Donuts are one of my weaknesses, especially glazed doughnuts. This recipe is truly the result of my own cravings, and they’re definitely worth the effort! I used a donut pan used for making baked donuts, but since these are raw, I was only using it as a mold. Another bonus of this recipe is that…
Kale chips are such a delicious treat, and are so easy to make! The only thing that I wish I could do differently is make larger batches, but my dehydrator is too small. I only have a 3 tray model, which is great for saving space, but I wish I had bought a bigger one!…
I love a minimalist soup that I can throw in the Instant Pot and then in 30 minutes, voila! Dinner is served. Split peas are a quick cooking legume that are super comforting and delicious all on their own with very few extra ingredients. The smoked paprika lends a familiar “smoked ham” flavor but with…
Every one loves spring rolls, it seems! I know I do! These spring rolls are made entirely from veggies, including the wrapper.

Rancid and chemical laden oils are so unhealthy-they can contribute to inflammation and even have been found to be carcinogenic when heated to high temperatures….
I love making overnight oats to save me precious time in the morning, and to make sure I have something healthy to have on my way out the door! It’s great to remake in a jar and then top with berries, granola or nuts and a splash of almond milk. What are Overnight Oats? They…
Today I have a guest post from fellow plant based blogger, Faith from Faithful Plateful! I hope you enjoy this easy, healthy and protein rich recipe from Faith! Have you seen the yellow Tasty Bite pouches of ready-to-eat Madras Lentils? They are often sold at Costco. Anything convenient and yummy is a tempting purchase, and…
Although squash blossoms are usually a summer treat, I have seen them in my local grocery lately and decided to go ahead and make a dish with them! Squash blossoms are delicious on their own, but are stunning when they are stuffed. They are delicate, colorful and unique. Make sure that you remove the stamen…
