This dip is wonderful. It is creamy, satisfying, full of nutrition, and the kelp granules adds iodine and minerals without making it taste any different. It’s also great topped with spirulina crunchies for added texture! This recipe is from The Milky Way – The Ultimate Guide to Breastfeeding on the Raw Food Diet. Creamy Kelp […]

I love fresh, raw soups when the weather starts to warm up. This one was featured in my book The Milky Way – The Ultimate Guide to Breastfeeding on the Raw Food Diet.

{Recipe} Flavorful Vegan Pesto With Walnuts & Hemp Seeds {Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo}
I love Mediterranean flavors – basil, tomatoes, and other fresh vegetables are staples for me when the weather warms up, and I am known to make pesto by the pound to eat right away or freeze for later. In this vegan pesto recipe, I am using hemp seeds instead of pine nuts to increase the […]
{Recipe} Asian-Inspired Rice Bowl with Greens & Kimchi {Vegan, Gluten Free}
I don’t know anything about traditional Asian cuisine. Now that that’s out of the way, let me also say that I’m a huge, huge fan of traditional ferments like kimchi, and you all already know my love of sturdy leafy greens. This is a bowl I make often because it is filling, full of probiotics […]

{Recipe} Gluten Free Black Bean Burgers {Vegetarian, Gluten Free}
These burgers are awesome placed on a juicy tomato slice on a bed of lettuce, and topped with avocado! They also keep well in the oven if you need to make them early (I’ve kept them for an hour at 160 F and they were still great). Make sure to not overcrowd the pan when […]
{Recipe} Super Flavorful Slow Cooked Ratatouille with Quinoa {Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo}
My husband was bringing so many zucchinis from the garden that I was running out of ideas to use them. I decided to create a twist on traditional ratatouille. This one is slow cooked, has chickpeas in it, and develops an addictive flavor with the addition of smoked paprika. I couldn’t stop myself from getting […]
{Recipe} Chickpea Kale Patties {Vegetarian, Gluten Free}
A cross between a tender bean patty and a flavorful falafel, these patties are tender and tasty enough to please picky palates, but sturdy enough to dip into a luscious tahini dressing. My secret weapon when making patties is this nifty set of measuring cups by Cuisinart. They aren’t sold anymore on Amazon, but if […]
