Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
Hey babes, Holy guacamole, it’s been a while! Explains why it’s so quiet around here. Really though, life has been crazy busy. As if working and raising kids wasn’t enough excitement, I started nursing school! I can’t promise I’ll be ramping up to super consistent until summer, but after everything I’ve seen in the hospitals […]
Hey babes, So, I’m going to share a secret: sometimes, it’s lunch time, and I have prepared nothing, and I’m hungry and lazy. I may have told you that before, but I was too lazy to check. Problem is, I don’t keep things like TV dinners on hand, and I’m too cheap to order something. […]
Hey babes, When I was growing up, I absolutely loved plain white rice. A little margarine and salt and I could’ve eaten a whole pan. And, even though white rice isn’t as fiber-rich as brown rice, I keep it in stock because it is so cheap and an easier sell to picky kids. However, my […]
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, As I mentioned recently, I love the flavors of various Asian cuisines, and Chinese is no exception. Like most middle-Americans, my initial introduction was due to the influence of take-out and buffets, but thankfully the internet is massive, and not everything has to be stuffed full of sugar, oil, and MSG to satisfy […]
Hey babes, Growing up, my mom made so many one-pot meals. Chili mac, Mexican casserole, chicken spaghetti, chicken and dumplings, enchiladas, tater tot casserole, cheeseburger pie, chicken pot pie, and many more. My mom is an AMAZING cook, and that wonderful lady knew how to stretch a dollar until it screamed. I take a lot […]
Hey babes, So, as those of us in the US and other places with a heavy focus on Christian holidays know, Sunday is Easter. And even the most secular among us will likely be preparing a feast and hiding Easter eggs for our sweet babies. Problem for those of us that tend to stay in […]
Hey babes, With spring in full swing and several holidays coming up, I got to thinking about the kinds of dishes I love at family holidays. I do love a starch, and my family always has some delicious potato dish in a crockpot somewhere. The problem is that it is that those beautiful little spuds […]
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.
