Summer Corn Chowder

It may seem a little silly to make a chowder in the Summer months – but I say not! Corn is in season and there’s nothing quite like a creamy bowl of corn chowder.

This chowder is – sweet and savory, silky and smooth.

Let’s get started. 

Cream of Mushroom Soup with Balsamic Glaze & Crispy Potato Croutons

First and foremost, happy September!.. .Autumn weather has arrived here in Seattle and I am definitely craving soup this year! And yes my friends, it is gluten-free and vegan… [and!] it’s entirely fat-free. I promise you, the best thing you can do for your kitchen is invest in a Vitamix. If you are eating more plant-based meals, or happen to already be a vegan – the Vitamix will most certainly change your world. Yes, your world! Not only will your smoothies and juice creations become an entirely new experience, but the Vitamix can puree just about anything until it is silky smooth (as if there was something fattening in there to make it creamy!) It will not disappoint, and more importantly this soup does not disappoint. It’s perfect for chilly Autumn evenings or as a base to a mushroom stroganoff!

Cold, Spicy Thai “Noodle” Salad

Simply sweet, spicy, and crunchy; ahh perfection. On warm Summer days I enjoy making meals that require little prep time and virtually no cooking time. This is that meal. It’s mostly raw, vegan, gluten-free & obviously very plant-based…making it an easy meal to get an abundance of nutrients, without increasing your waistline. It’s a win-win.

– The Sunshine Bowl –

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.
