Raw Banana Cream Tartelettes
Not sure what to do with that ripe bunch of bananas sitting on the counter? I typically peel them, then slice into coins and place in the freezer for later use in my smoothies.

Gluten Free Vegan Peach Upside Down Cake

Using my love of the upside down cake as…
Anti-Inflammatory Peach Smoothie
Today’s smoothie of the day is all about getting more anti-inflammatory foods into our diet.

Reducing inflammation is basically the…
Heirloom Orca Bean Bowls
Consuming a variety of plant foods increases energy and assists in the challenge of mindful eating. By experimenting with new combinations of foods and flavors, our active minds tend to slow down and refocus on the present. This active presence wakes up sleepy taste buds as we investigate each new bite. How many of us are stuck…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers
Vegan and gluten-free cookies don’t have to be boring. Our Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers are an updated twist to the old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipe your grandmother made.
