PEACE ~ LOVE ~ COOKING
We made a batch of these last week and they lasted less than 24 hours. So, I made a double batch two days later since we had been gifted a GIGANTIC zucchini (image below) that our friends grew in their garden. The second batch did not last much longer. The moral…these muffins are irresistible! When […]
Val is amazing! Smart, beautiful, athletic, and a genius in the kitchen. Thanks to her, this recipe is a regular on our menu. Stuff it in tacos and top with salsa and avocado, serve on top of your favorite lettuce or cabbage (we love red cabbage) for a salad, or serve as a “dip” to […]
We LOVE chocolate and this smoothie is a sneaky and delicious way to eat a healthy dose! Dark chocolate is a powerful source of antioxidants and some say it could even improve brain function! Yay, chocolate. The hemp seeds and nut butter are excellent protein sources while the bananas provide a nice boost of potassium, […]
Shabbat Shalom! This is the easiest vegan challah recipe. We adapted this from a favorite soft pretzel recipe we found. Fresh-baked challah in less than 90 minutes and, most of this time is letting the dough rise and baking time. Amazing!

My favorite breakfast! Yes…lentils for breakfast. Red lentils cook up quickly and are filled with protein, iron, folate (aka Vitamin B9), and potassium. Start your day with this satisfying and energy-boosting dish! This recipe is a complete meal on its own and easy to modify too…please see the recipe notes for variations. Once cooked up […]
Hello, super berry! Blueberries are high in antioxidants and contain a variety of great vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Vitamin K1, potassium, and manganese (an essential mineral). They are anti-inflammatory and known to lower your risk of heart disease and cancer. And, they are DELICIOUS! This smoothie boasts just over 15g of protein too! […]
