That's a wrap! :-) Savor your last bites of 2018 and make 2019 healthy and delicious by incorporating more whole unprocessed plant-foods every day. This hummus sweet potato wrap has been my go-to lunch for a while: hummus on a collard green, loaded with homemade sprouts (lentils, fenugreek, and alfalfa), cucumber, sweet potatoes, carrot, lemon, and tahini, on a sprouted grain beet tortilla. . . . #wfpb #thatsawrap #veganwrap #veggiewrap #eatarainbow #sprouts #wholegrains #sproutedgrains #hummus #healthyanddelicious #happynewyear #greensandgrains #purplesweetpotatoes #yogafood

It’s been challenging to make time to cook lately. Our friends and family have been so graciously helping by offering to make us delicious #wfpb meals and running errands. Having extra prepared meals around has been tremendously helpful. We are so grateful and appreciate all the support as we adapt to being parents. #sleepyallthetime When I do have the energy to cook, I have been into making breakfast anytime of day or night. Here’s some fresh homemade 100% whole wheat sourdough toast with hummus, tofu scramble topped with heirloom cherry tomatoes, and a mixed farm share greens salad with apple, sweet peppers, and lemon tahini dressing. . . . #wfpb #tofuscramble #wholegrains #sourdough #veganparenting #veganfamily #eatarainbow #breakfastanytime #foodRx #highvibes #getbywithalittlehelpfrommyfriends #yogafood

This eggplant is ready to get in the ring! Did you know that eggplants are rich in phenolic antioxidants and flavonoids? Most brightly colored plants are full of the stuff, but what's incredible about eggplants is that they contain chlorogenic acid, which is one of the most potent free radical scavengers found in plants. The benefits include antimutagenic (anti-cancer), antimicrobial, anti-LDL (bad cholesterol) and antiviral activities. . . . #boxingglove #sexyfood #anticancer #eatarainbow #organicproduce #localCSA #farmshare #bodycombat #lesmillsbodycombat #foodsthatfightcancer #foodRx #plantstrong #yogafood

Baked two round sourdough loaves of bread for the Jewish New Year! Round braided bread symbolizes the circle of life, and we serve them with sweet fruits for a sweet year shared with friends, family, and community. The top is 50% rye 50% sprouted wheat with raisins and walnuts. The bottom challah is 50% sprouted wheat, 25% barley, and 25% oat flour. I replaced the traditional egg-wash with a mix of maple syrup and almond milk and it made a beautiful brown glaze. It was also my first attempt at braiding challah bread and it was fun to learn!

This is my first successful naturally leavened sourdough bread. Of course, it's made with 100% whole grains -- I used 50% sprouted winter wheat and 50% sprouted spelt -- water, salt, and the starter. The rise I got was much better than any of my yeast breads in the past and the texture and flavor was close to the bread I've bought from artisan bakers in NYC. The game changer for me was understanding the mechanics of the starter and then treating it like I would any other ferment. It needs a little bit of food (flour and water) and love everyday and it rewards you with unlimited fresh bread. The starter was gifted to me from the amazing baker, Jen, from Lilly Pies in Princeton. It was so sticky, bubbly, and gooey, I knew it would change my bread game. Thank you so much Jen! Now to pay it forward... who wants a piece of 100% whole grain sourdough starter? . . . #wfpb #wholegrains #sourdough #bakingbread #fermentedfoods #sourdoughstarter #breadisthestaffoflife #realbread #organic #naturallyleavened #wildyeast #highvibes #highcarbvegan #goodforyourgut #sproutedgrains #yogafood

Can you find superfoods for free? How about superfood weeds!?? For breakfast, I made lavender berry yogurt with foraged purslane. Yes, weeds for breakfast! Purslane, also known as duckweed, grows almost anywhere. I usually see purslane popping up in the park, but if you're foraging, you'll want to find areas that are free of pesticides and grown in clean soil. One of the best places to forage is your local organic farm! I'm happy to help farmers get rid of their weeds by eating them :> Purslane is an incredible plant, it packs a nutrient profile higher in vitamin E than spinach, with more beta-carotene than carrots, and it's one of the only leafy greens that is high in Omega-3s! It's tasty too. The flavor is slightly tangy, lemon, earthy, and just a hint of peppery bitterness. I actually find the stalks, which are light and crunchy, to be the tastiest part. Keep your eye out for this superfood weed! #wfpb #superfoodweeds #edibleweeds #veganbreakfast #cashewyogurt #berrybowl #organicproduce #organicCSA #foragedfood #purslane #highvibes #eatarainbow #foodRX #yogafood

I used to fear the fructose from fruit because I thought consuming too much sugar was bad. The reality is that whole fruits and extracted or processed sugars have complete opposite effects. More fruit consumption is associated with greater health, less weight, and healthier blood sugar. The reasons are complicated but it essentially boils down to this: whole fruits are incredibly nutrient dense, full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients while being relatively low in calories and high in water. It is likely the healthiest “fast food” on our planet. I usually eat a lot of fruit in the morning or as a pre-workout meal because it’s so hydrating and gives me a ton of energy. For those like me that are into the scientific evidence, here’s a nice summary from nutritionstudied.org https://ift.tt/2LW5coA #wfpb #wholefruit #eatmorefruit #superfoods #dontfearthesugar #healthiestfoodontheplanet #eatarainbow #nutritionscience #yogafood #foodRx #highvibes

Amaranth porridge with blueberries, cherries, basil, fennel, and flowers. Herbs contain unique health benefits from their flavonoids and volatile oils. The science on herbs is fascinating. For example, basil contains a volatile oil that blocks an enzyme in the body called cyclooxygenase (COX). Many non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), like aspirin and ibuprofen, work by inhibiting this same enzyme. Studies show that basil can help heal and provide relief from inflammation, and may be particularly beneficial for arthritis. It's my post-workout drug of choice ;) #wfpb #foodismymedicine #healingherbs #basilbreakfast #veganporridge #amaranth #wholegrains #antiinflammatory #berriesforbreakfast #FoodRx #highvibes #yogafood #veanbreakfast #foodscience

A very appropriately named KING trumpet mushroom! We grilled these majestic fungi with a light coating of balsamic and coconut aminos. I like to slice them into rounds and seer them until just tender. The texture and flavor is deep umami, meaty and light at the same time. Mushrooms are one of the few plant-based foods (though not technically a plant) that contain vitamin-D. On these gray rainy summer days, I feel a boost when I incorporate more mushrooms in my cooking. #wfpb #kingtrumpets #incrediblefungi #veganbbq #adaptogens #ediblesunshine #umami #plantbased #yogafood

Blueberry Cream Pie - made entirely of whole foods (no added oils, sweeteners, refined flours, etc.). The filling is fresh blueberries, ground chia seeds to thicken, and lemon juice. The crust is ground almonds, ground flax, and a dash of salt. The cream is cashew, vanilla bean, date, and lemon zest. I wanted to make a less sweet version of this summer classic pie and was quite happy with the result. The crust is pre-baked and for the filling I made on the stovetop with half the blueberries until it formed a jammy texture, and then I added the rest of the fresh blueberries. Everything held together nicely, the crust came out flaky, and the flavors meld beautifully. #wfpb #veganblueberrypie #freshblueberries #homemadepiecrust #glutenfree #nooil #nosugar #summerdesserts #organicproduce #healthydesserts #veganpie #halfbakedhalfraw #notfullyraw #highvibes #yogafood

Sprouted tongue of fire beans. I always try to sprout my beans before cooking them. Most organic beans -- even if bought in bulk -- will sprout. Sprouting is a great reminder that plant-based foods, even dried beans, are living foods. They just need a little soak to wake up! Sprouting also unlocks more of the nutrients and makes bean more digestible. The food we eat provides the energy we need to thrive. So why not eat more of what comes alive! In particular, beans are a staple food of the healthiest, longest-lived, happiest people on the planet living in the "Blue Zones." #highvibes #livingfood #sprouting #beansprouts #wfpb #plantbased #foodRx #yogafood #Bluezones #heirloombeans #tongueoffire

My first attempt at making fresh gnocchi. I used just three ingredients: steamed potato, sprouted whole wheat flour, and nutritional yeast. I learned two things from this trial: 1) The kind of potato makes a huge difference. Russet potatoes will produce the fluffiest texture. 2) The longer I cooked them, the tougher they got. For this recipe I found they cooked perfectly when they float to the top of the boiling water and cooked for just another 30 seconds. Looking forward to my next attempt -- with the right kind of potato next time :) #wfpb #homemadepasta #plantbasedpasta #vegangnocchi #potatostrong #wholegrains #kitchenexperiments #veganoitalia #plantpowerwayitalia #yogafood

Spring noodles with artichoke hearts, heirloom tomatoes, beets, and olives with a raw pecan, fig, and sweet pepper sauce. I enjoy mixing raw recipes with cooked foods, the combo of textures is nice and you get the benefits of raw and cooked nutrition. The noodles are half zucchini from @honeybrookorganic and half cooked edamame noodles. #wfpb #organicproduce #CSA #farmshare #vegannoodles #notfullyraw #springveggies #yogafood Read more...
