Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
Hey babes, So, I’m sure many of you, like myself, are parents. If you got lucky, your kids like everything. Veggies, fruit, potatoes, rice, all of it. But, according to one study, up to 39% of children will identify as “picky” at some point in their childhood. Thankfully, according to the same study, it was […]
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, So, when I was in my late teens in the military, I met a wonderful couple that I became fast friends with. And the woman of the couple taught me how to make homemade Alfredo sauce during one of our regular weekend get-togethers. Up to that point, my experience with alfredo had always […]
Hey babes, If you live in 2022, you’ve probably noticed one thing at your local grocery stores: increased food prices. As much as would love to regale you with my thoughts on global economics and the impact of oil and war, but that’s not what you’re here for, so we’ll leave it at this: food […]
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. This may come as a shock, but between work, school, my kids, this website, the gym, and any remaining personal hobbies and relationships, I’m not much of a […]
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, 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 […]
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.
