I can’t think of many people who don’t like pasta, and on a whole food, plant-based diet you can enjoy lots of pasta! Whole grain, whole wheat, pastas made from beans, rice and vegetable mixes, there are lots to experiment with. So, for this recipe, I got my inspiration from a vegan restaurant in Hollywood … More Spinach Lasagna – WFPB

But, after trying several falafel recipes, I had yet to find one that satisfied my taste buds as much as this one. First of all, it’s made with dried chickpeas, I’ve never gotten … More Falafel – Homemade and Air Fried
Green Tea Nice Cream I have a giant smoothie most days for lunch and yesterday I was playing around with some blackberry nice cream (frozen bananas, blackberries and vanilla powder) and today I decided that I would depart from my usual smoothie and make a green tea nice cream, incorporating frozen spinach, a good matcha … More Green Tea Nice Cream

I’ll admit it, I rarely use a recipe, even when baking – I know, a big NO NO.
