This recipe for breakfast quinoa power bowls is actually one of my old creations that I decided to revamp, making it easier, quicker, and just as tasty!

Last week my mom sent me a recipe from The Kitchn for Overnight Oat Cookies. She wanted me to play around with the ingredients to see if I could find a healthier alternative, because I have to say, those cookies are not breakfast friendly, despite the author’s claims. Instead of using a cup and a […]
There are no two ingredients that bridge the gap between seasons more perfectly, than peaches and corn. And as we sit on the cusp of Autumn, I thought these vegan peach cornbread donuts would do well to celebrate this strange, hot, impactful summer.

If you’re like me and are a little hazy on what exactly “paleo” means in regards to food, don’t worry! In this case, paleo pumpkin granola means NO OATS, or any grains for that matter. Yes, this paleo pumpkin granola is made purely from nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes. And let me tell you, I […]
This recipe for raw vegan coconut cashew cheesecake was inspired by a close friend of mine who decided to eat raw this summer. While I have no reason to partake in this diet, I was super excited to experiment with some dishes for his visit. And I am so glad I did!
As the weather once again hits the high 90’s here in LA, I turn to my favorite frozen treat. These vegan coconut acai popsicles are creamy, packed with healthy fats, and anti-oxidants. I made some homemade granola and sprinkled it on top of some melted dark chocolate for an extra crunch; plus the cinnamon in […]
