5-Minute Vegan Cream of Tomato Soup (paleo, too!)
8-ingredient creamy tomato soup without the cream. This easy, blend and go recipe is high in flavor, nutrients and feel-good whole food ingredients.

Why You Should Soak Nuts Before Eating Them
A porcupine has quills, opossums act dead when threatened, and newts turn their ribs into spikes when in danger. Talk about defense mechanisms! But, did you know? Nuts have similar mechanisms, too?

Fresh n’ Raw Pad Thai Salad
I love enjoying food. Like, taking my time preparing a bunch of different sides, salads and entree options with not a care in the world. Like, sitting leisurely as I pick away at my plate. Like, indulging in a simple dessert with absolutely no guilt.
Stuffed Jack-o’-Lanterns

Pump up your Greens ‘Creamed’ Soup
I’ve been craving greens, fish, and fresh fruit like no one’s business this week! I’ve had my fair share of 15 minute salmon cakes, BBQ kale chips, and various fruit salads. Right around this time every year, our bodies go into a natural detox cycle (similar to what we experience in the spring). We gravitate…
