Vegan Ragu Bolognese

As the nights get longer and colder, we often turn to hearty dishes to warm our bodies and souls. This vegan twist on a classic ragu bolognese is the perfect recipe for cold winter weekends.

Packed to the brim with vitamins and fiber, it's so deep and rich and savory, you’ll be surprised there’s no meat, and even more surprised at how macro friendly it is.

Miso Roasted Veggies

Stop steaming your veggies!

I mean, you can steam them if that’s really how you prefer. But there’s a whole world of flavor out there! Your veggies don’t have to be bland and a necessary evil to your meals. Make them the star!

Root Vegetable Fries

It’s officially my favorite time of year. The weather is warming up and I’m so excited for the barbecue season. And what goes better with some grilled meat or a juicy burger than a side of fries? I love french fries, but they’re one of those foods that I eat mindlessly and before I know it I’ve consumed an excessive amount of carbs! Not that there’s anything wrong with carbs, but I thought, what if I could make them a little lower carb and really indulge? Plus, at any good barbecue, there are going to be a variety of delicious options, so you’ll want to have enough carbs to try everything.
