Amaranth porridge with blueberries, cherries, basil, fennel, and flowers. Herbs contain unique health benefits from their flavonoids and volatile oils. The science on herbs is fascinating.  For example, basil contains a volatile oil that blocks an enzyme in the body called cyclooxygenase (COX). Many non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), like aspirin and ibuprofen, work by inhibiting this same enzyme. Studies show that basil can help heal and provide relief from inflammation, and may be particularly beneficial for arthritis.  It's my post-workout drug of choice ;) #wfpb #foodismymedicine #healingherbs #basilbreakfast #veganporridge #amaranth #wholegrains #antiinflammatory #berriesforbreakfast #FoodRx #highvibes #yogafood #veanbreakfast #foodscience

Two grilled thin crust sprouted grain pizzas for Tuesday's dinner: One red made with sweet pepper, tomato and fig, and one green made with a mash of green beans, walnuts, and garlic scapes.  Each loaded with veggies and fresh basil. Made for a quick and easy dinner -- they cook in less than 5 minutes at 600 degrees :) #wfpb #veganpizza #wholegrains #sproutedgrains #grilledpizza #plantbased #pizzanight #vegangrilling #pizzastone #vegansofig

A very appropriately named KING trumpet mushroom!  We grilled these majestic fungi with a light coating of balsamic and coconut aminos.  I like to slice them into rounds and seer them until just tender.  The texture and flavor is deep umami, meaty and light at the same time.  Mushrooms are one of the few plant-based foods (though not technically a plant) that contain vitamin-D.  On these gray rainy summer days, I feel a boost when I incorporate more mushrooms in my cooking. #wfpb #kingtrumpets #incrediblefungi #veganbbq #adaptogens #ediblesunshine #umami #plantbased #yogafood

Blueberry Cream Pie - made entirely of whole foods (no added oils, sweeteners, refined flours, etc.). The filling is fresh blueberries, ground chia seeds to thicken, and lemon juice.  The crust is ground almonds, ground flax, and a dash of salt.  The cream is cashew, vanilla bean, date, and lemon zest. I wanted to make a less sweet version of this summer classic pie and was quite happy with the result.  The crust is pre-baked and for the filling I made on the stovetop with half the blueberries until it formed a jammy texture, and then I added the rest of the fresh blueberries.  Everything held together nicely, the crust came out flaky, and the flavors meld beautifully.  #wfpb #veganblueberrypie #freshblueberries #homemadepiecrust #glutenfree #nooil #nosugar #summerdesserts #organicproduce #healthydesserts #veganpie #halfbakedhalfraw #notfullyraw #highvibes #yogafood

Sprouted tongue of fire beans.  I always try to sprout my beans before cooking them.  Most organic beans -- even if bought in bulk -- will sprout.  Sprouting is a great reminder that plant-based foods, even dried beans, are living foods.  They just need a little soak to wake up!  Sprouting also unlocks more of the nutrients and makes bean more digestible. The food we eat provides the energy we need to thrive.  So why not eat more of what comes alive!  In particular, beans are a staple food of the healthiest, longest-lived, happiest people on the planet living in the "Blue Zones." #highvibes #livingfood #sprouting #beansprouts #wfpb #plantbased #foodRx #yogafood #Bluezones #heirloombeans #tongueoffire

Nature's candy - #PYO organic blueberries at @honeybrookorganic #CSA. How would you describe the flavor to someone who has never had blueberries before? There is no other fruit that is close to the sweet plump velvety true blues. #farmshare #wfpb #organicproduce #summerfruits #plantbased #highcarbvegan #highvibes #heavenonearth
