Need a little mid-week pick-me-up? I gotchu. One of the things I love about blogging and recipe creation is solving your meal and snack time rut problems.

The name of the game this week: healthy, portable, cutlery-free, security scan-safe snacking that tastes better than anything you’ll find in an airport. One of the recent recipe requests I got was from a reader named Marie. She asked for a few sweet but healthy snacks she could pack for an upcoming trip, and her […]

I’ve always been a planner, so in true planner fashion, I’ve been testing out some tasty (and healthy) sweet treats to celebrate with. If you follow any raw vegan foodie accounts on Instagram, I’m sure you’re […]
A few weeks ago one of my teammates at work returned from the holiday break, declaring it the month of Veguary. In other words, she decided she’d kick off the year by following a vegan for January. Being the foodie and advocate for vegetables that I am, I figured I’d support her in the best […]
Question: Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? My answer: Not yet. But as of this Friday, it’ll be done and dusted, with just the wrapping left to do. Hooray!
