  • Recipe: Bliss Bowl

    Salads are usually our favorite way to load up on tons of fresh veggies, but today’s weather had me craving more of a comfort food – something hearty and warm. Before I eliminated soy from my diet, going to Café Yumm was a great, quick place to grab a meal – their Yumm Bowls were to die…

  • Recipe: Berry Protein Smoothie & Homemade Granola

    We start every morning off with a superfood smoothie – it’s a great way to sneak in a whole bunch nutrient rich foods, especially when you’ve got a toddler. Our kiddo is on a green strike – she refuses all things green, but hidden in a smoothie, she’ll suck it down! Silly girl, I hope…

  • Recipe Review: Raw Chocolate Cream Caramel Bars

    Let me first say, I am obsessed with Emily von Euw – I love her blog and creativity; her lifestyle is absolutely inspiring. She makes me want to go back to a mostly raw food diet – if you haven’t checked her out, please do @ This Rawsome Vegan Life.  We’ve made more than a handful of her raw recipes…

  • Our Top 10 Must-Haves and a Review of TERRASOUL Superfoods

    I’ve received a handful of emails and messages about going vegan and what items we always have on hand. So I thought I would share our must-have products, our staples. Top 10 Must-Haves: in no particular order 1.  Coconut Oil (organic & raw) – I, seriously, could NOT live without it. We use it in our…

  • Homemade White Bean Chili

    The one thing I love about winter is the warm comfort food that comes with it – especially soups and chili. Tonight we decided to mix it up a bit and create a white bean chili. This recipe makes a large pot of chili and fed five of us with leftovers to spare….we all had second…

  • Recipe: The Best Mac ‘N’ Cheeze

    Five years ago we stumbled upon one of our favorite recipes in an issue of VegNews Magazine and over the years, we have played around with ingredients and made it our own. The best part about this Macaroni & Cheese recipe, is that it looks and tastes like the real thing – even the biggest cheese…

  • Recipe Review: Lentils and Rice with Caramalized Onions

    Let me first say, if you don’t own Veganomicon, you NEED to! Vegan or not, this cookbook is filled with tons of recipes for all to enjoy. We’ve been slowly working our way through them – we’re guilty of getting stuck in routine and eating a lot of the same meals – especially when you find…

  • The Many Benefits of Garlic

    I am obsessed with garlic, always have been. The smell, the taste, but most of all, it’s versatility. Everyone knows that garlic is used to add flavor to foods, but not everyone knows that for ages it has been used as medicine, due to its many therapeutic properties. Like most other foods, when you eat or…

  • The Truth About Folic Acid

    If I had to choose one book to recommend to parents, it would probably be Disease Proof Your Child | Feeding Kids Right by Joel Fuhrman M.D. Especially for those who are on the fence about raising your child on a plant-based diet, this will push you over to the vegan side of things without…

  • For This I am Thankful…

    It’s hard to believe that it’s been a YEAR since I’ve actually written anything more than in my daughter’s nightly journal – I’ve made several attempts – but either my thoughts get jumbled and I struggle with my words or I just simply forget what I wanted to say. Being a mom means multitasking and being…
