Most of the time, all I’m craving is a big bowl of pasta 🍝😍|| vegan and gluten free mac and cheese with a dollop of @traderjoes pesto and fresh basil, blanched broccoli, and more @beyondmeat sausage because I’m obsessed 😂 Enjoyed in the sunshine! ☀️

Summer on a plate 😎🌭☀️|| I couldn’t tell you the last time I had any sort of hot dog - maybe a rubbery veggie dog 7 years ago? But when I grabbed some gluten-free buns from @purelovebakery I knew I had to get my favorite @beyondmeat sausage and pull something together. With some vegan cheese, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard they turned out SO good. I decided to lean all in to traditional barbecue food and made the dill pickle pasta salad from @blissfulbasil and grabbed some avocado oil potato chips 🤤

The pineapple mango salsa from my last post allllllll nestled in with some lettuce, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, and spicy jackfruit. Then smothered in a creamy cilantro avocado dressing 👌🏻🍍🥬

I just really really like plants and I’m amazed by how beautiful they can be 😍🥭🍍|| I’ve always loved pineapple and mango salsa but my disdain of red onion makes pre-made salsa not an option 🙅🏼‍♀️ For this one I finely diced some pineapple, mango, jalapeño, and cilantro and added some lime juice, sea salt, and chili powder. SO good mixed up in a salad with sweet potatoes, black beans, and spicy jackfruit 🌶

The perfect summer meal = these fresh spring rolls 🤤🥕🥒🥬|| rice noodles, shredded carrots, cucumber, peanuts, and chopped lettuce with cilantro, mint, lime juice, and sesame seeds. Served with a spicy peanut sauce, obviously 👌🏻🥜

Don’t mind me, just eating allllll of these #vegan #glutenfree s’mores bars ☀️🍫

Hi Summer, you’re pretty 👋🏻🍓|| found some local strawberries at the market and just had to buy them. Pro tip: soak nice fresh strawberries like these in a water/vinegar mix. Then rinse and air dry for a bit and store in the fridge in a container with a paper towel at the bottom. Whenever I do this my berries last such a long time! That is unless I eat them all tonight.. 😋 #onepartplantxwholefoods

No better cure for a case of the Mondays than looking forward to making pizza for dinner 🤤🍕|| vegan sausage, cheese, roasted red peppers, arugula, and a spicy cashew cheese sauce 👌🏻

Oh, hello Summer 👋🏻☀️|| spicy fried cauliflower, arugula, rice salad from an old family recipe that I recently veganized, plus a watermelon lime slushie 😎🍉

I like to think of myself as a vegan doughnut connoisseur - I’ve tried a lot! 🍩🍩🍩 They’re my favorite sweet thing to eat and I’ve accumulated some favorites over the years. @voodoodoughnut from a vacation to Portland, Oregon; @cinnamonsnail and @dunwelldoughnuts from my time living in New York; @crosstowndoughnuts from London; and @bostoncommoncoffee and @unionsquaredonuts from my time working in Boston. Can #nationaldoughnutday be everyday?! Also, can someone bring me one of these because now I’m drooling...🤤

If anyone needs me this weekend, I’ll just be on the couch with this @miyokoscreamery vegan cheese and these @vansfoods gluten-free crackers 🤤

Gluten-free pizza crust has always been tricky for me. It normally takes a ton of effort, doesn’t crisp well, and then I’m left feeling disappointed 😔🍕 I finally tried the pre-made dough from my favorite @purelovebakery and it’s a total game changer for me! Both puffy AND crispy 🤯|| I covered it in a cashew cheese sauce, roasted red peppers, basil, @daiya mozzarella, and @beyondmeat spicy sausage. Holy yum! 🤤

When ya feel like garbage and have been sick for a solid month and can’t taste your food, @annieshomegrown #vegan AND #glutenfree mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort 😷🥣

Yesterday I felt like garbage. After moping around the house for a while I came to the conclusion that I needed to go to Whole Foods and get one of their TTLA sandwiches (tomato, tempeh bacon, lettuce, and avocado on this amazing ciabatta bread) 😍. It’s one of my very favorite things and yet I try not to get it because gluten and soy are triggers for my joint pain among other things. I told my fiancé (wow, first time writing that 😂😱) and he asked me if I really wanted to go. I said “yes it will make me so happy.” He considered that for a second and then, in such a sweet way, said that I won’t be happy after I eat it and my body is in pain. He was right, of course. Even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear 😂. So instead I decided to go out and get the ingredients to make my own, on gluten-free bread. Still got the tempeh - because I love it and it doesn’t affect my body as badly as gluten does and I figured it was a compromise. Today I made the sandwich and it was glorious. The end. 🍅🥓🥬🥑

Peanut loves @purelovebakery just as much as I do! I snagged some Easter treats (like this funfetti doughnut) and Peanut got to greet all the customers 😂🍩

I’ve been a big fan of savory chickpea flour pancakes for a few years now but this recipe from @thefirstmess reminded me that I really need to eat them more often. 🤤 Especially with roasted asparagus, radishes, and a lemon tahini sauce! 🍋🍴

Last night’s sushi feast for ✌🏻🍱|| I could literally eat vegan sushi every single day and it would make me insanely happy. Peanut avocado rolls are my absolute favorite 😍🥑🥜

Constantly dreaming of vegan and gluten-free baked goods 🤤💭🍩

The ultimate way to jazz up a frozen pizza is with a homemade cashew cheese drizzle on top 🤤🍕

My winter “menu” pretty much just consists of bowls of brown rice with roasted veggies, avocado, and creamy cashew cheese sauce 👌🏻🥑 || this one used sweet potato, yellow squash, and rainbow chard!
