Plant-based recipes for a deliciously healthy life
Hey babes! I finally found a new source for mushrooms!! This is one of my favorite ways to prep oyster mushrooms. They’re cheap and healthy. I add them to a meal prep with broccoli and quinoa or rice, with some easy ACV sauce and cilantro, and maybe some avocado. Give it a try and let […]
Hey babes, It’s heating up here and I needed something I could grab for lunch and not sweat my booty off. This turned out to be way lower calorie than I thought, but it’s so filling! Top with some avocado or use as a side to help bulk out your meals. Let me know what […]
Hey babes! This is one of my favorite quick “cheese” recipes, made possible by the delicious probiotic goodness of miso paste! Enjoy on crackers, salads, bowls, and more. Let me know in the comments what you think, and of course if you have any questions!
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, 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, I’m not a food snob. I consider myself kind of a redneck vegan. I try to keep things simple, frugal, and almost always involve my heirloom cast iron skillets when I cook. HOWEVER, when I see something egregious, I can’t help myself. All new chefs and home cooks are granted a pass. […]
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, Life is super busy with this, two jobs, college, kids, and the gym, so I was elated to score some frozen cauliflower gnocchi on sale a few weeks back. If there’s one thing I love almost as much as discount produce, it’s discount frozen goods. I have two freezers and keep them stocked […]
