Oil-Free Curry Hummus
Oil-Free Curry Hummus

This curry-infused twist on a classic hummus is sure to awaken your taste buds. Although it takes a little longer to make this hummus than it does to open a container of the store-bought variety, this hummus is free of oil and tastes oh so much better!


Easy Mango Chia Pudding
Easy Mango Chia Pudding

Trendy, versatile, magical, and nutritious: chia seeds are like culinary unicorns! Chia pudding texture is both creamy and crunchy and is reminiscent of tapioca pudding. This velvety mango chia pudding is great for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

Packed with protein and complex carbohydrates, granola is a delightful way to start your morning–or to get some quick energy in the afternoon.


Rosemary and Garlic Baked Butternut Squash Pasta

Silky butternut squash makes this creamy, dairy-free pasta dish even more delicious. So tasty and loaded with plant-based goodness. I suggest serving with steamed greens or a simple salad.
