  • The Down Low on Carrageenan

    The Down Low on Carrageenan

    If you are a regular food-label-reader like me, then you may have heard of carrageenan before. It’s in nut milks, yogurts, prepackaged meals, and deli meats – just to name a few things. It is often found in dairy alternatives (sour cream, yogurt, cheese), as it is used as a thickening agent. Now that we…

    Pesto Potato Salad 

    This ain’t your mama’s potato salad! No really, it’s not – it’s my mama’s. Well, that’s where this idea came from anyways. My mom stopped by to give me a hug the other day (she’s amazing and always stops by for hugs) and she shared this idea about a potato salad that was a little…

    Netflix Review: “What’s with Wheat”

        I find food trends fascinating, and I would be interested in getting a show of hands as to how many people have or have tried – heck even considered giving up wheat or gluten this year.

    Gorgeous people, left, right, and centre! Welcome to another Plant Powered Pizza Friday. Who likes BBQ? Wait let me rephrase that: who doesn’t like BBQ?

    Farmer’s Market Scallops 

    Inspiration for a beautiful meal is everywhere. It’s online, it’s at the grocery store, it’s in a magazine.
