I think I could fool my meat eaters with this one! It's crazy how identical in taste, appearance and texture shredded jackfruit is to pulled pork (and adding some of your favorite bbq sauce definitely helps)! As usual, this recipe is vegan and gluten-free. Ingredients 1-20 oz can green jackfruit-shredded 1/3 cup bbq sauce-I use … Continue reading Bbq Pulled “Pork” Tacos
This new favorite recipe of mine is inspired by one of my favorite dishes at Plant Food + Wine, one of Matthew Kenney’s many restaurants.

Even if you’ve never been to Zinque, you may recognize "Le bowl" from the number of influencers who obsess over this dish on Instagram. It’s a very simple salad, so I’m not … Continue reading Le Bowl
I don’t eat dairy free cheese often. I believe that if you are having a strong craving for meat or dairy, consuming high quality animal products is sometimes better than the overly processed alternatives that are on the market today. However, I personally love the brand Violife. Their dairy free … Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Grilled Cheese
