Whole Foodie Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite, especially when they include oatmeal. Make them vegan with no oil or processed sugars and you’ve got a cookie I wont pass up. I love these so much, I only make them when I have a lot of friends to share them with because I will eat the whole batch!

1 cup rolled oats

1 cups walnuts

1 tsp baking soda

1 cups dates soaked in 1/2 cup water until soft

1 T apple cider vinegar

1 t vanilla

 

Spicy Thai Kale & Chic Peas

I have fallen in love with Indian food! The flavor is so AMAZING with all the wonderful spices! Kick up the heat in this dish by adding a little cayenne pepper. This Spicy Thai Kale dish is such a quick and easy dish to make, it’s satisfying and super nutritious! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 cup short grain brown rice

1 onion, finely chopped

1 T minced fresh ginger

2 t chili powder

1 t turmeric

1 t cumin 

1 t coriander

1/2 cup diced mild green chilies

2 cups chopped cremini mushrooms

1 cup water

8 oz. kale, finely chopped (about 1 bunch)

1 1/2 cups cooked chic peas

1 14 oz. can crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup natural unsalted peanut butter

Sea salt

 

Boil 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Add rice, cover, lower heat, and cook until tender, about 25 – 30 minutes.

Dry sauté onion and ginger for 3 minutes, adding a tablespoon of water if needed to keep from sticking.  Add spices, green chilies, mushrooms, chopped kale, and water. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium, and cook until kale is tender. Stir in chic peas and tomatoes, and continue to cook 5 more minutes. Stir in peanut butter and serve over desired amount of rice.  Salt to taste.

“I’ve been using the recipes in your cookbooks. I love the Spicy pumpkin soup and your mustard potatoes…. yum! I cook up a batch of the potatoes and freeze them to use for meals for my brother. Usually potatoes get mushy in the freezer but these seem to be OK. I tried the Peppermint Patty’s and really liked them too! Thanks!”  K. Page, St. George, Utah

“I just love your cookbooks! I’ve been gradually working towards a plant based diet since about 2012 and have used a few really good cookbooks – the happy herbivore books, the China Study Books, Engine 2 etc — which all gave me a great foundation for this approach. Your cookbooks have offered new ways of seeing some of the recipes . I’ve made a few of the deserts, some of the loafs, and breakfasts. Great use of herbs and spices, and I like the fact that the ingredients are very simple to use. ” Thanks again, Sue

Whole Food Goodness and Whole Food American Favorites contain a collection of my favorite high nutrient whole food plant based recipes. My recipes are unique in that they contain no extracted oils, minimal processed sugars, and limited processed grains. I use an abundance of leafy green vegetables, which are the healthiest foods on the planet and have the greatest power to cleanse, detoxify, and repair damaged cells and bring you greater health for life.

Along with the recipes, you will find quotes from some of my favorite nutrition experts and documented research studies that will tell you why it’s important to eat a plant based diet. Knowledge is power and it is my hope and prayer that these books will help you gain the strength and determination to make the changes necessary that will bring you excellent health throughout your entire life!
