Potatoes may possibly be my favorite vegetable! And I don’t mean chips or French fries. Nothing like a good baked potato or my fave stuffed sweet potato.

Potatoes are one food that I usually try to buy organic - yes, it is a root, soaking up all that’s in the soil, but also I have found they tend to just taste better!

Wishing you a happy potato day!

Did you know tomatoes are a fruit? 🤔

I loved this tomato and plum salad so much, I made it again with cannellini beans so I can have it for lunch.

Love my CSA, !
Fresh food needs no embellishment to taste amazing! 🥰

Have you been doing ? This is my take on lentil loaf.
Paired with mashed potato and the sweet green beans from my CSA…traditional British meal, vegan style! Got top marks (gold medal?) from hubby.

But first I had to convert to US measures and fewer servings 😜

Yummy but still a work in progress…

I hope some of my tips this month have helped you focus on your food choice. Eating with intention improves enjoyment and (if your intention is whole foods plant based) may even improve your health and avert climate change! 🌎

It’s easy to grow food, from sprouts on your kitchen counter (no window necessary) to windowsill herbs or an outdoor garden of any size.
I have some sprouting kits available at cost ($5) if you want to get started now!

My favourite plant based vendor is so definitely check them out.
Rain will be clearing up (although last year it was still a lot of fun in the rain🤪) and the music will be awesome!
I’ll be in the hospitality tent feeding the musicians. Word on the street is we had a few vegan requests this year. 😋

Whether you join a CSA (community supported agriculture = farm share) or shop at your local farmers market, there’s nothing quite like really fresh vegetables!
I get a share weekly from and often can eat veggies the day they’re picked!
If you have a vegetable you don’t know what to do with, comment below and I’ll give you some yummy ideas! 😉

Not everyone’s a breakfast person, but I definitely am! Some research indicates that consuming more of your calories at breakfast (and less at dinner) is good for metabolic efficiency.
Makes sense, right? You don’t fill up the gas tank after your road trip. 😜 🚗
BUT…it matters what you start with. Protein and fiber fill you up and keep you satiated.
So if you haven’t thought about adding veggies and legumes (like this tofu breakfast sandwich from ) to your breakfast, I urge you to try it!

A plant based breakfast need not be a sweet one.

Although I ❤️ a good bowl of oatmeal (or even some overnight oats), there are plenty of savory vegan options…like this white bean avocado toast with pickled red onions.

Do you prefer savory or sweet in the morning?

What’s your best way to start the day?

There are lots of detox programs and potions out there, but the truth is our bodies are amazingly resilient and typically handle toxins with aplomb!
Drinking plenty of water and consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables (in as near to their natural state as possible) is what you really need to keep your liver happy and your body healthy!
Add in some fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled vegetables, tempeh or sourdough bread for a boost.

Just because everyone’s having hamburgers and hot dogs doesn’t mean it’s the only option.
Choose veggies, a meat free alternative, or just a plant predominant plate where the meat is a “garnish”!
Independent thinking based on decades of research!
Happy 4th of July! 💥 🇺🇸

It’s not to late to start my plant based challenge. Meatless Monday is a great place to start. And because everyone asks about protein (btw most of us are deficient in fiber, not protein), here are some of my favorite plant based proteins. What meal can you make today? It could be any day of the week! 🤪

Join me on a journey to include more plants on your plate!
Did you know that livestock production emits more greenhouse gasses than all the cars, trucks, trains and planes in the world?
Commit to eating meatless meals one day this week. It could be a meal you already eat that’s “accidentally vegetarian” or a made-for-you food like veggie burgers.
In addition to lowering GGE, your shift reduces water usage, deforestation and species loss.
As an added bonus, replacing meat with plants is good for you physical and mental health!
Now that’s a big impact!
Share your favorite meat free meal in the comments!

I’ll be at the Mt Kisco Farmers Market with some yummy samples of vegan cheeses you can make from “regular” ingredients. Plus samples of Kingston’s own .
Find delicious fresh produce from and others, then I can give you some ideas for using it! 😉
If you’re in Northern Westchester, I hope to see you there!

Do you have a favorite sauce or spread, one that you can put on anything? I’m loving the romesco sauce I made the other day…on toast or on a salad (also on crackers, not pictured).
A good sauce or dressing can absolutely make the meal, right?

Introducing…leftover leftovers!

Yesterday I made a delicious colcannon, a dish traditionally made with leftover mashed potato (served with sausage, mixed greens and homemade vegan soda bread. 😋

Today I added some baby spinach and chickpeas. Still yum! 😋

You just can’t go wrong with cabbage and potatoes. And always chickpeas!

Good morning and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Am I late to the savory granola game? Omg I love it! I added 1/4 tsp of spirulina to my steel cut oats (for green effect🤩) and topped it with the vegan garlic salt granola I made yesterday.

Great start to this beautiful day!
