Coconut Milk Riced Cauliflower Risotto
This recipe is not only super simple and easy to throw together. But it’s also gluten-free, grain-free, keto-friendly and vegan! I use cauliflower rice with a coconut milk base along with a few simple seasonings. Perfect as the main to your plant-based meal or serve it as a cozy side.
Vegan Korean Miso Soup
My husband, Russell Case, learned how to make this dish in Andong, South Korea, back in 1997 and it was the first meal he ever cooked for me! ❤️ It’s super easy and so delicious! I’m sure it will make everyone fall in love with you! LOL - it worked for Russell!
Pesto Zucchini Noodle Bowl
This delicious Pesto Zucchini Noodle recipe is not only vegan, but it is also low-carb and Keto-friendly! I love this pesto sauce made with walnuts instead of pine nuts. If you’re looking for a delicious alternative to pasta, give this recipe a try!
Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower
Here’s a little secret… I really didn’t like cauliflower for a long time. But, if you want to be successfully vegan and ketogenic at the same time, you’ve got to learn to love the cauliflower. I’ve discovered that it is actually an incredibly versatile vegetable! These baked cauliflower bites taste fantastic simply baking in the oven with the buffalo sauce. But… to make them a little bit crispy… there’s no getting around it – these buffalo cauliflower bites taste amazing when they’re breaded!
Intermittent Fasting for Beginners
A Difficult Truth to Swallow... 😬 If you’re struggling with jump-backs, lift-ups, and arm-balances... I’m going to get real with you here... it might just be that lingering 5lbs extra that’s causing the problem. Read about how to simply change the times that you’re eating and experience some incredible health benefits, which include weight loss!
Vegan Bulletproof Coffee
There's no better way to start off this month's #AhimsaChallenge then with COFFEE!
Last September I gave up drinking coffee every day. I actually went for almost 3 months without a cup! More recently, I started giving myself a little treat now and again, mostly on the weekends, when I can take my time, relax, and really savor the delicious dark nectar. So this is a vegan-friendly, low-carb (Keto approved) recipe to help kick-start your morning routine!
But you might be wondering... What’s the deal with Bulletproof Coffee anyway?
The original Bulletproof Coffee was meant to be used as a replacement for breakfast to help prolong fasting time by postponing your first meal of the day until much later in the morning.
*Pro Tip: If you are trying the Vegan-Ketogenic diet, you will most likely want to include some Intermittent Fasting as well... And this easy breakfast recipe can be a great way to kick-start your day without “breaking the fast”!
In this recipe I also include ways to spice up your morning coffee to give it a little extra special touch!
The Balance Between Effort and Ease
Have you ever wondered where the end of your work is? This questions plagues me!
Since the beginning of January, I've definitely been thinking a lot about the difference between becoming and being, and how to strike a balance between effort and ease. The practice of yoga naturally leads us into this sacred space... But it's easy to find ourselves lost in the constant pressure of the busy world closing in around us.
Hail To The Kale Salad
This is one of my all time favorite salads. It is loaded with nutrients, great for cleansing the liver, and super delicious on top of it!
Even when my son was 5 years old, he loved it and he still does. The combination of kale, carrots, cabbage and seeds makes this a salad that is both colorful and crunchy. It’s time for you to eat a rainbow!
Plant-Based Cauliflower-Mushroom Mac & Cheese
This is a delicious vegan-gluten-free Mac & Cheese recipe. The fried mushrooms (and broccoli if you choose) is added into the sauce after you blend it to make it smooth. The sauce itself is made with plant milk, cauliflower and cashews (you can also use walnuts). We use gluten-free pasta, but you’re welcome to use whatever pasta you like!
Kheer - A Traditional Indian Dessert
Creamy Rice Kheer, also known as Indian Rice Pudding, is made with 3 simple ingredients: sugar, rice, and milk. It is the quintessential Indian dessert that every Indian child grows up eating. You can flavor it with cardamom, nuts, rose water or saffron to give it a little extra excitement. I like to add cinnamon and clove to mine to spice it up a bit and I also use Maple Syrup instead of sugar for sweetener. I also like to make mine plant-based or vegan, which is very simple to do and very tasty!
Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
This pan roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe will forever change the way you look at these little round vegetables. And if my kid loves them, your kids will love them too!
Vanilla Cashew Whipped Cream
This is the Ultimate Non-dairy Cream!
This is an easy, delicious, plant-based, vegan alternative for whipped cream. You can add it to your pies, cakes, or other tasty deserts. It is so yummy, you won’t miss regular cow’s milk cream one bit.

Kitchari
Kitchari (also called khichdi or khichri) is a one-pot dish that is a basic staple in Ayurveda. It is very nourishing and easy to digest. It is cooked until it reaches a porridge-like consistency.
Be sure to include the ginger powder to reduce excess Vata or Kapha conditions. Leave out the mustard seeds if you are looking to reduce an excess Pitta problem.
Plant-Based "Parmesan" Replacement
This recipe is super easy and it tastes delicious! I like to add it as a topper to salads, pasta, rice, and well… pretty much anything! It’s not exactly “cheesy” tasting, it carries it’s own flavor and it adds a bit of texture or crunch to other dishes.
Quinoa Tabouli Salad
Tabouli or Tabbouleh, is a classic Middle Eastern dish, and it is one of my all-time favorite salads. In a traditional recipe, usually this salad is made with bulgur wheat, but I like to make it with quinoa instead. I also like to add Thai green chili peppers to spice it up, some cilantro, and even some avaocado at the time of serving.
Wellness Wednesday: 10 Tips for Immune System Support
When we talk about ways to boost your immune system or increase immunity, we are really talking about the regular things you can do to reduce stress and toxicity within your physiological systems so that your body can do what it naturally does already more efficiently. When we're stressed, or already overloaded with harmful substances, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is significantly reduced. That is why we become more susceptible to infections.

Super simple plant based, vegan mac and “cheese.” This tastes delicious and is easy to re-create.
