Is it weird that I won't eat broccoli stems, but I like broccoli slaw? Especially in the form of this Apple Edamame Slaw Salad with Peanut-Ginger Dressing from #HealthyHappyVeganKitchen by @kathypatalsky! I've always adored her salads and how she incorporates fruit, and this one definitely doesn't disappoint! We ate this on its own, but it would be so great with sloppy joes or some such summery BBQ food. Next time! #vegan #plantbased #glutenfree #raw #vegetarian #hhvk #whatveganseat #vegansalad #broccolislaw #edamame #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #vegansofig #slaw

Calling all chocolate lovers!! ❤️ Just made @kathypatalsky's Easy Almond Butter Cups. For the kids. *Ahem* I may have tried one, or two. 🙊 But hey, they're only made with 4 simple ingredients: extra dark chocolate, coconut oil, almond butter, and maple syrup. That's gotta count for something right? 😁

Blueberry Farro Spinach Salad from #HealthyHappyVeganKitchen! This might be my fave from the book so far (but only the third thing I've made, so I still got a ways to go). It was super simple and super delicious. My husband was really hungry though so I diced and pan-fried some Beyond Meat chick'n to add in and it really took it over the top (making it feel a little more like a complete meal). Only sad part is the recipe only serves two and so we ate it ALLLLLLL (even the baby joined in eating it)! I want more! #vegan #plantbased #glutenfree #vegetarian #salad #blueberries #spinach #farro #almonds #eatyourveggies #eatyourgreens #dairyfree #vegansofig #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #veganfoodshare #vegansaladporn #hhvk

Celery is one of my least favorite vegetables. There's just something about the texture of it that keeps me from enjoying it, but I love peanut butter! Celery with peanut butter and goji berries was actually pretty good, despite my dislike of celery. #HHVK2015Challenge #HealthyHappyVeganKitchen #vegan #vegansnack #peanutbutter #organic #celery #whatveganseat #glutenfree
