This beloved classic is full of flavor and has a taste and texture very similar to traditional sloppy joes. But, it's even better! That's because lentils are a great source of plant-based protein with little to no fat and lots of fiber. Serve it on […]
Soft, chewy, chocolately…these cookie bars are layered with cookie butter for delectable flavor! Cookie butter is a a spread like Nutella made from Biscoff cookies. Full of spice flavour but very buttery and slightly sweet– cookie butter is positively addictive!
When it’s hot outside but you want your oatmeal, these blended overnight oats will hit the spot! They are cool, creamy and super easy to prepare. Just add everything to your blender, pop it in the fridge and enjoy breakfast in the morning!

You’ll enjoy these tender, maple-infused oatmeal muffins, which are not only vegan but gluten-free as well! The regular-size muffins make a quick breakfast, or you can make them mini-sized for a sweet, healthy little treat.
If you have no qualms with gluten, I have instructions for making them with regular flour, which yields a fluffier muffin. Keep in mind that oat flour may not offer the texture of regular flour in baked goods, but provides extra fiber and nutrition!
This is a variation of my Nutty Coconut Granola which is very popular in my household. I’ve added fragrant warming spices to give it a holiday twist. It makes a healthy breakfast or snack and is absolutely delicious! You can easily swap out the nuts and seeds for whatever nuts or seeds you desire. I like to layer it with fruit and yogurt for a scrumptious breakfast treat, or you can pour plant-based milk over it or just eat it by itself, it’s so good!
Crunchy, candied popcorn makes a delicious treat and a wonderful gift! Popcorn covered in a rich, buttery, hardened caramel sauce– who could resist?
This delicious recipe looks like a perfect side dish, but it also can stand in as a main dish meal due to its high protein content. One cup of tofu boasts 20 grams of protein, while quinoa has 8 grams plus 5 grams of fiber. Impressive! Prepared with meaty mushrooms, fresh herbs, nutty toasted quinoa, and other aromatics, it’s nutritious and very satisfying.
A delicious and healthy way to use up all your summer harvest! Veggies and herbs are roasted in olive oil until they’re rich and buttery soft.
This delicious sandwich features all the flavors of the beloved BLT but with smoky mushrooms standing in for the bacon!
Remember this classic comfort soup from your childhood? This is a somewhat grown-up version, using leeks and dill to lend a unique aromatic flavor. It’s so easy to make, and incredibly healthy, since split peas are loaded with protein and fiber– and very low in fat.
My soup pictured here used some yellow split peas so it doesn’t have a true green color like the classic, but it tastes just as good (actually much better in my opinion).
Serve with a crusty loaf of bread and enjoy!
This simple yet scrumptious appetizer looks and tastes like something you’d find in a bakery, yet it’s made easy with two store-bought items– roasted red peppers and puff pastry. A zesty walnut-red pepper filling is tucked inside flaky puff pastry and shaped into an attractive knot shape – makes the perfect appetizer for your next dinner party or family get-together!
You would never guess these rich, fudgy brownies are dairy-free, egg-free, and even gluten-free, made with whole ingredients!
This soup is wonderful for so many reasons– most importantly it’s delicious, but it’s also healthy, filling and so easy to make!
Cabbage is not only loaded with fiber, but it also has a surprising amount of Vitamin C, along with many other important vitamins. We’re talking about a nutrient dense soup here!
This recipe makes a lot of soup, easily about 6-8 servings, but it freezes well, or you could halve the recipe. Enjoy!
These delicious little bars are a hit with both adults and children– light and crispy, not overly sweet and loaded with peanut butter, chocolate and rice crispies– what’s not to like?
This delectable pastry treat uses puff pastry baked in a muffin tin– thus the word Puffin! Flaky, sweet & filled with cinnamon apples, this bakery-style dessert uses just a few ingredients. Yum!
This is a classic Italian soup which really is a merger of a soup and a stew– what I call a “stewp”. It’s chock full of pasta, beans and veggies– making a wonderful one-pot meal. Delicious, healthy and best of all, this one is completely plant-based!
