Spice up your summer Hey guys, I hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! I spent mine celebrating my cousin’s soon-to-be wife’s (so does that make her my future cousin-in-law? ;)) bachelorette on Cape Cod and phew I’m exhausted but feeling so nourished.

Ay yo where’s my queso As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been on a Mexican food kick lately, so I figure no better time than now to post my vegan queso recipes. I made more this week, of course. And seriously this dip is so delicious, people devour it. I brought it to […]

Going Dairy-Free When it came to going dairy-free, giving up milk was no problem for me at all. Growing up, I dreaded the glass of milk I was forced to drink at dinner. Because when I was a child, it was ‘common knowledge’ that drinking milk made you taller and stronger and was good for […]

Eat like a rabbit My family celebrates Easter, and I celebrate any excuse to make treats. And of course I’m always on a mission to satisfy my sweet tooth in a healthier way, using real, whole foods ingredients and as little sugar (never refined of course) as possible. So this weekend, I was back at […]

Chocolate is a superpower So as I mentioned in my recent apple pie smoothie post, I’ve been rebalancing my gut. And in order to do so, I had to stick to warm foods, meaning no traditional ice-based smoothies. BUT I figured out a hack to this breakfast obstacle: the warm smoothie. 

Getting the Gut Back on Track I’ve been working on rebalancing my gut for the past several months, because chemo and six months of antibiotics will do a serious number on gut flora. I’d already been planning on a New Year’s cleanse in January, them BAM!, gut issues hit. For the first time in my […]

The Warm Apple Pie Smoothie Project For my warm apple pie smoothie project, I wanted to find the best way to get the fresh-out of the oven warm apple pie vibe. I figured I could bake the apple, which would work just fine I’m sure. 

It’s supposed to be spring now, so even though the weather is holding out on us, I’m channeling all the spring vibes in the kitchen, because I’m way beyond ready for it! So, the other day I experimented with a raw key lime pie and it was amazing. And since then I can’t stop making […]

Soup for days This past weekend I went to the country for a little weekend retreat of my own creation. Spring renewal vibes brought me out there, but winter decided to have its last hurrah and I wound up snowed in on Friday, and it was actually perfect (fortunately I had checked the weather forecast and […]

My cauliflower makeover I’ll be honest. I wrote off cauliflower for years because it isn’t green. I didn’t get the point of white broccoli – if I was going to eat the vegetable, it may as well be the green version. But my perception of cauliflower has undergone a total transformation – extreme makeover edition.
