This marinade is really easy and it is the spice combination in it that makes it so delicious. The cardamom, cumin, garlic and black pepper combo work together really well. It is a little exotic and different and when they are blended together the spices can be hard to differentiate, to pick out what they are individually to someone who doesn’t know.  These are great in nori rolls, on pizza, sandwiches, salads or just eaten by themselves. I always have a hard time not eating them all before I want to use them and for this reason always make extra.  || Read more

Every weekend Mom and I make a big pot of soup together. It’s part of getting Mom back into and comfortable cooking and working in the kitchen again.. so it’s kind of a therapy thing. But cooking is a great bonding activity to do together so it is nourishing in different ways and has multiple benefits.  Mom sometimes tends to lean towards comfort foods these days and this is one of those recipes. I would have left out the potatoes and substituted other vegetables and you can do that if you like. That’s the beauty of soups, they are very adaptable. This recipe is a real comfort soup, but still very healthy, vegan and it is delicious! Perfect for these cooler fall days!  || Read more

Collard leaves make a great base for wraps. They are big and flexible, strong enough to hold lots of fillings together and do not have a strong taste. I would rather eat a big green leaf any day than a carb-loaded flour based tortilla. The nutrition skyrockets in comparison and after you try this you will see how delicious it is, as well as how clean and energetic you feel after eating it, as opposed to heavy and bloated. My favorite filling is a nutmeat patty and lots of great toppings. The taco wrap version is one of my favorites and here I will show you exactly how to make it. || Read more

These nutmeat patties are delicious and filling too! They are versatile and I like to eat them in a number of different ways. They are great in a wrap or sandwich or great crumbled in top of zucchetti and marinara sauce. Sometimes I even make them into round balls, so they are like meatballs. I love them crumbled on top of a big salad or just eat them on the side with any meal. || Read more

These are the cookies that I eat almost every morning. I think that one of these and a green smoothie makes a perfect breakfast! ..and this is what I do almost every morning lately. These cookies are made with SunWarrior vanilla protein but you could experiment and try making them with your favorite type. I have only tried using SunWarrior with this recipe and know that they are fabulous made with it.   || Read more

This salad is surprisingly delicious. Surprising because it has 2 ingredients that are not so appealing to a lot of people, both of which are very good for you! One is Nappa cabbage which actually has a very light crisp taste, not bad at all..just being in the cabbage family it gets a bad rap and the other is cilantro, which turns some people off.. but before I go further, let me tell you that the cilantro gets lost in the salad and many who don’t normally like cilantro love it in here. Cilantro is also incredible for you. It is one of the best detoxifying leafy greens and is known for its special ability to draw heavy metals out of the body. We want this and this is a great way to get it!!  || Read more

The date and nut pie crust is to raw pies what a pastry crust is to cooked pies. But as with most raw foods, it is made with abundantly nutritious ingredients. Instead of flour and shortening this pie crust is made with mineral rich dates and nuts, all loaded with the healthy fats and sugars that our bodies need to work optimally. || Read more
