Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
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!

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 […]
Hey babes, If there’s one rebuttal to a plant-based lifestyle that makes me nearly detach a retina from the level of eye rolls it generates, it has to be, “But BACON!!” Team, babes, citizens of Earth, come on.
