Since discovering the pink salt caves in the Himalayan mountains, more and more uses have been discovered for it. Everything from using it like regular salt, to salt lamps for purification, to inhaling air that has passed over the salt, to using it in bath bombs, or for massage. One way that is just starting…

Pineapple Fried Quinoa
There’s one main ingredient that is in just about every bowl of fried rice that you find at just about every Chinese food themed restaurant. Arsenic. No, they don’t have a big jar of it in the kitchen, and they’re not purposefully adding in to your food. But it’s there. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s…
VGF Black Bean Pasta Primavera
Everyone knows there are a ton of different pasta noodles to choose from. Spaghetti, linguine, angel hair, rotini, macaroni, etc. etc. etc. For me, there is only one problem with that. I need gluten-free options, and pasta is traditionally made from wheat. I’m also vegan, so finding a pasta that doesn’t use eggs. When my…
Maca Mocha
Recently I decided to go caffeine-free again. I’ve done it before, back when I cut all sodas out of my diet. This time, all I had left that was caffeinated, was coffee. I thought I would just switch to decaf, but a friend mentioned that even decaf coffee can have a negative health effect. So…
Spicy Vegan Ginger Mayo
Years ago, my wife and I used to go to a local teppanyaki restaurant. My wife would always order an appetizer of this baked sushi dish they made. It was topped with a sauce that she absolutely loved. After we went vegan, and learned how to make our own sushi, she decided to recreate the…
Linguine with Mixed Veggies in a Brown Mushroom Sauce
Pasta comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Add in the various types of sauce, or ‘gravy’ as it is sometimes known, and you have a nearly endless amount of combinations. It’s hard to get creative and come up with something that no one has ever made before, especially since pasta is such a…
Garden Greens Pesto
Some of the best advice I ever received as I began my journey into the discovery of what was causing all of the physical and mental health issues I’ve been suffering with for years, was when my wife and I went vegan. At that time, someone told me, “Eat food that is as close to…
Butternut Squash Steaks
No, they don’t look like meat. And they definitely don’t taste like meat. But being vegan isn’t about trying to replicate all of the foods you used to eat in the exact shape and form that they were. There is no reason to make the food look like something it isn’t. These are slices of…
VGF Nachos
It’s Friday. Baseball season has started. And the weather is getting warm. Sounds like a perfect time for a cold bottle of beer, and a warm plate of nachos. The best part about these? They’re Vegan, Gluten-Free and delicious! Here’s what you’ll need: Ingredients: 1 large jalapeno 3/4 to 1 cup white vinegar 1/2 TBSP…
VGF Pot Pie
Pot Pie. It’s almost like having desert for dinner. This recipe is not only hearty and chocked full of delicious, healthy veggies, it can also be made ahead of time and frozen for a later date. I usually make enough for one full pie, as well as a few single serving size, too. Here’s how…
