When we did our second Mary’s Mini a few weeks ago, Brian decided to throw together a quick potato veggie soup. It was so tasty and simple, we decided to film the recipe so we could share! Continue reading
One of my long-term goals is to figure out better ways to incorporate our new whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet into our everyday lives. When we first started following this way of eating, occasions like Valentine’s Day would be an excuse to stray from the diet and have a “cheat meal” out at some restaurant we used to love.

We really do eat a massive salad for dinner almost every single night. Since we get a lot of questions about these salads, I thought it would be a good idea to film a recipe video for my favorite version! Continue reading
Before we switched to a whole food, plant-based diet, one of our favorite holiday dishes was a squash casserole Brian’s mom used to make a lot. Although squash is one of the main ingredients, it was not exactly the most healthy dish. I thought it would be fun to try to recreate our own version and personally, I think it turned out great!

You’ve probably guessed by now that I love chocolate! Before we switched to a whole food, plant-based diet, I used to enjoy baking quite a bit. Over the past year and a half, I haven’t really experimented too much with baking for one simple reason… I tend to lack self-control around sweets. These days, when I do indulge in something sweet, it is usually my chocolate nice cream or a mug of hot chocolate, but I decided to try developing a cookie recipe for the holidays! Continue reading
Recently, we have started digging out some of our old cookbooks for inspiration, and we decided to try out our own version of a black bean soup recipe we used to make. We tested it out a few times and finally landed on our very own whole food, plant-based version! Continue reading
One of my favorite things from the Whole Foods salad bar is their Garlicky Kale Salad. The first time I had it, I sent Brian a photo of the ingredient list and asked him to figure out how to make it at home. We experimented a bit and I think we nailed it! Continue reading
If you watched our travel vlogs, you might remember that we found a few really good dishes on our recent trip that we wanted to replicate at home. One of the dishes that stuck out in our minds was a delicious Delicata squash and lentil salad we had at Little Eater at North Market in Columbus, Ohio. The list of ingredients seemed simple enough, so we decided to try it out! Continue reading
It is no secret that I love chocolate! I’ve never been a coffee drinker, so for me there’s nothing better in the cold months than a nice mug of hot chocolate. Last winter, I tried to make a whole food, plant-based version, but I didn’t really know what I was doing. Now that I have another year of this lifestyle under my belt, I decided to give it another try! Continue reading
Weekly meal prep has been the number one thing to keep us on track with our whole food, plant-based diet. We normally rotate between soups and chili for our weekday lunches, but every once in a while we switch it up with our “Super Power Veggie Tofu Bowl Thingy.” Continue reading
