These cookies are flour-less, oil-free and naturally sweetened! It's also filled with antioxidants, which protect your cells, and they're a good source of plant protein.  It's one of the healthiest cookies out there, and it won't let your sweet tooth down!

I told you about the dough I made that I call GG Dessert Dip (basically like eating cookie dough without dairy or added sugar). Well, I just turned that into cookies and they're so good you won't believe their actually healthy!  (more…)

Here they are… Even Cheesier Cauli-Tots! 

After I made Cheesy Cauli-Tots, I thought they'd be good if I made them a little cheesier. They turned out fantastic! Out of the two recipes for Cauli-Tots I like this one the best. (more…)

By eating a plant-based diet you're not only helping yourself, but the environment & animals. Since I changed my food choices, I started thinking about other areas of my life I could improve like my clothing choices.   (more…)

If you like my Chocolate Cherry Smoothie than I think you'll like this one too! For me, this Chocolate Cranberry Smoothie trumps the Cherry one. I was a little nervous about it at first because raw cranberries are pretty sour & tart. I've only blended them with cucumber and others berries, never in a smoothie. I wanted to incorporate them more into my diet because they are found to suppress the growth of cancer cells more than any other fruit (see study here, starts at 3 min mark). If you use foods as your preventives like I do, this is one to add to the list! (more…)

This is a healthy side dish to add to your next breakfast, lunch or dinner. These Cheesy Cauliflower Tots are delicious and a great substitute to regular tater tots.  (more…)

Last week I accidentally picked up an extra can of sweet potato puree so I decided to put a spin on my Pumpkin Energy Balls. I'm so glad I did because these turned out scrumptious! I love coming up with recipes like this because it adds an important vegetable into your diet, but tastes like dessert! Yes, there is sweet potato casserole that is like eating dessert, but this recipe is quick to make and no baking required!  It's great to give to kids (and adults) who are normally picky about eating veggies too! Just don't tell them what's in it! :) (more…)

Who is going to the Farmers Market this weekend? Tangerines are in season & I'll be picking some up! The best time to eat tangerines is November through January in the USA. They're a little smaller than oranges with a juicy, sweet taste on the inside. They contain essential nutrients and minerals such as beta-carotene, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and many others.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Well, tomorrow that is! I'm so thankful for all of you who follow my blog, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook! Also giving thanks to my family, friends and all that the big man above has done in my life the past couple of months. I'm  grateful I have a supportive network of people who are always willing to try out my recipes even if they're not plant-based eaters. :)

I will be making this recipe for breakfast tomorrow morning. It's a healthy breakfast that will keep you full to prevent snacking before the big meal later in the day. (more…)

This Thanksgiving it will be just my dad and me. He is now vegetarian as I'm helping him phase into a completely plant-based lifestyle like myself. I love to get up in the morning and watch the Macy's Day Parade! First I make an easy, but satisfying breakfast like my Chocolate Cherry Protein smoothie or Almond Butter & Banana Oats. I want something that will hold me over for the big meal later in the day.  (more…)

Mac and Cheese was another favorite dish of mine on Thanksgiving when I was growing up. This year I decided to make something that will satisfy the “cheesy” craving, but has way more nutritional value (and no dairy, of course). I present to you the Spaghetti Squash “Cheesy” Mushroom Casserole! Another great dish I'm adding to my holiday eats. Tomorrow I will post my Thanksgiving Game Plan with cooking schedule.  (more…)
