I think most of the time you either love tofu or you hate it. I hope to change your mind just a bit with this vegan salad bowl with crispy baked Tofu. When it comes to whether or not tofu is healthy, there are some pretty strong opinions on both sides.

I’ll get to what I think later, but I like to always consider different sides no matter what before making any opinion. Plus, I really don’t believe in demonizing any one food or food group, so you won’t find me doing that here either. …

The easiest dairy free caesar salad
Who else loves a good caesar salad?! I know I do. But usually the store bought versions are a little less than stellar when it comes to ingredients.

Be warned, you’re going to want to slather this dairy free caesar salad dressing over alllllllll the salads.

Nori Wraps: Three Different Variations (Vegan + GF)
I often get asked the most about easy lunch and dinner options that are simple and healthy. It can be hard to work a full time job and then come home and have to make dinner and then worry about what to bring for lunch. I get it 1000% because that was (and is) me for most of the time. I commute to an office job three days a week, down from my normal five, one year ago. So I get the hustle and hassle of bringing a lunch and having enough time to make a healthy dinner. I wanted to create an easy recipe for you to showcase that healthy eating can be easy, delicious and attainable. These nori wraps are perfect!
