Honey Bee Vegan 

A cozy, Ayurveda-inspired Fig & Almond Oatmeal to balance Vata season — nourishing, warm, and perfect for autumn mornings.

A trio of vibrant smoothie bowls — fig & goji, carrot cake, and tropical green — to brighten slow summer mornings.

I recently had the opportunity to photograph some of the dishes being serced at Katie's Healing Kitchen's cooking class. On the menu? These muffins! Katie has a way of keeping her gluten-free/vegan baked goods so fluffy & moist, which is not an easy feat, at least in my experience.

Good Morning! It was about time I shared a smoothie recipe…it’s just been salad city around here! I am back to work this week, & with early mornings & a busy schedule, I need something quick, easy & nourishing that I can pour in a mason jar & drink on the go. My friend gave me some delicious figs from her tree & I decided to add them last minute to my favorite basic kale & almond smoothie. The result was rich, creamy deliciousness! One of the most delightful delicacies of sum

I think I speak for many when I say I could probably live on green smoothies alone. I drink one just about every morning, changing up the flavors & ingredients, sometimes adding protein powders & superfood additives, sometimes keeping it simple with fruit, greens & coconut water. I love my sweet green smoothies, & it had never occurred to me that a savory all-veggie-based green smoothie could be just as satisfying. I’ve been reading Raw & Simple & came across a recipe for a G

Good morning, sweet ones! In an effort to adhere to my “blogging schedule,” I intend to share one new recipe over the weekend. Two if I am feeling ambitious. This weekend, I had hoped to publish two, but time got away from me. However, I wanted to honor my commitment to post a new recipe, so here it is, & it is my new favorite. This smoothie was inspired by a Cacao Bliss Smoothie that was mentioned in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times . There was no recipe mentioned, just

As I am trying to be better about bulk cooking on the weekends to give me healthy, homemade, & convenient options to reach for throughout the week. This is the kind of dish that fits that bill. While it is absolutely delicious warm & bubbly & fresh out of the oven, the leftovers heat up well & will keep for a couple of days. I am also trying to be more mindful of my eating habits, & that means sitting down, distraction-free, taking the time to be gracious & enjoy the wholesom

I've been pretty much obsessed with this Pumpkin Cacao Chip Superfood Smoothie from Mind Body Green . I’ve been on a punkin’ smoothie kick for the past few weeks & this recipe has worked its way into the running for top contender! It’s full of superfoods, autumn spices, plant-based protein, & a whole lotta love. Today I added a dash of cardamom, cloves, & nutmeg to make it extra warming, & knob of fresh ginger for a bit of zip & zest! Yum! PUMPKIN CACAO CHIP SUPERFOOD SMOOTH

Every once & in a while, a day comes along when there is not much on the agenda. No work, no plans, no obligations. Perhaps a jog, or a yoga class to fill in some space, otherwise…an empty calendar. On days like this, I most often find myself gravitating towards the kitchen, immersing myself in some sort of culinary undertaking. If I could spend all of my days like this, I would. On this particular lazy morning, I awoke to a grey sky & wet ground. Could it be? Rain? A rare oc

Good Morning! Most days around here begin with a green smoothie of sorts, so on the weekends, I like to change it up a bit & make a scrumptious tofu scramble. I love to update my simple go-to recipe with seasonal flavors & vegetables, & yesterday I whipped up this lovely spring-inspired version. I love it when asparagus comes into season, as I find it to be one of the delights of springtime. I’ve been keeping bunches on hand lately & will roast & serve with a side of vegan a

When the going gets tough, the tough get baking. That is, around here anyway, & it has been a week. The weather has been particularly cold & dreary these past few days, & adding the stress of recent events, I was desperate for some comfort in the form of a tasty treat! Nothing calms & decompresses me more (except for yoga) than spending a little time in the kitchen. I love baking in the early morning, & I’ll make myself an almond milk latte, put on some music, & get lost in t

Warning: Extremely salacious doughnut photos ahead… …that’s right, a lustful, even slightly gratuitous display of fall-themed vegan treats is threatening to bestow their scrumptious images upon you, & in the most delightful way… I am in the midst of a MAJOR transition. My mood, my energy, my appetite, etc., have been up & down. Therefore, the ebb & flow of inspiration has waned more than waxed lately. But still, inspiration strikes me at the oddest of times/places - like the

I woke up craving something yummy to go along with my daily green smoothie. It’s been a while since I’ve baked, & it sounded like a fun way to spend a gloomy morning. I love sneaking things like carrots & summer squash into sweet muffins & there were plenty of carrots in my CSA share this week, so carrot muffins it was! I found a simple recipe & made some healthy modifications. I added some Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour to the mix, & tossed in some raisins, & all m
