‘Tis the season for soups! And who doesn’t love corn? This is a creamy, satisfying, cold weather chowder made with frozen organic corn, and it is delish! Make sure you get organic corn, since it is a highly genetically modified crop.

This recipe was given to me by a good friend in Tucson. She brought me a small container of it and I’m embarrassed to admit how quickly it was gone. I basically inhaled it. You know, it has never crossed my mind to put chili powder in salsa – and I don’t know why not. It’s incredible! I made a few minor tweaks, and it is A.MA.ZING.
This is the perfect condiment for mustard and spice lovers. I first tried it on a vegan chick’n biscuit, and let me tell you…it was divine. It would be excellent for making jackfruit barbecue, or soy barbecue, or with Gardein Crispy Tenders, as a dip for regular or sweet potato fries…the possibilities are endless!
If you want to have something a little sweet and a little savory, this is the perfect snack or dessert! The combination of the sweetness of the chocolate, the savoriness of the pumpkin seeds, and the sea salt is just plain divine. And hey – it has pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate, so it’s health food, right? (At least that’s what I tell myself.) Plus, it’s so easy to make! Be careful though – it’s addictive.
Yes, I am a Southern girl, and one of my favorite side dishes is collard greens. I love them with a little apple cider vinegar. And they aren’t just tasty – they are SO good for you! They support detoxification, they are a great source of vitamins A, C, and K (and many other nutrients), they’re rich in soluble fiber, and they have strong antioxidant properties. I almost always have some in my fridge, and this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy them! (This recipe was inspired by Whole Foods’ smoky collard greens.)
The beginning of a new year offers a time for reflection…for self-evaluation…for hope…for healing…for opportunity…and far more. Regarding resolutions, mine has been the same for the last decade or so: be as decadent as possible, living as fully as possible, without being too poor or too fat. So far, so good! Happy New Year and may these words amuse you, incite you, and inspire you to live your best year yet.
Who doesn’t love the smells of the holidays? The hot cider, the fresh cut Christmas tree, the cookies, the sage stuffing, the fire…what a wonderful time of year! This easy DIY holiday room freshener is inviting, uplifting, and will welcome all who enter your home this holiday season. (And I promise you’ll enjoy it, too!)
Want to know one of the most common objections that I hear regarding eating a vegan diet? “It’s too expensive!” I call BS on that. Yes, it can be expensive if you buy fancy-dancy packaged (aka processed) vegan foods, but it doesn’t have to be expensive at all. Beans, legumes, and grains – some of my dietary staples – are not expensive. You can trust me on this. I work for a non-profit, so yes, I actually use the strategies below every week! Read on for a few easy ways to save on groceries and stay on budget eating a vegan diet.
