Earth Day, i.e. that friendly little reminder that we planet dwellers have a responsibility to our home, kind of snuck up on me today! Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had been planning to do a post highlighting some of the important ways we as humans can leave less of a King Kong-sized … Continue reading Smoky Whole Roasted Cauliflower: Celebrate Earth Day with a Planet-Shaped Plant-Based Meal

Quick “Pickled” Jicama with Ginger and Lime: A Healthy, Tangy, Crunchy Snack, Side, or Condiment
When I brought home a lovely pachyrhizus erosus (a.k.a. jicama) a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't sure just what I was going to do with it. Not because I didn't have ideas, but because I couldn't decide which one to try. Baked jicama fries? Raw jicama fries? Roasted jicama? Spicy raw jicama chips? Stir-fry? Jicama … Continue reading Quick “Pickled” Jicama with Ginger and Lime: A Healthy, Tangy, Crunchy Snack, Side, or Condiment
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies (vegan, oil-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free)
It's a rainy, gloomy, kind of morning here in the Great Lakes State. The sort of day that makes you want to pull the blankets over your head and go back to bed.

Roasted Carrot and Garlic Hummus with Sriracha
This hummus is the result of one of those spur of the moment, unplanned, sort of "stars aligning in the cosmos" sort of recipe creations. I hadn't planned on posting a hummus recipe today, especially since it was just a few weeks ago that I posted my yummy green-hued Spinach and Artichoke hummus recipe. However, after whipping … Continue reading Roasted Carrot and Garlic Hummus with Sriracha
Salted Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs
Growing up, my favorite treat in the Easter basket was, hands down, Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Oh. My. Word. I LOVED those things. Somehow the egg version was even better than the peanut butter cups. I suspect it's because there is less "ridgy" chocolate perimeter, and more peanut butter filling. Although I plan to … Continue reading Salted Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs
Radish, Pea, and Mint Quinoa Salad with Zesty Lemon Dressing
That's right, I'm jumping right from heavenly cupcakes, to healthful veggies. It has been far too long since I posted a salad here. Like, 5 months too long. Actually, I've only ever posted one measly salad on this site (a dandy, though... my fall favorite, Warm Smoky-Maple Kale Salad with Apples and Sweet Potatoes). Well, … Continue reading Radish, Pea, and Mint Quinoa Salad with Zesty Lemon Dressing

Pear Vanilla Mint Smoothie
A couple of weeks ago, while shopping for groceries, I spotted a big, beautiful bunch of fresh mint, and I felt compelled to buy it. I don't normally find it in huge bunches like that, and I got really excited thinking of all kinds of things I wanted to make with it. My favorite way to … Continue reading Pear Vanilla Mint Smoothie
Coconut Tahini Cacao Energy Bites with Dried Cherries (No Food Processor Required!)
Signs of spring are popping up everywhere I look. The snow has finally melted, ambitious little green shoots are sprouting up, and I've been digging through my closet, banishing every last wool/heavy/dark/drab item from my wardrobe. Yes, spring is here, and it's the perfect time for spring cleaning, new beginnings, and finally getting around to … Continue reading Coconut Tahini Cacao Energy Bites with Dried Cherries (No Food Processor Required!)
