I know I already did 5 days of oatmeal recently, so you may be sick of hearing about oats. But oats are so healthy and one of my favorite foods. I love to find every way to incorporate more into my day. These snack cookies are perfect. They are not too sweet, but so tasty. […]
My Background with Veganism I have always been the type of person you might stereotypically think would be vegetarian or vegan. I love animals, I’m a bit eccentric, I practice yoga and observe the principle of ahimsa or non-violence, and I’ve had many vegan and vegetarian friends. But I have also always wanted to be […]
Last week I showed you one way to incorporate cruciferous vegetables in a lazy cabbage soup. This week I show you another delicious way to get in your daily cruciferous serving with broccoli! This oil-free, mayo-free, light broccoli slaw is a perfect snack or side. I find the sour tangy flavor addictive, but there are […]

Berries are some of the most nutritious fruits out there and they are so tasty. I try to eat them every […]
It’s day 3 of no repeat oatmeal week! Peach cobbler was one of my favorite desserts as a kid. So of course I had to make a breakfast out of it! If you cook your steel cut oats from scratch on the stovetop and add peaches they get really soft and sweet like cobbler. But […]
