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! 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, 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! 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 […]
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 […]
Hey babes, Growing up in a blue-collar family, we very rarely had meatballs. My mom worked her tail off raising us, refinishing the house, babysitting, gardening, bookkeeping, saving the day against supervillains, and more, so you can bet she was not going to waste precious time hand rolling meatballs, and she wasn’t going to waste […]
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 […]
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.
