I love eating pretty food, vibrant food, colorful food. I can’t help it. I think it’s because it just feels good to eat the rainbow. I know that, for me, colorful food is just more fun and more satisfying than white or tan food. Knowing that, I love making myself these pink overnight oats. I […]

Shredding tofu is kind of my new obsession. I’ve tried it to make vegan taco filling, and it was phenomenal. It got me thinking that I could make it other ways, too. Since it kind of looks like hash browns, I thought that it might turn out well if I cooked it the same way […]

This isn’t so much of a recipe, as it is an idea. It’s so simple that I struggle to call it a recipe. It’s the perfect Fall or Winter breakfast to fill you up with delicious whole food on a chilly morning. The toppings are completely interchangeable with your toppings of choice. I commonly add […]

I love these mini cheesecakes. The chocolate pairs so well with the coconut milk and becomes so savory. The crust is so delicious, it’s practically a dessert all on its own. Plus, I love that I can make a beautiful dessert without even having to turn my oven on. Even though this is a frozen […]
