Happy Valentine’s Day! This year I went all in for a Plantstrong meal. Shout out to Rip Esselstyn of Engine 2 and Chef Jamie of the Culinary Vegetable Institute and Chef’s Garden...I learned some new cooking techniques that are in alignment with WFBP principles. Amazing dinner, wow! And...eating this way will help prevent AND reverse heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and more! Win-Win!

After another absence, I’m still here! Still cooking up lots of WFPB goodness for chronic disease prevention and reversal. Here’s a great warming soup for the brisk winter, an exciting new take on split pea soup. Hint: serve over baby power greens-it will wilt them with the heat AND it’s great for your endothelium! Enjoy!

This cozy soup recipe gets its creamy texture from yellow split peas, potatoes, and corn. Made with smoked paprika, it has a delicious sweet, smoky flavor.

Had this for dinner last night-made the strawberry vinaigrette. Turned it into a hearty salad, didn’t use vegan feta, used a can of garbanzo beans instead! Also added green onions, but red onions would work. And of course, nut free, use pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts! Served with grainy bread...yum!

A simple, super tasty Strawberry Spinach Salad made with soft, deep green spinach, ripe juicy strawberries & buttery avocado & oil-free, strawberry vinaigrette. Vegan feta optional but recommended!

Happy Monday! Just made this lentil stew for dinner...serving it over a plain baked potato with some steamed broccolini on the side. It is fab! AND it has a nut-free option! Never to be one to leave a recipe alone, I added in some sliced white button mushrooms after sautéing the onions and garlic. Bon appetit!
