Classic Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies – Chewy, Gooey, Perfect

Let me start by saying that if you are not a chocolate chip cookie fan, you are not human.

We grew up on the classic refrigerated pillsbury dough roll (where …

Loaded “Egg” Sandwich feat. Green Chutney Aioli

Loaded “Egg” Sandwich feat. Green Chutney Aioli

No need for me to re-emphasize my love for JUST egg. It’s super versatile, delish, protein-packed and completely plant based!

Smashed Crispy Potatoes with Calabrian Chili Basil Pesto & Lemon “Cream”

Rose Water Waffles | Vegan

Do you ever just wake up with a sudden sweet craving and in your mind you’re screaming “I WANT EFFING PANCAKESSS & WAFFLES AND SYRUP DRIPPING EVERYWHERE” – and I ain’t talking about Jack Johnson’s banana pancakes (get those white boy pancakes outta here).

Middle Eastern Dinner for 2 in Less than 1 Hour

Move over Halal Guys – I got a simple and delish Middle-Eastern inspired meal thats perfect for a ANY day of the year (see what I did there, ha).
