Egg

Flax Seed Egg

This recipe makes a great replacement for eggs in baking. It’s simple and contains a lot of great nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. It’s not like you’ll get your recommended daily allowance of them or anything, but flax seed in any amount is awesome for you! This works great in a lot of…

Bodega Breakfast Sandwich with Avocado

Living in New York City means stopping by a bodega once in a while to grab something quick like a drink or a roll of toilet paper. (Or, if you’re lucky, to pet the bodega owner’s cat.) It’s pretty great to have places like that nearby for when you don’t feel like trekking all the…

  • I'm in the middle of training for a half marathon, so I'm really paying attention to what I eat. For lunch on most days that means a kale salad with various additions mixed in—usually some kind of protein and tons of raw veggies. But what I always put on top is this awesome nut-free, vegan ranch dressing! It's super tasty and basically a blank canvas for additional flavors. I've blended it with avocado, chipotle peppers, a little barbecue sauce and so many other things. Whatever you're feeling on the day, this ranch dressing is ready to go! It's really easy to make and lasts for a few weeks (except when I make it, because I use it so much!). Get the link in the bio and give it a try. I bet it'll become your new favorite dressing, too! . . . #plantbased #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #veganfood #vegetarian #govegan #crueltyfree #veganism #organic #veganfoodporn #vegansofinstagram #veganlife #meatlessmonday #dairyfree #veganbombs #veganvultures #healthyfood #glutenfree #recipe #recipes #vegangotgame #switch4good #veganeats #homecooking #feedfeed #ivegangotgame #yum #thekitchn #vegan
  • It’s that time again! Back in March I participated in the Pasadena Triathlon and in the leadup to it raised money for Farm Sanctuary. Now—for some reason—I’ve decided to run the Philadelphia Rock and Roll Half Marathon in September, and as I train I’m hoping to collect $750 for @catskill_animal_sanctuary, one of my favorite places in America. Located in upstate New York, this is a haven for over 250 animals rescued from factory farming or neglect. The staff is so incredibly warm and friendly, and the care they give the animals—including some with special needs—is amazing. The sanctuary also advocates for a plant-based lifestyle through cooking courses—and the release of their first cookbook last month—as well as the New Leaf Vegan Mentoring Program, which I’m happy to be a mentor in. The link to my @crowdrise fundraiser is in my bio. If you can’t donate, that’s totally fine. But I’d love it if you at least shared the link so that, if nothing else, others can learn about the fantastic work Catskill Animal Sanctuary is doing. Hopefully they’ll get some new visitors and supporters to help further their mission of compassion.
  • With summer almost here it’s time to get outside and move. For me that usually involves running, but I also love a really good hike. @lac78 and I often visit national parks whenever we have some free time, and doing a day-long home requires some fuel. That’s where these tasty Roasted Jerk Chickpeas come in. They’re filled with protein, which helps fend off fatigue. And they also incorporate some amazing spices to put a little pep in your step when you’re climbing up a steep trail. I love this healthy snack and I think you will, too. So grab the link in the bio and give the recipe a try, and happy summer!
  • Happy #NationalDoughnutDay! If you're like me you'd prefer to celebrate these amazing confections all year long. But because today is the day to recognize them, I'm sharing this recipe from the Nut-Free Vegan archives: These Strawberry Glazed Chocolate Doughnuts are a rich and fruity treat that you'll absolutely love. They're really easy to make and are sure to please. So check out the link in the bio and give them a go. Also, I'd love to know what your favorite doughnut is! I think mine is just about any from @donutfriend in Los Angeles, but specifically something chocolatey with a creamy center. YUM!
  • It’s #NationalVeggieBurgerDay, but that doesn’t mean you need to celebrate with a traditional burger on a bun. If you want to spice things up a bit, try this super delicious Beyond Burger Dirty Rice instead! It has all the flavor of @beyondmeat’s popular flagship product with some amazing creole flair thrown in for good measure. So grab the link in the bio and mix things up!
