
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! Whatever path you choose to walk to a healthier life, I’m proud of you. Let Mama give you a little smooch. So, if there’s […]
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 […]
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.
