We love our annual tradition of showcasing the best recipes of each year. As we wrap up the year, we enjoy taking a look back on all that we have accomplished.
We are starting our fourth year of recipe blogging – WOOT! We are so blessed to be able to share our passion of Whole Food Plant Based cooking with you!
Wow, what a challenging year 2020 has been for all of us on so many different levels. We began this year with so much optimism and possibilities, but as this year slowly unfolded the bazaar realization of how 2020 would be continuing started to sink in. It’s incredible how resilient and determined we are as a people, and how we’ve come together even through all the challenges.
Despite all the darkness that has happened in 2020, Michael and I are so thankful to our bright light, Yasmeen. Our daughter, Yasmeen joined our family in April 2020. Her smiling face has given our family so much joy. We are truly blessed.
We are hopeful for the upcoming year and looking forward to sharing more recipes and kitchen adventures with you!
We love our Whole Food Plant Based Community. We have made tons of friends who are like family. We enjoy creating healthy recipes and sharing them with you, our readers.

Happy new year!! So many good recipes! And I have made some from everyone’s list. In fact, I made the vegan stuffed shells soup for lunch today! And it was delicious! Of course.
Looking forward to cooking with you in the new year.

Happy 2021! I so appreciate the wonderful recipes and all the talent and hard work that goes into running a recipe blog. I’ve tried at least a dozen of your recipes since lockdown began and every one of them is a keeper. You absolutely nail the flavor and texture! My husband’s coworkers are always commenting on the delightful aromas of his leftover lunches and asking him about “good vegan blogs”. And I always respond with a link to your blog. So, when is the cookbook coming out? 😉
Hi there Christina 🙂
