Vegan Orange Peach Cheesecake
I’m absolutely thrilled about this recipe for Vegan Orange Peach Cheesecake. I’ve always loved a cheesecake, but since I don’t really eat dairy, I have been on a mission to create a perfect vegan cheesecake, and I think I’ve nailed it. The crunchy, nutty base is exquisite against the creamy orange topping. It’s also great […]
Curried Kale Salad
I am constantly trying new ways to enjoy one of my favorite leafy green vegetables: kale. Scots kale is a beautiful leafy form of cabbage and besides being easy to prepare this gorgeous vegetable is a superfood filled with crazy amazing amounts of vitamins and minerals.

Countess Coconut Smoothie
This smoothie is literally the most delicious treat you’ve ever tasted. It’s better than ice cream, and so incredibly healthy.

This recipe for stuffed shiitake mushrooms serves […]
Moroccan Beet Soup
This Moroccan Beet Soup is great because I love to cook with beets whenever I can because they are so incredibly nourishing.

Chewy Oatmeal Superfood Cookies
I had a craving for a chewy oatmeal cookie this morning. It’s rainy and gloomy – I so needed to have something to go with my green tea, so I pulled out my Breville Sous Chef, which BTW is the one of the best appliances I’ve added to my kitchen counter in years – I […]
