"Love your f*cking life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you're scared to do. F*ck it, because so many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don't waste that sh*t." -Unknown 🙏🏻 Don’t waste it. Not a minute of it... #quotestoliveby Above are a few photographs of my weekend in Capri. 👆🏻 🇮🇹 🚢 🌞 Sometimes the best moments are the unanticipated moments- and the most beautiful friendships come about in the most unexpected ways. ✨ And sometimes- we can return to a place we have been to hundreds of times- and experience it through new eyes... enjoying it more than we ever thought we could. #capri 💙 Then again, at the end of the day, nothing really beats Italy...does it? #ladolcevita #amalficoast So that’s what I’m doing, or at least attempting to do- (in case you were wondering): Taking my life and making it the best story in the world!🙌🏻 And thank you to my bears, for convincing me to come to Capri this weekend in the first place- and for being some of the most wonderful friends a girl can have. 🐻 🐻 I am SO #grateful for you two.... and missing you like crazy. #partnersincrime Oh and by the way, @capripalace , you’re my new favorite! Thank you for the incredible hospitality... I cannot wait to return! 💙
Brown rice bowls. Couldn't decide on whether I wanted Thai or Mexican flavors, so I did a bit of both! This is #coconut #lime brown #rice (and a touch of ginger) with black beans and avocado. Filling, healthy, and totally yummy! #vegan #glutenfree lunch for the family on a Tuesday afternoon by the beach 🏖 Ingredients: Two cups short grain #brownrice 1 can coconut milk 3 cups vegetable broth 2 1-inch pieces of #ginger Juice and zest from two small limes 5 shallots 1 Tropea (purple) onion 1 can #blackbeans 1 hass #avocado Pinch of Himalayan salt (to taste) Dried chili peppers (for garnish and if you want a little kick 👊🏻🌶🌶) Instructions: Sauté the onion, shallots and ginger in a bit of oil (coconut or olive works best) Once the onions are translucent, add the rice (after rinsing it). Stir for about 5 minutes or until the rice is toasted and add the coconut milk, a chili pepper if desired and the broth. Stir and reduce heat. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat and stir in the lime zest and juice, black beans and avocado chunks. Add salt as needed. Garnish as desired, serve and enjoy! 💚🌱🙌🏻 #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantstrong
I love pancakes. Therefore, I make A LOT of pancakes. One day I’ll post a list of my top recipes but for today, I’ll share one of my favorite recipes for blueberry pancakes. It’s VERY easy so don’t get intimidated- and they come out delicious (and kid approved) every single time. (And maybe this will sweeten up your Monday! 😉) 🥞 🙏🏻 Gluten free vegan blueberry #pancakes Ingredients: 1 cup gluten free flour (I make my own mix with rice flours and a couple different starches) 1 tbsp ground flaxseed 2 tsp baking powder 2 tap ground cinnamon Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt 2 tbsp maple syrup 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1/2 cup blueberries Instructions: In a medium bowl, sift and mix the flour, flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, mix the maple syrup, vanilla, applesauce, and milk. Pour half of the liquid mix into the dry ingredients and stir. As you stir, continue adding the liquid ingredients until a good consistency is reached. Make sure the #batter doesn’t get too runny. Once the batter has become a homogenous mixture with no lumps, fold in the blueberries... make sure not to squish them! 😀 Heat a small pan or pancake griddle and pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each #pancake - cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown , begin to cook the pancakes, using about 1/4 cup of the batter for each one. Enjoy!! #plantbased #pancakestack #eatclean #livewell #monday
Homemade coconut yogurt (because probiotics are everything!) with detoxifying #greensmoothie topped with nuts and fruit. 💚🍌🌱 #parfait just because... ⭐️ I made the coconut yogurt with live cultures and coconut milk- and left it to ferment in the dehydrator... it's a long"ish" process but worth it in the end...and the #smoothie was made with: 1 frozen banana 1 large handful baby spinach 1 1-inch piece ginger 3/4 cup water 2 tbsp #hemp seeds 1 tbsp coconut butter 1 tsp #matcha powder Juice from 1/2 lemon All blended in my #vitamix and topped with pomegranate, blueberries and #raw pistachios. #smoothiebowl #greenjuice #plantbased #superfoods #wholefoods #vegan 💚 #eatplants #clean
When you make #peanutbutter (cause you have a #vitamix and you just....can’t..help...it.) and then you make #peanutbuttercookies 🙌🏻⭐️✌🏻 #yum I made these quick and easy and absolutely freaking delicious #glutenfreevegan peanut butter cookies and after eating about 1/4 of the cookie dough- took this pic. Recipe below. They are worth making- trust me. And btw - quick question: what’s with the fork tine indentations in peanut butter cookies? Why do all peanut butter cookies have them and why don’t we do it on other cookies? Thoughts welcome... ⭐️🙄 Peanut butter cookies recipe (before I forget): Ingredients (for about 14 medium cookies): 1 cup peanut butter (mine was homemade but try to find pure unsweetened unsalted organic #peanutbutter ) 1/4 cup mashed #banana Seeds scraped from 1 Madagascar vanilla bean (it doesn’t really need to be from Madagascar!) 6 tbsp white rice flour 2/3 cup unrefined coconut palm sugar 1.5 tsp baking powder Large pinch of Himalayan salt Instructions: Heat the oven to 180C/350F Mash the banana and mix it with the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl and then mix in the wet. If it’s still a little too dry to form a dough- add a touch more mashed banana. Knead until a homogenous #dough is formed then wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for an hour. Roll out, form into cookie shapes and bake on a baking sheet for 8-9 minutes, Let cool COMPLETELY and enjoy! #thereyougo #plantbased #calories 😅❤️🍪 #vegan #cookies #peanuts #love #yumm #cookie #vegandessert #protein
Marinated artichokes. I love marinated #artichokes I've always found that having them around is a quick and easy way to spice up many meals- from #aperitivo snacking to throwing them into salads or over pasta. The problem is that most store bought marinated artichokes include ingredients like refined sunflower oil. Therefore, I started making my own artichokes. (Btw- conquering the #artichoke was one of my last, but most satisfying #wholefoods feats). Artichokes are not easy to work with: they take a lot of prep and time to cook but the results are so very worth it. These artichokes have been cleaned, steamed, de-hearted and marinated. I made the marinade with lemon, thyme, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, hemp seed oil, Apple cider vinegar, chili flakes and Himalayan salt. 💛🌻💛 #marinating #plantbased #plantstrong #foodart #carciofi
