This time of year, chocolate peppermint desserts are so seductive. From classic Peppermint Bark to Starbuck’s beverages – they’re all calling my name.

But I try to dodge every one of those commercially prepared treats – since I also try … Read more

Apples, apple cider, apple donuts…these flavors inspired this Apple Butter Oatmeal … Read more

Yet it’s blissfully guilt-free, dairy-free, and even sugar free, too! Amazing really.

I use a Nespresso machine for the espresso shot, but if you don’t make espresso … Read more


Summer Strawberry Peach Crisp

Before I begin to describe how delicious this is, let me say this recipe is completely inspired by Chef AJ’s Strawberry Clafoutis! : )

This is my version, without baked banana slices. Instead, I am adding peaches, plus cinnamon … Read more

Just finishing up the recipe for these Fresh Pineapple Shakes! 🍍
Join us this Sunday, June 4th! I’ll be doing a live cooking demo with Michele Gallo at NOON! And look for my table where I’ll be selling and signing copies of “The Plant-Based for Life Cookbook” all day long! @vegmichigan 💚
We just spent 3 nights in a hotel in Traverse City and stayed completely oil free WFPB - with homemade food - for every meal while we were there. It took just a little bit of planning. Brought my @zavoramerica pressure cooker, to prepare the best-ever mashed potatoes 🥔 plus @zavoramerica induction burner and sauté pan, to make sautéed greens 🥬 (with a shallot and riced cauliflower). Also brought with us leftover cooked whole wheat pasta and homemade pasta sauce 🍝along with frozen batch-prepped red lentil and black bean soup that I had stored in my @soupercubes (which also helped keep everything cold in the cooler on our drive too). We just mixed and matched all of those ingredients plus @foodforlifebaking Ezekiel English muffins, @kitehillfoods cream cheese and lots of fresh fruit for the most delicious combinations! Shout out to @zestplantbasedkitchen for their awesome breakfast/lunch to take with us for the drive back home to Ann Arbor!l 💚
