Happy Tuesday! I'm sure you know that Easter is right around the corner. Even if you don't celebrate it, or aren't into religious holidays, you've probably seen those adorable bunny and baby chick-shaped cookies in grocery stores and on social media. The best part? You don't have to be into Easter to enjoy those! Of course, most of the time Easter cookies at grocery stores or even in fancy bakeries aren't vegan. Thankfully, I have a perfect vegan Easter cookie recipe on the blog that will...

Spring has officially sprung, and our family has officially been in the mood for recipes with fresh, crunchy springtime vegetables. ...Now that you've overcome the cuteness, I'd like to share with you my recipe for easy springtime potato salad. On one hand, it may seem odd of me to choose a potato salad to feature in today's email - boiled potatoes are far from fresh and crunchy, right? 😄 But on the other hand, this recipe goes way beyond the typical potato salad variety that's made with...

A quick announcement before we proceed: April is here - and you know what that means? The latest Food Revolution Summit Docuseries is about to be released 🥳 To refresh your memory: this is a free online event that shares the latest knowledge about how our diet impacts our health. Over the course of 8 docuseries-style episodes, some of the world’s top health and nutrition experts (not some fad influencers, but actual doctors and researchers!) will share their expertise in an approachable,...

Recently my husband and I were re-watching Seinfeld (a show I would pick over Friends anytime TBH 😎). Among all the ridiculous stuff that happens in that show, there are some fairly smart ideas sprinkled in every now and then. Like eating a BIG salad for lunch. This made me think: I haven't been eating that many salads recently, so I should probably get back into it. Especially since I have a perfect recipe for a salad that's tasty, healthy, AND won't leave you hungry in 30 minutes: my kale...

Today I'd like to share with you a recipe that's been #1 on Vegan Runner Eats for almost a year: my easy 3-ingredient Instant Pot yogurt. (Honestly, if I didn't have an Instant Pot, I'd get one just for this recipe.) I first posted this yogurt recipe as a video on my YouTube channel, and it immediately became the most popular video I've made so far, with 138K+ views to date. Then a few months later, I finally posted this recipe on my blog. Within weeks, it rose to #1 among all of my recipe...

Tell me if it's true: when you first went vegan (or started thinking about eating more plants/less meat), one of the first vegan dishes you've probably tried was some sort of pasta. It's no wonder: there are A LOT of vegan pasta recipes out there. One of the most popular pasta dishes in the (not just vegan) food blogosphere is Bolognese pasta. What's not to love? It's delicious, comforting, and fairly easy to make. Usually vegan Bolognese recipes call for lentils, or mushrooms, or some type...

Did you know that today is International Waffles Day? Well, now you do! To celebrate the occasion, I'd like to share with you our family's go-to vegan waffles recipe. (I'm saying "our family's", not just "mine", because my husband is the official maker of waffles in our house. I only show up when it's time to enjoy the fruits of his labor 😄) Unlike a lot of waffle recipes that are often labor-intensive, mine is simple and quick, plus it calls for simple ingredients you probably have in your...

How do you feel about kale? Few people actually love kale. Instead, most of us either dislike or feel "meh" about it. The reason? Not everyone has a recipe up their sleeve that turns kale from tasting like grass to totally delicious. This is why I'd like to share with you my recipe for easy balsamic kale and onions that's been really popular on my blog lately. If you've been looking for healthy veggie side dishes to spruce up your diet this spring, this recipe definitely hits the spot. The...

Do you have any favorite vegan cookbooks? I love browsing through new vegan cookbooks in bookstores, but I'm very picky about which ones I buy. For me, a perfect cookbook doesn't have to be written by a popular vegan blogger, or be on the top bestseller list, or have the prettiest pictures. My perfect cookbook is the one I actually KNOW I'll be using. How can I know that before I even buy it? I ask 3 simple questions about the book, and if all answers are YES, I go ahead and buy it. The...
