I bought a massive cabbage last week and have been trying to find new ways to use it, as it doesn’t seem to ever finish. I’ve been sneaking it into my daily green juice as well as sautéing it with different vegetables every night. Most recently, I paired it with white beans and parsley for [...]

Another vegan burger has entered my life, and it’s quite delicious. Using sweet potato and white beans as the base, the burger holds together when cooked, but has a softer bite. Balanced with a few spices and veggies, it’s a nutrition-packed way to enjoy a burger but without all the fillers. Enjoy!
