The shift of seasons is already a weird time (is it too early for butternut squash soup? is it too late for peach cobbler? are shorts and long sleeves a weird combo?), but add travel to that and things get weirder. Over the past month, I’ve bounced from the Midwest, to Souther Cali, to New…
Breakfast
Beach Bum Pancakes
Beach Bum Pancakes – an easy, whole food, plant-based breakfast that reminds you of sun, sand, and sea. Does it get any better than that? As August comes to an end and the promise of September looms, I’ve become acutely aware of the fact that the seasons will soon shift. This awareness has me clinging…
Almond Joy Overnight Oats
Almond Joy Overnight Oats – a cool, satisfying breakfast delicious enough to be mistaken for dessert. I was never a fan of Almond Joy candy bars, so I happily picked them out of my Halloween candy stash and gave them to my mom. She loved them. It happens to be her birthday week, so today…
Cocoa-Raspberry Pancakes
Sweet, chocolatey, fluffy Cocoa-Raspberry Pancakes… We’re obviously on a brunch kick.

This post is also the second time we’ve shared our experiments with McDougall’s ready-made soups. We’ve been loving these for quick lunches – whether we’re traveling for…
Oatmeal Blueprint
If you get our weekly email, you know that we cook and eat based on blueprints. The first of our plant eaters’ blueprints starts at the beginning: breakfast. We eat some form of oats for breakfast 99% of the time. From cold to hot, raw to baked, here’s our advice on building a solid oatmeal…
Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Most mornings, you’ll catch us eating oats in one form or another – a classic bowl of oatmeal, our all-time-favorite overnight oats, granola, or baked oatmeal. We swear the rest of our day just doesn’t quite go right without them. This Blueberry Baked Oatmeal makes regular rolled oats feel special enough for a lazy Sunday…
Chunky Banana Granola
We are, without a doubt, creatures of habit. We thrive on routines, and we have A LOT of them. Evening: workout, shower, dinner, tea + reading, J preps coffee for the A.M. / K lights the lavender incense, meditate, sleep. Morning: green juice, coffee, reading, journaling, oats, email, get ready for work. Weekend: same date night,…
Fat Green Smoothie
Sometimes Kayli and I (reluctantly) go to morning workout classes. I say “reluctantly” not because we aren’t early birds (alarm sounds at 530AM every day), but because we adore our habit of slow mornings. On morning exercise days, we forgo our glorious, slow morning routine of coffee-sipping and book-reading in exchange for a jarring, heart-pounding, rather…
