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 …
Here’s a little secret- every muffin recipe can easily be a sweetbread recipe, and vice versa. So if you want to turn this recipe into twelve mouth-watering muffins instead of eight slices of heavenly pumpkin bread goodness, no one will ever know the difference. You can also use my Best Pumpkin Muffin recipe for pumpkin bread… but …
