It’s the perfect nourishing meal after a workout as it’s packed with 29 grams of plant-based protein. Both tempeh and tofu are made from fermented soybeans. Yet with tempeh, the whole soybean is used giving it a firmer texture that holds together better when cooking. I’ve kept the toppings simple to let the marinated tempeh shine, yet you can load this up with veggies just like my Mediterranean Fala ..read more

NEW! This easy smoothie will brighten your day! It’s made with just 4 ingredients + a dash of cinnamon at the end, and it uses a fun seasonal fruit called a persimmon.

Naturally I had to come up with a fruit smoothie reci ..read more

I always knew what I was bringing and have since perfected dishes like my Bright Berry Salad and these Sweet Pot ..read more

NEW! These are not the mushy, tasteless Brussels sprouts of your childhood, I promise. Instead, feast on some oven-roasted Brussels sprouts that are perfectly blackened and have a caramelized glaze that adds a touch of sweetness. Paired with some roasted walnuts, they turn into more than just a side dish. If you’ve ever shared a meal with me then you know I don’t do soft, watery veggies. My Skillet Green Beans are perfectly blacked and my Roasted Cabbage Wedges and still crunchy. These sprouts are the same kind of deal, easy to make and 100% a crowd-pleaser.

Don’t get me wrong. I love pumpkin and Fall flavors and spices, yet most foods containing pumpkin spice are overly sweet and just not great. I do love how versatile pumpkin is in both sweet an ..read more
