A recipe for a smoothie may seem a little unnecessary, but my main objective here is to shine a light on all the wonders that is hibiscus kombucha. I’ve been brewing kombucha for the better half of a decade now and drinking respectable quantities of straight hibiscus tea all the while, but it wasn’t until…

Lentil Meatball Subs
The Absolutely Perfect Lentil Loaf defines the word “favorite” for us over here, something that we always look forward to eating. We try to eat it as often as we can and in as many forms as we can! Over the next few posts I’m going to show some of my favorite ways to utilize…
Instant Pot Smokey Beans
I’ve been slow on posting this truly banger of a beans recipe since it requires a bit of, I don’t know..finesse, I guess. Since you use the brine from cooking the beans to make the velvety sauce, you need to have a more or less precise amount of water left after cooking them (which is…
Raw Brownie Energy Bars
These raw brownie protein bars are good in every sense of the word. They’re plant based with no heavily processed ingredients, are able to be made completely waste free and are really damn tasty. We’ve been making a batch once a week for such a long time now that I can’t imagine life without them….
Portobello Breakfast Burger
It’s a pretty rare occurrence to eat something that is both one of the tastiest things you’ve ever eaten and one of the healthiest things you’ve ever eaten. All my boyfriend does while eating these portobello breakfast burgers is repeat ‘oh my god’ while looking bewildered, like he had just woken up from a particularly strange…
Vegan Pho
This is the 20th huge pot of pho I’ve made since September, so I figured it was finally time to give it the attention it so rightfully deserves and demands on the blog. Pho is one of the most addicting and nourishing things I’ve ever come across. If you don’t want to get sick this…
Pickled Watermelon Tonic
It’s safe to say this is one of my favorite beverages I’ve ever had. I made it earlier this summer for a canoe trip down the Milwaukee River and then across a bit of Lake Michigan with my neighbors. It tastes like..what it is right now, the peak of summer. It’s a great drink…
Pear Cider Vinegar
This post has been a long time in the making – I took the first pictures for it on March 19th, nearly 3 months ago. But all good things take time – and this, believe me, is very, very good. It certainly helps that it’s also practically free. If you know me and my boyfriend…
Walnut Butter with Dates & Vanilla
This post probably doesn’t need to exist. Making nut butters is so simple, intuitive even. But, I suppose, if I inspire even one person to make vs. buy then I’ve done my job. I’ve also got a post in the works that uses this walnut butter so I figured why not give it it’s own…
Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is one of the most popular fermented dishes, especially in Wisconsin. It’s easy to make and is as rich with vitamins as it is history. It’s been around for 4,000+ years and was the only vegetable that supplemented the rice fed to workers building the Great Wall of China. It was used as an ancient Roman pharmaceutical. The antioxidant…
