food to eat: Go Omnivore

Tortilla Soup

You're gonna make some bomb tortilla soup that could easily compete with that overpriced version you devour after your three margaritas.

Hoisin Lettuce Wraps

I've always been a huge fan of P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps, and I always knew I wanted to learn how to make them. It turns out: They're really effing easy to recreate. 

bolognese sauce

Nonna Tina is one of the best cooks I've had the pleasure of knowing. Her bolognese recipe is the one I've eaten for years, and it's the one I still cook to this day.

BOOM, ROASTED: One of my favorite things to do with Brussels sprouts is roast them, because they taste a shit ton better that way... let’s be real. And when I’m making them as a snack or side dish, I pair them with a dope sauce to drizzle on top. My roasted Brussels with honey balsamic dressing is up on my blog now and I’m excited for you to see how simple ingredients + simple cooking techniques can make for something simply delicious.

KALE ME MAYBE: We interrupt your usual hangover Sunday posts with this beautiful bowl of sautéed kale. My secret to perfection? Olive oil, salt, lemon juice, high heat and your full attention for just 10 minutes. Soften the greens without losing the color... life motto.
MOO-VE OVER COWS: With Easter falling on April Fool’s Day this year, I ran to @wholefoodsmilford to pick up my favorite dessert to bring to a friend’s for the holiday, because @nadamoo makes trickery taste delicious. My favorite flavor is the maple pecan, because you open it and get the most amazing aroma in your face of syrup and warm pecans and happiness. And then you take a bite and it’s creamy AF. Absolutely greatness. Just don’t forget who put you on when you’re binge-watching your show and this is in your lap. #MakesMeWhole
BEYOND THE BELL: My second April Fool’s prank with @wholefoodsmilford is my homemade 100% plant-based crunchy wrap stacker. I don’t even want to compare it to that fast-food version I used to pretend was reserved for drunk nights because this is so far beyond that. This is good for you. This is real. This is delicious. And because of @beyondmeat, you won’t even miss that lard-coated nonsense from those other guys. My blog post with all my favorites will be up later this week. So get hungry and get ready.
TACO BOUT PLANTS 🌮: With April Fool’s Day around the corner, I’ve decided this year I’m all about fooling my friends and family into eating better and healthier without even knowing it. Thanks to @wholefoodsmilford I can get everything I need in one place to make the best plant-based tricks, starting with my chipotle tacos. I’ll be rolling out recipes all week to help you fool people in your life too starting tomorrow. So consider this a sneak preview into greatness. #sponsored #MakesMeWhole
LIVE IN COLOR: I’m so excited to introduce @rawnice into my life. Smoothies will be more fun, bowls will be more colorful, and every day will be better. I kind of resent the fact that dragonfruit is as much as a cheap bottle of wine, but I guess it’s good for my soul too.
CHOCOLATE DRUNK 🍫🍷: I thought I might have missed the boat sharing my red wine hot chocolate with you, but I found out that we’re getting hit with more snow tomorrow so instead of bitching about it, I’m going to make this goodness and wait for it all to pass. 3 ingredients, 100% vegan, and too easy to not enjoy even when it’s warm out. Make it more milky, make it more boozy, or make it super thick like I do so you can dunk shit in it. (Link in bio)
DRINKING GREENS: Between work and commitments today, my St. Patrick’s Day is getting spent drinking a ton of my go-to green juice. My @vitamix makes it so easy to blend, and it has the consistency of juice without losing any of the benefits from the raw vegetables. I wish it was beer, but I ain’t mad.
CADO HEAVEN 🥑: I’m almost done writing my recap on @floraweha for the blog so I wanted to tease it with another dish I devoured when I was there. This avocado toast, which includes more avocado than I’ve ever eaten at once in my life, is topped with their “doritos” and hemp seeds. And yes, there is toast under there ... somewhere. It’s the epitome of what happens when someone takes simple ingredients and gives them the stage they deserve. (Read my full review tomorrow)
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE 🍔: Channeled 2008 Kevin Garnett today and tried my first @impossible_foods burger at @floraweha and my life has changed. We added the house-made veganaise and barbecue sauce to it and it was unreal. My full review this amazing spot will be up on the blog tomorrow, but I couldn’t wait to post this photo.

netflix to watch: Transform how you see Food

Ugly Delicious | David Chang

Ugly Delicious is a new series on Netflix created by chef and hilarious man David Chang. This amazing series puts food on a platform like you've never seen before. The stories, the history, the grub. All of it.

Cooked | Michael Pollan & Alex Gibney

This was one of the first documentary series I watched when transitioning to a whole foods diet. It's all about getting back to the basics. And I mean basics. Earth, air, water and fire. That's it.
