A friend of mine casually mentioned the other day that she makes sweet potatoes every morning in her Instant Pot, and I admit I scoffed to myself. “Every morning?” I thought, “Psh, I make mine once a week and they’re always available in the fridge.” But… since I just got this Instant Pot… I thought, …
I sometimes have lower back pain, and this is my go-to breakfast when I want to soothe the inflammation in my back. This is also great if you’re a little sore from working out (I also love marshmallow root for that- which is in Throat Coat tea, and available as a supplement) or if you’ve …
Santa brought me an Instant Pot for Christmas, and I’ve been happily trying all my favorite recipes in it. It’s so satisfying to get a deep, rich, “all day cook” taste out of this little machine after just a few minutes of cooking. I love how the flavors of all my herbs and spices permeate …
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn recommends an oil-free, vegan diet in his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease . In addition to the great recipes in his accompanying cookbook, The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook: Over 125 Delicious, Life-Changing, Plant-Based Recipes, here are a few recipes that meet Dr. Esselstyn’s guidelines that we make almost every week, …
My Aunt Cathy sent me a version of this recipe a few weeks ago and said she has added things to it but it just doesn’t seem right… it needs something to make it “just right”. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. I LOVE messing with recipes. I love trying to figure out what’s missing, and knowing my Aunt …
My dear friend gave me this Le Cruset dutch oven a week ago, and I’ve been dreaming of all the things I can make it in every night since. It looks gorgeous on my stove. It cooks beautifully. I may have fantasized about hugging it while I sleep. Ahem. Anyway. I used it for this …
Time for an embarrassing secret: the first time I made this, I forgot the sugar, and it was TERRIBLE. You should have seen the look on my daughters’ faces when they tried a bite 😂 I am all about cutting out sugar when it’s possible, but this is too perfect to mess with. I’ve included …
I never thought I would hoard soup. I mean, who does that? Apparently, me. This is my FAVORITE SOUP OF ALL TIME. In fact, I will make dinner for everyone else the next day just to have the leftovers for this all to myself. Clearly, I have issues. Of all the soups I make (and that’s …
These burgers are my go-to recipe for vegan patties, and they smell as good as they taste. Feel free to substitute another type of bean for the pinto beans- I’ll often use black beans instead. The quinoa adds extra protein to the meal, which I often prefer versus just rice- though I’ve used rice when …
Oh. My. Gosh. When I need a chocolate fix, these are my absolute favorite. No flour. No oil. Just pure delicious. Want to know a secret? Sometimes I use pinto beans instead, if that’s what I have in my fridge. They work just as well, because the cocoa powder permeates everything to make it deliciously …
