I made this recipe back in January after completing my 21-day Community Cleanse Program. It was the perfect “treat” after sticking to the program for 21-days. However, I’m pretty sure you and your families will enjoy this one any time of year!

Pair this muffin with an oat milk latte and have yourself a good mood kind of day. I triple dog dare you :)

My first try at baking with aquafaba turned out better than anticipated, and who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies?!

For the longest time I didn’t understand people who ate savory breakfasts. I was ALWAYS a sweet breakfast or more fruit based kind of person. This is where crepes come in.

Once upon a time there was a cafe in OKC that served the absolute BEST quinoa chorizo tacos. After they closed down I knew I had to recreate one of my favorite weekend brunch traditions. While my version is not 100% exact to theirs, it is definitely less oil-filled and on the healthier (but still delicious!) side.

Why granola? Because “good” store-bought granola is still LOADED with sugar and it’s also like $12 for a very small bag which I find ridiculous.

When I was living in Amsterdam several years ago and working as a raw food chef, banoffee pie or banoffee parfaits were on the rage. I pretty much love anything with banana, so I was a huge fan!

When the weather shows signs of warming up I pretty much immediately start craving cold foods and more snack-like meals.

When I was growing up mac & cheese was a weekly staple, if not more. Since going plant-based 9ish years ago, I think I’ve finally come to accept that NO vegan version of mac and cheese is truly ever going to taste “the same,” but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as delicious!

With warmer days upon us, I have been seriously craving fresh herbs like mint and dill. It sounds kind of strange to put them together in this salad, but it is light, crisp, and refreshing.

I really love pasta, like really. I wish I liked it less to be honest. This pasta salad is definitely one of my favorites because it’s super light and refreshing.

Sometimes, you just need chocolate. And by you, I mean me. I pretty much always have a weakness for chocolate, so if I can find a way to sneak it into my breakfast smoothie I am ALL IN.

When I was creating a 21-day sports nutrition program, I created several bars for people to make at home, and this is one of them! I really love how simple these are. They work great for on-the-go fuel.

When it comes to cooking dinner, I get pretty lazy most of the time. I never want to spend too long in the kitchen after a busy day. I just want something simple, filling, and nutritious.

Strawberry smoothies are typically not my first pick, they might even be my last. However, after several requests for a strawberry smoothie for clients kids and so on, I finally made one. Much to my surprise, I loved it! With the combination of toasted coconut - I am all over it. It’s simple, filling, and refreshing.

I don’t know about you, but when the temperatures drop all of a sudden I start wanting asian food. I think it goes back to being a kid, and anytime it was snowing or raining outside my parents would order Chinese food to be delivered. It was basically a tradition that we all looked forward to, and to this day it always sounds appealing.

There’s something about the winter time that makes {most of} us crave comfort foods. A lot of the time, comfort food means highly processed food items that don’t leave us feeling the best. However, I am a true believer that that doesn’t have to be the case.

There’s not much better than curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of soup and a good movie, especially when it’s cold and rainy out. Throw in some sourdough bread and it’s a real party ;)

One of my favorite things about the cold weather is the arrival of comfort food. The savory goodness that beckons frosty windowpanes, a full table and a toasty fire. Growing up in the Midwest, I’ve always associated creamy casseroles with memories of cozy kitchens and flour-dusted countertops.

I love raw desserts for a handful of reasons, as you may already know. They make me feel light, they don’t contain refined or processed foods, and they always surprise people with a punch of flavor.

Meal delivery services have long been capitalizing on our lack of time and effort.  We applaud them for it. But, do they really deliver?  To narrow down the options, we first wanted to try Veestro and share our review with you all.  

Blue pie, sounds fun, right? I thought so. We made this raw dessert at my last Spring workshop and it was definitely a crowd favorite! Made with Blue Majik, a blue-green algae known for it’s anti-inflammatory properties, it’s good for you too :)

Sometimes, the simplest of meals are often the best. These tacos were created when I started working with the Oklahoma City Fire Department, as I wanted to teach an easy recipe that was filling for the times when firefighters get busy and have to eat to sustain their energy for an entire day

I always post pictures of meals like the chickpea and dill tacos, summer detox salads, or lentil sloppy joes - yet 9/10 times I am sitting behind a computer screen eating the most simple salad ever. I figured it was time to share one of my daily rituals with you - as this salad is the easiest of the easy, and it’s my go-to when I am in a hurry or just not in the mood to cook.

We all love tacos, or at least I love tacos. These summer tacos changed my eating habits for 3 weeks straight. I still can’t get enough. If you love dill - these tacos are for you. I taught this recipe at my most recent Eat to Live workshop, and now I am sharing the recipe because it’s just too good not to, and I believe we all deserve to love these summer tacos as much as I do.

This salad is one of my all time favorites - especially in the summer when I want something light and refreshing. It was created by my cousin who’s an esthetician [the absolute best] and I think in her words this salad is “skin food!” If you’re ever having one of those days where you’re just feeling kind of “blah,” this salad will be your new best friend.

Salads are kind of my thing. I love all kinds of salads, and I normally go overboard with them, but sometimes simplicity is just SO NICE. This salad is just that. It’s simple to make but doesn’t lack in flavor. It’s the perfect salad to pair with a main entree or to load up on for a healthy lunch.

Here’s the deal. I love mayonnaise. And when I say I love it, that’s kind of an understatement. When I was a kid I would eat mayo on slices of cheese like it was being taken away from me a moment later. Also, don’t ask me if I liked mayonnaise or miracle whip better - because I’ll tell you both.

I set out to make traditional tabbouleh, but somewhere along the way I got bored and decided to spice it up and make my own version of tabbouleh. So, here it is!

The addition of black lentils makes this salad more filling than you would expect, and the nutty taste of tahini is sure to impress. Give this one a try and let me know what you think :)
