I'll start by saying, I've never had actual fish tuna. Not raw on sushi, not in a can, nada. No tuna. Even before I went vegetarian nearly a decade ago and vegan about 5 years ago, it never appealed to me. But when shopping at Whole Foods one day, my mom was picking out a canned tuna, and my eyes went straight to a can that read "Plant Based Toona." I thought, what? I picked up the can and started reading every single word. It appeared there was this vegan tuna alternative in

Are you a fan of kimchi? That fermented, slightly off smelling cabbage that comes in a jar and looks extremely spicy? Yeah, that stuff. Don't judge a book by its cover! Kimchi has a super fresh taste and is a great crunchy and flavorful top to so many types of dishes. There's also a heap of varieties, or you could even try making your own to get it just right to your taste. It's gut friendly, usually pretty inexpensive, and lasts for ages because well, it's fermented! I made

You've seen them called Buddha Bowls, Nourish Bowls, Variety Bowls and more. These colorful bowls have taken the health food scene by storm, plastered all over Pinterest, Instagram, and on the menus of cafes. When I first was seeing these beautiful bowls on the internet, I often asked myself, "but how can I make one at home?" or "how do I make it look as pretty?!"

I absolutely love pumpkin and squash of all varieties, and when they're in season, their flavors are just next level. They're so versatile, and take well to so many different seasonings. Pumpkin is easily incorporated into a b

I'm not sure there's anything more fun than eating colorful food. Okay, well maybe there are some things, but eating colorful food is definitely high up on my list. So I decided to jazz up my usual hummus recipe and throw in some roasted beetroots to make it gorgeously pink! Are you a hummus fan? I feel like it's really hit or miss for some people. But trust me, if you have really good hummus, you'll get into it. I was a hummus liker, but then I went to Israel and became a hu

That's a mouthful, isn't it? At least it's an extremely tasty mouthful! These muffins were so fun to create and even more fun to eat. I love a classic nut butter and jam combination, and to incorporate them into muffins just seemed like a natural thing to do. The raspberry jam is incredibly simple and quick to make. A good friend showed me the way, and I'm forever grateful! It's a much healthier alternative to the sugar-ridden preserves or jams that are on the grocery store s
