March 26, 2017 by Christina

If you are like me and you grew up eating scrambled eggs fairly regularly for breakfast, the idea of tossing scrambled tofu into the mix may seem a bit odd.

Pumpkin Seed Butter

October 13, 2016 by Christina

This recipe was originally posted on mindbodygreen!

Crispy Oven Roasted Potato Fries

July 13, 2016 by Christina

There is something so comforting about digging into a seemingly never-ending bowl of potatoes with yummy dipping sauce (ketchup, guacamole, etc.).As much as I love sweet potatoes, I think I may enjoy white potato fries just as much, if not even more! I have cooked countless batches of homemade sweet potato fries over the years,…
