Hey y’all. I hope you’ve all been well.

Hey! Welcome to my Retirement Party! I’m so glad you were able to stop by! So, I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve become more and more absent in this space over the last few years and I’m guessing a lot of you saw this coming long before I did, especially if you read my last [...] The post A Retirement Party appeared first on Keepin' It Kind ..read more

As this quarantine picked up pace, I began to notice that not nearly enough bloggers were stepping up to share recipes of chocolate chip banana bread. I mean, if you google the term ‘chocolate chip banana bread’ you only come up with 40 million results. What sort of shit is that? We deserve better!

It seems like every vegan blogger and instagrammer in the known universe (and their collective mothers) has been making and sharing pics of beautifully smashed potatoes.

Well, that’s how this post is going to work. First, look [...] The post Lentil and Mushroom Stuffed Sweet Potatoes appeared first on Keepin' It Kind ..read more

I am a strong believer in the idea that food has the power to help heal you.

For me, most recently the dish that has done the most healing for me [...] The post Vegan Tofu Pad Thai appeared first on Keepin' It Kind ..read more

I am an official ambassador for Dole Fresh. Dole provided me with compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are mine. Before I get down to business about these delicious Strawberry Banana Muffins, I want to talk a bit about my stepkids.

This blog post was sponsored by So Delicious but all opinions are my own. Around this time every year, when the weather starts getting soul-crushingly hot, my body automatically starts rejecting warm meals and yearns to survive only on cold (preferably frozen) food. Recently, I invited a couple friends over for sandwiches. But due to [...] The post Caramel Pecan Frozen Dessert Sandwiches, 2 Ways: Peachy Maple Pecan & Chocolate-Dipped Banana appeared first on Keepin' It Kind ..read more

I’m heading out of town today (YAY!) but I wanted to share a quick post with a quick recipe before I go. This ranch-seasoned corn on the cob is a recipe from my second book, But My Family Would Never Eat Vegan!, and it’s one of my favorite ways to eat corn on the cob.
