I made this for Easter brunch and it's so easy! Who needs a mandolin when you can use chips. I used the Boulder brand thin and crispy chips made with avocado oil.

No mandoline required!

I've been making this on repeat! Topped with coconut whipped topping, of course!

You guys, it's cold. I mean, seriously cold. We may have narrowly escaped the polar vortex but I'm still feeling its aftermath. Most days John and I

Who doesn't want to turn on the oven or stove these days?? It has been so hot 🥵

Here's an easy gazpacho recipe. It will keep you and the kitchen cool! It all goes in the blender and is done! It has a nice zing to it. I added almonds, h**p seeds, and sprouts to top it off.

Bread. Cherry butter. That's all folks. 🤣

I have been baking my way through the Paleo Running Mama's cook book, Paleo Baking at Home. This is her sandwich bread. It's quite good. Marcus said it tastes like bread...in a surprised tone. That's a seal of approval! There's no traditional flour in this bread.

I subbed in honey since I'm out of maple syrup and bought golden flax seeds and ground in my spice grinder. Regular flax seeds may give a darker appearance.

Here's a similar recipe from her blog:

Lunch this week! Easy recipe that gets better as it sits.

I used nectarines instead of peaches. I prefer organic since both are on the dirty dozen list.

I used vegan feta cheese. Trader Joe's makes one as does the Follow Your Heart brand.

Gorgeous peach brussels sprouts salad with crunchy nuts and a creamy tahini poppy seed dressing. The perfect summer lunch or side dish!

My topping to chia pudding ratio is in favor of toppings 💯

Vanilla chia pudding by is my go-to

Homemade granola by is my other go-to

Dill pickle fans unite! I made this pickle-y broccoli slaw and it's 💯. A veggie combo gives you plant diversity plus good bacteria from the pickles.

Great for summer. No mayo! I used raw sunflower seeds instead of cashews.

I made the dressing a couple days ahead and adjusted with more lemon, touch more oil, salt and pepper when I tossed with the veggies. I used fermented pickles from Grillos, not the shelf stable ones...those usually have extra unwanted stuff.

Dill pickle broccoli slaw is naturally vegan and mayo-free, ready in 30 minutes, and punched up with tangy and savory pickle flavour.

The best part about where I live...the backyard wildlife. And I door wildlife too 😺

The animals have been especially abundant this year. Many have allowed us to get really close. Yesterday we almost hand fed a squirrel and bunny.

I've had this recipe clipped for years and just made it. It's a lighter spin on Mac and cheese. I used all gluten free ingredient swaps (rice pasta, GF panko, GF 1:1 flour) and dairy free swaps (almond milk, vegan cheddar, and nutritional yeast). Success! I did add more salt. Taste sauce and combo mixture before baking to adjust to your preference. I cooked the cauliflower and pasta in broth because I had it open.

Looking forward to leftovers!

This is my favorite time of the year, because I can enjoy the warmth of the kitchen. While I'm enjoying all the warmth, I can make all of my cold-weat
