I love adding extra veggies in to my diet wherever I can. I created this bright green hummus, loaded with kale and fresh herbs! It is a blend of pesto and hummus. Full of protein, healthy fats, and nutrients. Hummus takes on any flavor you add into it. Other items i like to add to my hummus is sun dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, butternut squash, edamame, and beets!

Here are the recipes for the famous Curried Cashew Pumpkin and Beet Pecan Dips! These recipes are inspired by my amazing mentor Aimee Greenacre. At the beginning of 2021 I was lucky enough to work underneath Aimee learning healthy and nutritious recipes like these ones. I am sharing these dips just time for the holidays. We all love to entertain during this time of the year so why not bring a healthy twist to your parties! Both dips are bold with their flavors. The curried dip is filled with asian flavors like sesame oil, ginger, and cilantro. The beet dip has a more Moroccan flare to it with sumac and cumin! I love serving each dip with fresh crudités like, celery, carrots, radish, cucumber, bell peppers, fennel, and even warm pita pairs well!

I love to experiment with baking. This is my version of a healthy morning glory muffin. Most bakeries offer glory morning muffins and we tend to think they are healthy because they contain carrot. Just because we added a veggie doesn’t make a pastry healthy and clean. I recreated this delicious pastry to be gluten free (optional) and refined sugar free! I also added in another veggie, zucchini! Try out my recipe and let me know what you think!

My candied pecans are to die for! Yes, I do add two tablespoons of whiskey to my pecans before baking them. I call these my Bulliet Pecans. The subtlety spiked sweet and savory coating makes them addictive. I love the flavor of maple paired with the spiciness of cayenne. I chose fall flavors for the holidays, but any spice/flavors you pick, you cant go wrong with. Another one of my faves is when I create my own everything seasoning for my nuts. These pecans are the perfect snack on the go or topping to a bowl of yogurt!

Fall is in the air which means pumpkin comes out to play. This is my first time ever making my own homemade pumpkin puree 🎃to bake with. It made a world of difference! These muffins are simple and healthy but decadent and delicious at the same time. Add in any nuts or extras goodies to the mix that you would like. I chose pepita seeds and chocolate chips, of course! This recipes makes 12 muffins and only takes 35 minutes to prep + bake. I love baking batches of desserts that I can share with my neighbors. It is the perfect recipe for a quick sweet treat or a holiday gift for a friend. Try out this recipe and tag me on instagram with you results!

This was my first year baking with fresh pumpkin puree. It made the biggest difference in my Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. They were moist and had the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor. People think vegan baking can be difficult but I find it almost easier than baking with eggs and butter. If you combine the right ingredients you can make desserts just as flavorful as a dessert full of butter and dairy! This recipe makes around 4 cups of pumpkin puree so make sure you are ready to be baking multiple pumpkin treats!

Superfood bark? Healthy right? WELL, yes in moderation! Still contains sugar, but all natural sugars. I use Hu chocolate baking gems as my bark base, which is only sweetened with raw coconut sugar! The best part of making your own bark is you can add any toppings you want. I chose chia seeds, goji berries, flaky salt, and pistachios!

I am always trying to find new breakfast items to add to my personal cookbook. I wanted to create a recipe for vegan pancakes that was easy to double, triple, or even quadruple. I’ve made this recipe very simple for any home chef to follow. The recipe as written will serve about 3 people. You can triple it for a family of 5. I had leftover berries from the farmer market and decide to create a sweet but tart berry compote to top off my pancakes.

I learned this delicious sourdough recipe form one of my best friend Sammi. The best part about this bread, it’s a NO-KNEAD sourdough! It is the perfect recipe for beginners! I love making bread, but am always coming up with an excuse not too! This recipe has showed me just how simple bread making can be. All it takes is keeping a starter alive, 30 minutes before bread to make your dough, and 45 minutes in the morning to bake your bread! You can customize each loaf by adding new fun toppings to the bread or even folding in things like olives or roasted garlic. Original recipe courtesy is from Feasting at Home! Here is a link for making your sourdough starter from Feasting at home, which you will need to do the day before making your bread.

With summer coming to an end, i’ve been eating every tomato in sight! There is nothing like a freshly picked cherry tomato from the garden. My wonderful neighbor shared some of her beautiful yellow + red cherry tomatoes with my roommate and I. We decided to make a dish based off of a traditional caprese salad (heriloom tomatoes, mozzarella, basil) but with these freshly picked tomatoes, vegan feta cheese from Virgin Cheese, and fresh basil. You can use this recipe with any type of tomato, herbs, cheese, and vinegar!

Okay, these are to die for! These dates are the most decadent delicious bite there is. My roommate and I absolutely love making these. The good thing about them is it just takes one date to feel satisfied. I top each date with a pinch of flaky salt leaving your mouth watering over the sweet and salty taste. Feel free to use any chocolate chips you’d like. I prefer Hu dark chocolate baking gems!

This is a great recipe because it works for almost any vegetable! These are perfectly cooked brussels with a delicious sweetness from the balsamic vinegar. I also love to use this exact recipe on asparagus! It makes the perfect side dish for any lunch or dinner. Share with me what you try it on!

This is a perfect protein replacement for vegetarians! The quinoa is loaded with plant protein, plus all the protein you get from the vegetables themself. Feel free to play around with any vegetables you want to fill the mushroom with. This dish is easy to make and delicious every time.

This is the perfect recipe for an afternoon snack or yummy side dish! I personally love white sweet potatoes, but you can try any potato you would like! Make sure to keep an eye on your fries the last 10 minutes of cooking, remember, every oven is different and some cook faster than others. Make sure you don’t forget fresh herbs at the market for garnish, I promise they make the dish delish!

Here is my simple chocolate chip cookies loaded with goodies. I love adding different textures to my desserts. I folded in walnuts, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips to make these cookies extra yum! I typically try to create my desserts dairy free, and sometimes vegan. This recipe has eggs but can easily become vegan by replacing the eggs with a flax egg! I also recommend ALWAYS topping any cookie with a bit of flaky salt before baking. It gives a perfect sweet + salty flavor to the cookie. Enjoy!

This is the perfect side or main dish for any Italian night! Try whatever vegetables you prefer in the stack. I absolutely love this pesto recipe, but the fun thing about this dish is you can do any type of sauce you would like in-between the vegetables. It all melds together and develops a delicious flavor. I love to add fresh basil on top at the herb to bring in the perfect freshness!

I was inspired to create this dish after eating at Nobu in LA a few weeks ago. I love when kohlrabi is fresh and in season! It is the perfect crunch for a fresh slaw. I was craving a light but decadent feeling dish so I wanted to add in a bit of truffle oil. It was my first time pairing miso with truffle oil, and it was delish! Enjoy this as a side dish for any Asian dinner or even put it on top of a fish taco.

I created this recipe while cooking for a family who follows a pescatarian diet, meaning the only animal protein they eat is fish. They were craving chicken parmesan, so i figured why not make it but substitute the chicken for eggplant. This recipe has a wonderful crispy texture on the outside and perfectly cooked eggplant on the inside. To bring the cheesy flavor I replaced the cheese with nutritional yeast. This dish is very nutritious but decadent at the same time!

This is my go dish when using cauliflower. I absolutely love the flavor or curry powder! The golden raisins I add give the dish a nice sweetness and chew. Feel free to change up the spices and enjoy the cauliflower as a side to any yummy protein! By far has been my clients favorite side dish.

Craving mac and cheese but gave up dairy a long time ago? Well, here is the perfect healthy alternative for a dairy free mac and cheese! I even threw in a few greens to make it nutrient rich.
