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, Growing up in a small rural town (and being a picky child), I didn’t get to try Indian food until I was twenty. Oh the years wasted without it. Nowadays, Indian cuisine is one of my absolute flavors. I love finding new recipes that utilize the rich blends of spices and simple ingredients […]
Hey babes, This last week, I was chatting with my mom when she mentioned checking out a noodle bar in town with her friends. As she told me what all they ate, one dishes caught my immediate interest: Pad Thai. I’ve been making it at home for ages, and I love the spicy blend of […]
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, 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, 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 […]
Hey babes, If it isn’t evident from my recipe catalogue, I’m not heavily reliant on traditional Americana for my inspiration. Even though I was raised in the windy plains of Texas, my travels and various homes since then have let me sample flavors from a number of cultures, and searching for vendors that cater to […]
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 […]
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.
