Curried Roasted Acorn Squash Soup While out for a glorious hike with my friend Judy, we spent a considerable amount of time talking about food. Judy is an accomplished endurance athlete and needs a lot of plant-based fuel! She had recently made a squash soup with lots...
Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Soup One of the things I love the most about fall is that it's officially soup season - yay! Bring on the warm, fragrant soups that nourish the soul. You may want to consider this soup for a few reasons: Cauliflower is in season,...
Zucchini and Carrot Fritters I was recently gifted with home grown veggies. (Thank you so much, Diane!) Among the goodies was a perfectly sized zucchini and some carrots. I immediately thought they would pair nicely together for some fritters. :) I made this recipe vegan by replacing...
I find it interesting how often an idea will come to me while I'm out for a daily walk with the pups. The meditative nature of being outside in the forest seems to create space for ideas to emerge and percolate. While out the other...

Robb has been enjoying the book Born To Run, and there are frequent references to the power seed Chia! I have been a long time fan of chia and frequently add it to smoothies, use it to make "vegan eggs", and make chia pudding. I haven't,...
I don't know where to start with this one. Poor Kelsey! She is a dedicated champ in my books. I had this idea to make hummus with chickpeas and spinach. Not only did Kelsey run out and pick up some supplies for me, she willingly...
We enjoyed these healthy treats at our most recent workshop. They're super quick to make and can really satisfy your sweet tooth (or, in my case, teeth!). You can easily adapt this recipe to be dairy, nut, gluten and sugar free. We made two versions for...
