This bowl was inspired by the sun, yes – the sun. As I was driving home from work on my lunch break I couldn’t help but have this overwhelming feeling of love for the sun…It truly gives life to everything… and this bowl gives life to your body. Continue reading
I love traveling; experiencing new places, meeting new people, and eating new food. But it can be hard when you live a plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free lifestyle. This simple guide is here to help point you in the right direction when visiting the beautiful city of Vancouver, BC. And thank you to the Loden Hotel for a beautiful, boutique-hotel experience.

This dressing is too die for… seriously! It’s bright, refreshing, creamy and so, so flavorful. It could be used on a salad, on tacos, or as an aioli for wild fish, artichokes, crisp potatoes, or just about anything… Straight out of the jar works too…!
Believe it or not I have never had an authentic banh mi sandwich (insert sad face here). I’ve been gluten-free for nearly 3 years and I only just learned about banh mi sandwiches last year! So, given many folks don’t carry gluten-free bread I decided to make my own banh mi, and surprisingly it turned out really well. My husband eats banh mi sandwiches from time to time, so I was happy to get his approval on this. He’s no expert of course, but I think he would know a thing or two more than I when it comes to a crunchy, delicious banh mi.
Enough of the small talk, right?
This bowl is delicious! and you can easily make it your own by adding a different sauce or dressing. This is my go-to lunch; it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, 5 minutes to eat, and then I am out the door again. It’s quick, simple, healthy, and more importantly, satisfying. Just because lunches have to be “quick” sometimes, that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice your health for cheap conveniences. Prepare or prepare to fail (i.e. make your rice ahead of time!) This bowl is loaded with roughly 20 g. of protein and nearly 300 mg of calcium (almost as much as a glass of milk!) So when people say vegans & plantbased folks can’t get enough protein or calcium…I laugh in their face… (okay not literally, but in my mind I do!…sorry, not sorry)
