Yellow Split Pea Casserole
For some reason, I don’t often see healthy vegan recipes like this split peas recipe. If they do, they usually call for green split peas. This dish uses yellow split peas and yellow zucchini, but is totally versatile so go for green/green if that’s what you find in the store. Different colors mean slightly different

Green Mexican Rice
This Mexican rice recipe is an example of the huge variety of healthy vegan recipes you can make with rice because it’s so versatile. This rice dish has as much greens in it as a salad, but made into a spicy Mexican sauce. Have this as a side to a vegetable or bean dish, or

Tomato Cucumber Avocado Salad
This tomato cucumber avocado salad is a really easy way to enjoy some fresh vegetables on a hot summer day. It’s like a cross between fresh salsa and guacamole. Getting some raw garlic in your healthy vegan recipes is a great idea, too. What do you think? Let me know below.

Moist Sweet Potato Biscuits
This sweet potato biscuits recipe was given to me by a friend a few years ago. It wasn’t vegan, but was easily adapted. These biscuits are perfect as part of a holiday meal, and incorporate sweet potatoes in a different way than usual. Vegan Christmas recipes for sweet potatoes are often my favorites since I

Self-protection “If I weren’t eating and thinking abt the shame, I would be thinking about all the things in my life which are not right (loss of a best friend relationship and the decline of my marriage).

Quick Protein-Rich Salad

Spiced Applesauce
This is an idea for a tasty side dish for your holiday meal, or bake it with porridge for breakfast or have it as a light dessert. You can use whatever spices you like – I went traditional in the video, though I would have loved to add some cardamom for a unique flavor.

Sunflower Nori Snack Rolls
I was inspired to make these first by a snack I picked up at a grocery store, then remembered seeing a recipe on my friend Gena’s site for nori rolls with ginger pate (http://www.choosingraw.com/raw-nori-cigars-with-gingery-sunflower-seed-pate/). Turned out Gena was inspired by a post by another friend Ricki (http://www.rickiheller.com/2010/10/its-my-birthday-have-a-cigar/), who was inspired by a restaurant in NY.

Sweet Purple Funghi Burger
Beets are wonderfully nourishing, and have a unique phytonutrient called betalain. It works as an antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory (though there’s a caveat below), and a detoxification aid. Betalain starts to decrease when beets are heated, so to maximize the betalain content, cook these as little as possible. That said, other nutrients in beets become more
