Spring Pasta Salad
I really love pasta, like really. I wish I liked it less to be honest. This pasta salad is definitely one of my favorites because it’s super light and refreshing. The tricky part is because it’s so light I can easily eat three bowls of it in one sitting, haha! However, it makes for a great addition to any cookout or spring time gathering, plus it is incredibly simple and quick to make!
Spring Pasta Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients
1, 12 ounce box of jovial gluten free fusilli (or pasta of choice)
1 ,12 ounce bag of frozen shelled edamame
1, 12 ounce bag of frozen sweet white corn
1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 bunch of green onions, diced small
1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil
1/8 cup nutritional yeast
Juice from one whole lemon
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon herbamare (or sea salt)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional topping: diced avocado
Directions
Cook your pasta according to pasta directions.
While your noodles cook, begin chopping and putting all of the other ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Add your cooked noodles to the rest of the ingredients and toss well.
Season to taste.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator, but please note that gluten free noodles typically do not keep well or make for good leftovers.
Enjoy!

Pair this muffin with an oat milk latte and have yourself a good mood kind of day. I triple dog dare you :)
My first try at baking with aquafaba turned out better than anticipated, and who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies?!
For the longest time I didn’t understand people who ate savory breakfasts. I was ALWAYS a sweet breakfast or more fruit based kind of person. This is where crepes come in.
Once upon a time there was a cafe in OKC that served the absolute BEST quinoa chorizo tacos. After they closed down I knew I had to recreate one of my favorite weekend brunch traditions. While my version is not 100% exact to theirs, it is definitely less oil-filled and on the healthier (but still delicious!) side.
Why granola? Because “good” store-bought granola is still LOADED with sugar and it’s also like $12 for a very small bag which I find ridiculous.
When I was living in Amsterdam several years ago and working as a raw food chef, banoffee pie or banoffee parfaits were on the rage. I pretty much love anything with banana, so I was a huge fan!
When the weather shows signs of warming up I pretty much immediately start craving cold foods and more snack-like meals.
When I was growing up mac & cheese was a weekly staple, if not more. Since going plant-based 9ish years ago, I think I’ve finally come to accept that NO vegan version of mac and cheese is truly ever going to taste “the same,” but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as delicious!
With warmer days upon us, I have been seriously craving fresh herbs like mint and dill. It sounds kind of strange to put them together in this salad, but it is light, crisp, and refreshing.

Sometimes, you just need chocolate. And by you, I mean me. I pretty much always have a weakness for chocolate, so if I can find a way to sneak it into my breakfast smoothie I am ALL IN.
I made this recipe back in January after completing my 21-day Community Cleanse Program. It was the perfect “treat” after sticking to the program for 21-days. However, I’m pretty sure you and your families will enjoy this one any time of year!
