Recipe Round-Up: end of summer

The dreaded time has come for summer to end. For me, that means longer work hours and less time at home to slowly take in the pure joy that is preparing my food. When school begins I spend a lot more time on food prep for days at a time and I spend relatively little time getting creative in the kitchen, at least during the week.

For many of you, however, this means getting the kids off to school and hoping to prepare something healthy along the way. The hardest part about the beginning of any new schedule is always the transition. Once you’re acclimated to the new routine then it’s much easier to take over.

Until then: mayhem. 

So I’ve gathered a handful of recipes that make food prep much easier and allow for happy kiddos at the same time. Little snacks that taste like dessert (but are actually healthy) and then also dinner/lunch options that are easy to throw together and pack away, as needed. 
The addictive and easy dressing recipe is my favorite recipe of all time. I make it regularly and use it on many of my salads. It’s always delicious and it’s so easy to make your own. It’s not just for salad, either. It’s a good sauce for anything you want to be saucy.
Cayenne Cacao Balls
Mango Butternut Soup
Raw Falafel 
Homemade PB cups
Addictive, Easy Dressing
Easy Chocolate Pudding
Breakfast Chia Bowl 
Take what you want, save the others for the weekend, and always know this:
Fruit is the ultimate fast food.
Do not ever feel pressured to pack something uber-gourmet. What is the use when cut fruit is easy, delicious, sweet, affordable, and filling? It’s always packed with nutrients and does wonderful things for the body. Do not underestimate the power of fruits and veggies. 
How are your first weeks of school going?? What kinds of healthy snacks do YOU pack??

vegan sweetener guide

hey 👋

I'm Kiki. I am a pretty basic plant-based chick that does yoga and all the things. I try to have as little impact on this planet as I can and I share all the ways I do it here with plant-based vegan food, eco-friendly sustainable living, home gardening, and homemade all natural everything.

I truly believe that if we all do all of the 'little things' then it will add up to make a big difference. I'm so glad that you're here to join me in doing lots of little things.

Let's dig deeper ↠

  • The ads you see generate revenue for me. This is not my livelihood but I do get some change from the ads.
  • If you make a purchase through the Amazon recommendations I make a small percentage from the purchase at no cost to you.
  • Sometimes I receive free samples from companies in order to review for you. I never recommend something that I would not use, myself. I am very protective of my brand and image and feel very strongly about only recommending items I believe in!

Every day, millions of people pray to the river, sending their blessings through the water to be sent through the country, one winding mountainside at a time. To bathe in it is to bathe in prayer.⁠

I mostly just don't like being online cuz it's what I do for work, so when my workday is done, I set my phone down and forget about it until the next morning. ⁠

And I'm definitely not trying to slow down the food-to-mouth process by taking pictures. But if I don't post and comment 24/7, then will Instagram even see it? Will anyone notice? What if I want to build a following, then what? I'm a slave to engagement for the rest of my life until I die? 🤯⁠
