Creamy with a little bit of a bite - the perfect salad dressing and made for the Tahini Kale Salad.

These quinoa patties (fritters?) are a super bath cook item and can set you up for a successful higher protein and gluten-free way to enjoy your whole week. Dip into my avo-tahini sauce, or make your own to jazz things up. Crumbling these up over a bed of greens is also a great way to enjoy these li...

Using whole wheat cute little elbow macaroni, some steamed vegetables and an ooey gooey "cheese" sauce, this oil free, plant-based old school comfort food makes a re-appearance to the dinner table.  It's a quick and easy dinner fix, but, shoot so was that box of Velveeta - which I'm sure if you made...
