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 […]

{Recipe} Decadent Chocolate Truffles {Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo}
I created these truffles with my husband, a chocolate lover and connoisseur if there ever was one! I created the mix, he tasted it, and helped me roll the truffles into their familiar round shape. He recommends using a melon baller, and scraping the batter along the edges of the bowl so it’s easier to […]
{Recipe} Soul-Warming Potato & Pea Soup {Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo}
This soup is so easy, and delicious too. Awesome for quick lunches, or lazy dinners. And what’s even better is that it’s full of flavor — I topped it with Bubbies sauerkraut one time, and couldn’t stop freaking out at how amazing it was! I like to make it during the morning nap, and blend […]
{Recipe} Joanna Steven’s “Famous” Chocolate Muffins {Gluten Free, Paleo}
Chocolate Muffins. Need I say more? These tasty morsels are packed with protein and good fats, but are moist, tender, and bursting with gooey chocolate chips throughout. They take minutes to make, and will stay fresh for 2-3 days in a tightly sealed container. When I first released this recipe to the Nourished Village community, […]
{Recipe} Addictive Veggie Loaded Shepherd’s Pie {Vegan, Gluten Free}
We love make ahead meals around here. Well, I do, anyway. I’m in charge of all the cooking, but don’t want to rush making dinner while my children are losing it after a long day of hard playing. What I often end up doing, then, is cook meals during a nap or a free moment, […]
{Recipe } Equinox Spice Latte {Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo, Raw Option}
A few years ago, my friend Kristen of the popular blog Kristen’s Raw posted a picture of her daughter with a nice cup of something they called “Equinox Latte.” It sounded amazing, and I craved one right away. Since flying to Arizona was out of the question, I pulled some spices out of the cupboard […]
{Recipe} Chocolate Egg Custard Chia Pudding {Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegetarian}
Chia puddings play such an important role in our diet. They are super rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which help develop a strong and healthy brain while warding off depression and anxiety, and they’re packed with calcium, protein, and other important nutrients. But you can’t tell your kids to eat them because they’re good […]
{Recipe} Sturdy & Tender Greens with Piment d’Espelette
Summer is full of tender baby lettuces and other sweet leaves that need nothing more than a quick toss in a little olive oil, and perhaps a little garlic. But come winter, sturdy greens like kale, collard greens, and other dark leafies steal the show. Delicious, flavorful, and super nutritious, I love eating them daily. […]
{Recipe} Healing & Soothing Ginger Tea with Honey
]Is someone coming down with a cold? Quick! Grab the elderberry tincture, and give it to everyone in the house. And, make this warming, soothing, healing tea. Fragrant with freshly boiled ginger, and sweet with the addition of Manuka honey, it’s a favorite with everyone including the kids. Add vitamin C and lemon juice for […]
{Recipe} Gluten Free Apple Walnut Muffins {Gluten Free, Dairy Free}
How many of these can my children eat? Probably the whole batch in a couple of days days. They love them. I love that they are easy to make and everything can be rinsed under warm water and put in the dishwasher. Wipe the counter, you’re done with both the muffins and the kitchen clean […]
