Positively healthy, plant based recipes
Seriously, who doesn’t love peanut sauce? I love it, too, But peanuts are known to contain unhealthy aflatoxins that contribute to numerous health problems. I prefer other nut butters whenever possible and almond butter is one of my favorites. And, of course, using raw zucchini instead of noodles will give you tons of healthy…
I eat a lot of pizza, that much is true. I try not to feel bad about it, because it’s plant based, but it’s hard not to feel a little guilty! Our culture has definitely demonized gluten, and for good reason, but it doesn’t take the pleasure our of fragrant, freshly baked bread. Darn it….

You would never believe it’s completely sugar free and dairy free, and is made completely from whole fruit. Frozen bananas are the base of the “ice cream.” In order to make this properly, you’ll need really…
Carrot cake holds a special place in my heart-it’s my father’s favorite dessert so we would always have carrot cake on his birthday growing up. This year we even picked the restaurant for his 80th birthday celebration based on the carrot cake cupcakes they have on their menu! Of course, those weren’t vegan or raw,…
A delicious sauce is the key to happiness on a vegan diet. It can make the difference between a so-so dinner, and a roll-your-eyes-into-the-back-of-your-head-good dinner.
