Natural Nut/Seed Butter Cups

October 30, 2014 by Christina

With Halloween fast approaching, I am brought back to the many trick-or-treating memories I have from my childhood.  Halloween was like a major holiday for my family.  We (my parents, cousins, aunts, and uncles) all gathered at my grandparents’ house, took pictures in our costumes, exchanged simple gifts (mostly candy), went trick-or-treating, and then finished the night…

Massaged Kale Salad

September 30, 2014 by Christina

Although I am generally a lover of all things green, it wasn’t until recently that I began to truly appreciate one of the most popular leafy greens- KALE! Kale is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. It is also a source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, calcium, manganese, potassium, iron, and the…

Whole Grain Blueberry Pancakes

September 9, 2014 by Christina

Pancakes are one of those foods that just scream comfort.  They really bring me back to the excitement I felt years back when I would wake up to the aroma of fluffy cakes cooking away on a hot pan, waiting to be devoured.  These pancakes are light, fluffy, and hearty all at the same time. The combination of whole…

Basic Veggie and Bean Burgers

July 31, 2014 by Christina

Even before becoming a vegan, I always had a fascination with veggie burgers.  One thing that I learned from taste-testing them at numerous restaurants through the years is that no one veggie burger tastes the same because they all contain different combinations of ingredients.  When it comes to making veggie burgers, there are no rules, and creativity is the only real…

3-Ingredient Energy Bars

July 10, 2014 by Christina

As I mentioned in my peanut butter granola bar post, I have a thing for energy bars. Although I have taste-tested energy bars from numerous brands through the years, I have yet to find an ideal bar for my preferences. However, if I were to pick a winner, it would be the Larabar. With only…

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Buckwheat Muffins

June 16, 2014 by Christina

It’s finally strawberry season!  One of the things I love the most about summertime is the depth of flavor and texture of its seasonal produce.  As wonderful as it all is, I must say that the seasonal berries excite me the most.  The just-sweet-enough flavors and perfectly juicy textures are simply impossible to be matched at any…

Quinoa Power Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

June 6, 2014 by Christina

  I have come to the realization that keeping track of my recipes in an organized manner is quite a task!  Between my shoeboxes of handwritten recipe cards, the recipes that I have typed into my personal iPad app, and those that I have typed and saved on my computer. Of course, there’s also the “recipes”…

Chocolate Energy Bites

May 19, 2014 by Christina

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a true chocolate lover. Every day I discover new chocolaty combinations that make my taste buds explode, and the rest of me just melt. My current favorite concoction includes lots of  melted dark chocolate stirred into warm quinoa. I know it may sound odd, but the…

Creamy Avocado Pesto Pasta

May 11, 2014 by Christina

Pasta has always been one of my absolute favorite foods. When I first developed my love for cooking years ago, pasta dishes were practically the only meals I made. From homemade gnocchi to mushroom bolognese to baked penne marinara with every vegetable I could think of, I loved putting my creativity to the test. Although I experimented with a variety…
