I’m a proud shareholder of Beyond Meat! It’s the only stock I ever bought, but that’s how much I believe in this product. I normally don’t feature mock meat meals here on the blog, but I’m so impressed with Beyond that I had to share. Beyond Meat is both revolutionary and delicious. Fast food restaurants now…

Chickpea Buddha Bowl with Smoky Garlic Dressing
This bowl of plant powered fuel is super easy to whip up! I doubled the recipe for an easy meal to grab from the fridge throughout the week. Chickpeas are a powerhouse food. Aka garbanzo beans, one cup gives ya 15 grams of protein. They’re high in fiber and folate (great for pregnant mamas!) Chickpeas improve blood…
Creamy Artichoke Cauliflower Bake
A rich, cheesy, satisfying meal that leaves you feeling light and healthier for it. It tastes bright, warming, and mouth-watering.

Baked Falafel Patties
Falafel is a beloved dish originally from the Middle East, made with spiced mashed chickpeas formed into balls or fritters and often deep-fried. This baked falafel recipe is a favorite I developed as an alternative to the greasy, dry falafels you find from street vendors. Falafel should be healthy, flavorful, moist and crispy. So I came…
