Fudgy Avocado Cookies (Gluten-free, Vegan / Plant-based, Refined Sugar-free)

July 17, 2016 By Jana 12 Comments

Fudgy Avocado Cookies

Fudgy Avocado Cookies. All the moist chocolaty goodness of a brownie, wrapped in a light, crisp cookie shell. Pure chocolate decadence, all plant-based, no gluten, no refined sugars, no avocado flavor! In my Creamy Avocado Fudge post, I tell the story of having my beloved avocado torn away from me for years and the joyful reunion that resulted in the Fudge recipe. My Creamy Avocado Fudge  has been one of my most popular recipes because of what it is and what it isn't. It is just like ...

Vegan Caesar Salad (Gluten-free, Plant-based)

May 25, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Vegan Caesar Salad

Vegan Caesar Salad, a dish that boasts the flavors of traditional Caesar dressing while offering up additional nutrients and plant-based protein. Filling, delicious and dairy free. A fresh compliment to many meals! Where Did Caesar Salad Originate? I have always loved Italian food, and one of my favorite dishes is Caesar salad. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever been to an Italian restaurant which didn't offer it on the menu. I, like most people, think of it as food hailing from ...

Roasted Asparagus with Vegan Avocado Cream (Gluten-free, Plant-based, Low-Carb)

April 12, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Roasted Asparagus with Vegan Avocado Cream

Roasted asparagus, garlic and sweet corn, drizzled with a vegan cilantro avocado cream. A unique dish that tastes phenomenal both hot out of the oven or chilled. 15 minutes of prep and 12 minutes to cook - ready in under 30 minutes! The Skinny On Asparagus Asparagus is one of those vegetables that can be enjoyed year round if you are fortunate enough to have a market that stocks it. Given its nutritional status it would be a shame to relegate it to the seasonal vegetable category. That ...

Spicy Acorn Squash With Garlic Infused Quinoa (Gluten-Free, Vegan / Plant-Based, Easy)

October 26, 2015 By Jana 2 Comments

Spicy Acorn Squash and Garlic Infused Quinoa - Plated

Spicy roasted acorn squash served over a bed of garlic infused quinoa is an easy side dish or a main attraction in a 30 minute meal! First, I want to apologize for the delay in this post.  It has been in the queue for about two weeks but administrative issues with the blog were demanding my attention.  Hopefully, all of those issues are satisfied and I can get back to the fun part, posting yummy food!   I feel bad for winter squash. They have been type cast and primarily relegated to ...

Creamy Avocado Fudge (Gluten-Free, Vegan / Plant-Based, Refined Sugar-Free)

October 11, 2015 By Jana 27 Comments

Avocado Fudge -Plated

Creamy Avocado Fudge is nothing short of a pure, chocolate delight! Exquisite yet simple--only 15 minutes of your time. Healthy and indulgent! No one ever guesses I put an avocado in this chocolate decadence--or for that matter, removed the cream and refined sugar. And I proved it -- I put traditional fudge next to my Creamy Avocado Fudge and not a single taster could figure which was which! Don't get me wrong.  I love avocados! I never had them as a child. That's got to be borderline ...

Fire-Roasted Three Chili Guacamole

Three Chili Guacamole

California might be the greatest place on earth.  I'm not talking about Hollywood here.  I'm not talking about the all the gold it once harbored in its hills.  I'm not even talking about the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.  California is important across the landscape of history for a place called La Habra Heights.  Never heard of it?  Allow me to enlighten you. Why Hass Avocados Are So Good In 1926, a mail-carrier-cum-amateur-horticulturist named Rudolph Hass ...

There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbo There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbook for the first time! Akin to exploring an uncharted destination; the possibilities are endless! As the title of this culinary masterpiece by Gina Zarcadoolas reads,"Cuisines, Corkscrews, & Cultures: A Treasury of Recipes, Wine Pairings, and Travel Lifestyles", the discovery is no longer metaphorical! Gina graciously includes us in her global travels while sharing a treasury of cultural recipes and wine pairing suggestions!
🍽
I was so excited to make "Gina's Naughty Spaghetti alla Puttanesca" (pictured above), and it did not disappoint! The well-crafted combination of gratifying flavors played out in a symphony of color and textures. As many of you know, I eat a plant-based diet. By no means does that mean I can't enjoy all of the delightful combinations of ingredients that Gina employs in her phenomenal recipes. Sometimes it just means a quick and easy substitution. For example, in this lovely Puttanesca, I merely substituted plant-based meat for the anchovies. To maintain the taste of the sea, a small addition of seaweed does the trick!
🍽
With the holidays fast approaching, I am always on the lookout for great gift ideas. Gina's cookbook, and all it has to offer, would definitely make a lovely present to bestow! You can find Gina and her cookbook @foodieandwinelover
Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was t Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was the case this weekend as I traveled down the apropos named "Road to Nowhere"--alternatively Corridor H in West Virginia. Resistant to abandon my plans to study for the day as I eagerly look forward to completing my continuing education and additional certifications in nutrition and wellness.
🍁
After some convincing I acquiesced. I've spent much of my life in two of the neighboring states to West Virginia, but my travels there rest solidly in the single digits. Once firmly afoot the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains, I realized a deficit in my life. Air--fresh air. Breaths--slow and deep. Healing--quieting stress in mind and body.
🍁
Looking around I knew it was important to capture this moment. A reminder. Grabbing my phone that had long since disconnected itself from cyberspace, I began snapping pictures. The leaves are turning, the wind turbines are spinning, and the colors are amazing. I've shared a couple above if you'd like a taste.
🍁
I am a planner and, "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But on this day letting go of the plan was the best plan of all! So tell me, are you a planner?? Do you plan not to plan?? How do you unplug? Have you taken a ride on the road to nowhere?

Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can wor Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can work culinary miracles when it comes to changing a flavor profile! But did you know they also amp up the nutrient value of your dish? A tablespoon of parsley has 8% of your Daily Value of vitamin C and can be a natural diuretic. Many herbs contain antioxidants and can act as anti-inflammatory agents. If you don't already love herbs, you will after you watch the live chat I had with Lori Corbin. Along with nutritional benefits, we talk about how to store, use, and even grow your own! Lori provides great tips for growing herbs inside and out! If you missed it, be sure to check out the replay on @LoriCorbinTV . What is your favorite herb(s), and how often do you use it?? Let me know in the comments below! 🌱🥰🌱😋
