There has been a trend permeating social media and even some major grocery stores about “dessert hummus” recently. Yes you heard me correctly dessert (like chocolate, vanilla, snicker-doodle, caramel,etc) with your favorite savory bean spread. I had seen it on Instagram but never in person until recently on a trip through Costco. One of…
Kids
Ultimate “Egg” Salad (Mayo & Oil-Free)
I frequently get asked if there are any foods that were my favorite growing up that were not vegan. Or which animal foods I miss the most. Too be honest, it is not the actual food I miss ( because honestly my tastes have just changed), but the social ease of eating food with other people…
Spicy Pinto & Tempeh Chili
I typically try to avoid using products whose main goal is to “mimick” meat. While I think these products are great every once in a while as a treat, I don’t believe they should be a staple in a person’s diet. For some reason I’ve always put tempeh in this category of processed mock meat…

Gluten-Free Gingerbread Bites
To me, the end of the year can sometimes feel like a spinning wheel of to-do lists. We try and stop to enjoy the little moments, but it can be overwhelming. Deadlines need to be reached, cookies to be made, gifts to be bought, and not to mention you need some time to work out, because…
Cinnamon Caramel Dip
With Halloween just around the corner I have felt the external pressure from all around to buy and consume ultra-indulgent, decadent, and highly processed junk food. It’s part of the holiday season, and I am all for a little indulgence, but if I can create a treat that is just as indulgent and delicious without…
