Birthday parties and other celebrations are often an excuse for unhealthy food. And as a plant-based family, we've been to events where the crudité is the only option for us. But a plant-based party is easy, and can appeal to anyone! How do I know? Because I keep throwing them and this one was the BIGGEST hit yet! We were the ONLY plant based family there yet EVERYONE was happy with the food (and … [Read more...]
Lemon Bite Cookies! (Vegan & Gluten Free)
When we got back from our east coast trip my toddler was still on summer break from preschool. I had a list of fun things to do with her like making frozen chocolate banana pops (recipe soon!), planting more veggies & herbs (our last crop fried in the hot SoCal sun while we were away!), swimming in the pool, going to the beach and... having a lemonade stand! It was her first one ever! The … [Read more...]
Mock Tuna Salad (Vegan & Gluten Free)
This is the one recipe I've made the MOST of this summer! I just can't get enough! I recently visited my parents in NJ and my mother said it was better than "actual" tuna salad! (I think that's saying something from someone who eats fish and is not vegan!) She absolutely loved it! I had mock tuna salad for the first time at an LA cafe this past spring and I loved it so much that I had to make … [Read more...]
Earl Grey Shortbread (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I've been partnering with Hynt Beauty to bring you yummy recipes that feature their amazing, organic plant-based ingredients. This recipe is all about Bergamot! Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) is actually a cross between a lemon and an orange, and has a very citrus-y scent. It's best known for being the main flavor in Earl Grey tea, but besides its distinctive aroma, bergamot oil is amazing for your … [Read more...]
Strawberry Chia Jam (vegan & Gluten Free)
Jam is delicious on muffins, crackers, almond butter & jelly sandwiches (or sunbutter/pumpkin seed butter if you can't do nuts) and more, but did you know most store-bought jam has sugar or corn syrup added? But not to worry! It's also amazingly simple to make your own! Check out my cooking video to see just how easy it is! Hope you enjoy! PS - this goes great on my almond pulp … [Read more...]
Strawberry Beet Fruit Leather (Vegan & Gluten Free)
If you are raising a plant-based or health-focused family, it's great to have a fun snack so the kids don't feel like they are missing out on something their peers and friends get. If you ever looked at the ingredients on fruit roll-ups or fruit-by-the-foot, you might not feel so good about giving it to your child. But the good news is that it's super easy to make it yourself! This recipe only has … [Read more...]
Apricot Coconut Balls (Vegan & Gluten Free)
They may taste like a dessert but with all the fiber from the oats and coconut and protein from the pepitas (pumpkin seeds), they are secretly a healthy treat! My toddler devours these - she calls them cookies, and I don't mind at all! I'm using dried apricots, which actually have higher levels of fiber, potassium and antioxidants than fresh fruit because they are more concentrated. If you … [Read more...]
Green Pancakes (vegan & gluten free)
One of our favorite weekend breakfasts is these pancakes. They're yummy with strawberry jam or a fruit topping, and are vegan, gluten free, tasty, fluffy and filling! They are also an easy way to get a bunch of spinach in to my daughter! They are also loaded with fiber from pumpkin and oats, protein from the oats and chia seeds and nut butter topping... and greens from the spinach... it's … [Read more...]
