Almond Noodles

Indulge in a unique blend of flavors in our Almond Noodles, where whole grain spaghetti meets the richness of almond butter, Thai red curry paste, and rice wine vinegar. It’s a delicious, harmonious blend of flavors that’s sure to satisfy.


Banana-Peanut Butter Cookies
Banana-Peanut Butter Cookies

I used to make a smoothie called Chunky Monkey with bananas, peanut butter, and cocoa. It is one of my favorite flavor combinations, so I use it here in this recipe—and even without the cocoa, these cookies make me grin from ear to ear.


Fruit and Vegetable Curry
Fruit and Vegetable Curry

I love the sweet, savory, and pungent flavors in this dish. They all balance each other nicely. Serve over cooked brown rice, quinoa, or your favorite grain.


Stovetop Rice Pudding

Delight in the rich and comforting flavors of this healthy Stovetop Pudding. Infused with aromatic cinnamon and vanilla or almond extract, this dessert is a symphony of wholesome ingredients. Easily crafted, this guilt-free indulgence promises a gratifying treat that celebrates the vibrant world of plant-based cuisine.


Falafel
Falafel

I love falafel but I don’t want all the added fat that would normally be in a deep-fried dish. So, I bake it instead and the results taste as good as the fried original.


Two-Minute Date Paste
Two-Minute Date Paste

Two-Minute Date Puree is a great alternative to processed sugars, and this version doesn’t require you to soak the dates. Medjool dates work best for this puree. They are sweeter, and if you can find fresh dates, they are creamier, but use what you can find. Even pitted dates sometimes have pits, so check them before you put them in the blender.
