Make dinner easy tonight with this ramen upgrade. Forbidden black rice ramen combined with tofu and vegetables makes this a healthy, easy meal. This post is all about vegan black rice ramen Ramen, it’s comfort food beloved worldwide by college students, struggling creatives, and everyone who hates cooking.

Besides, today we’re talking about a pretty healthy upgrade from your standard nineteen cent bowl of noodle soup. I’m always…

Easy White Bean Herb & Vegetable Soup (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a very grey week so far and I’m feeling like a warm comforting soup is in order today. Well, if the recent state of grocery shelves are any indication, there are a lot of people with a lot of beans right now. Hey, I’m not complaining about it, I think it’s pretty awesome actually. Beans are an extremely healthy staple food that seem to get ignored under most circumstances. Let’s just count it as one of the positive side-effects from this crazy time, beans finally getting the appreciation they deserve. Another positive side-effect is that way more people are in their kitchens cooking instead of eating out all week. I’d say…

Blackberry Activated Charcoal Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m back from Hawaii but I’m still craving all the fruit. So charcoal in a smoothie, health benefit or aesthetic benefit? Let’s be real, it’s both. Ever since I started taking food photos I’ve definitely loved jumping on any visually captivating health trends. It’s not just for looks though. Charcoal has a lot of reasons to be consumed aside from it’s striking color. I remember my mom using it when my youngest sister was born because it’s great for helping relieve gas in infants. Another benefit, it’s great at filtering toxins. Have you ever used one of those nifty water-filtering pitchers, yeah well those have charcoal in them. It has a similar effect…

Plant-Powered Oat Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
Okay, tell me if you do this too…. You’re walking down the protein bar aisle slightly holding your breath because you’re so hoping that the one or two brands that aren’t complete trash happen to be on sale. Then you check the price and realize that even if they were on sale they’re still a little pricey for you to be buying on a regular basis. Then you console yourself by realizing that unless you’re traveling or extremely short on time they really aren’t the best option. Am I the only one? Maybe it’s just me. I do know that there are some really delicious options for making protein packed bars to eat…

Cookie Dough Rawnola (Vegan+GF)
Wow, January is over already? That was so fast! I have a feeling the rest of the year isn’t going to be any slower, but I’m kind of wishing there was a pause button. You know, so we could get our lives together a little bit. I don’t know, maybe that’s part of the beauty of life, that none of us know what we’re doing. What I do know is that 2020 has plenty of space for all the healthy treats. This being one of my favorites lately. Now before I tell you about the recipe maybe some disclaimers are in order. Again, this is 2020 and things aren’t the same as they…

Persian (Iranian) Jeweled Basmati Rice Pilaf
I hope you’re all in the mood for a little excursion with your tastebuds! Hey, it’s the no-passport-required way to travel, don’t you love that? So this is me updating an old recipe from quite a few years ago. I remember the first time making this a friend of mine offered to share some of his awesome cooking with me and my family. He said he was going to bring over some Persian food (with extra saffron) for dinner to go with whatever sides I wanted to make. I’ve always been thrilled with those kinds of arrangements. I got to be in charge of the sides for that dinner. In fact, since I’m…
