Raw Beet Ravioli Stacks with Basil Pesto

Raw food is highly photogenic. They showcase the veggies at their peak of freshness, in their most glorified state. These beet ravioli stacks are gorgeous to look at, and delicious to eat. 2 large beets, sliced super thin with a mandolin (you can use sweet potato slices too if they’re more accessible) 2 tbsp olive oil 1 […]

Cheddah Broccoli Soup

Because there’s not actually real cheddar in this soup and even if there was, my Boston accent would pronounce it this way. This “cheddah” soup is legit. I doubt ANYONE could taste the difference if I gave them a bad-for-you, sodium-riddled dairy version and paired it against this one. And this one’s got a teensy […]

Raw Corn Tortilla Quesadillas

The raw version is on a whole different level, and has so much depth and flavor it’s ridiculous. The tortillas themselves were the hard part for me, but after visiting Rawbert’s Organic Garden in Beverly a few weeks […]

I’ve been good about getting in more smoothies and veggie/fruit-based muffins lately, but this sweet potato hash is a welcome change. It’s very filling and keeps you […]

Kick-Ass Tempeh & Black Bean Burgers

Does it still freak any of you out when you create/cook a vegan meal that tastes JUST like meat? I tend to feel slightly guilty when I eat a really great veggie burger or seitan because I always think I enjoy them more thoroughly because they’re so reminiscent of their animal unfriendly counterparts. Is that […]

Watermelon Mint Popsicles

So as the pumpkin, gourds and butternut squashes invade my Whole Foods, I am clinging onto summer recipes for dear life. The days of asparagus, fresh garden tomatoes and stalks of basil are long behind us, BUT watermelon, honeydews and large melons seem to still be lingering. I don’t really love the sometimes grainy texture […]
