Talking About Death (Audio Interview) + Garlicky White Bean and Spinach Quesadillas
“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.” ~Dr. Seuss And so, we open our eyes, and we look at the things that are uncomfortable to confront. We look them over, we think about them, we ponder, we wonder, we talk. We ask questions. We listen. And pretty soon, the big scary…

As I got out of the shower earlier this week, I stood in front of the mirror, and I looked. I looked at myself and I thought, Molly, you look pretty tonight. Your skin looks good and your body is strong. I took a breath, and I felt deep joy from within that made its…

Dirty couple Kathy and David Wouters went from eating the Standard American Diet to fueling with nothing but whole plant foods, and their transformation has been amazing.

If anyone has an excuse to not batch cook plant based food every week, it’s Tammy Snowden. Tammy was in a car accident 25 years ago and as a result, she lost all movement and feeling of her legs. She has been in a wheelchair ever since. But that doesn’t stop this woman from getting…
Read MoreThe Difference Between Flavor and Taste and Why it Matters + Almond Taco Filling
Many years ago, I decided to follow an organic raw vegan diet. My decision to do this was prompted by the copious amounts of alcohol I was drinking and cigarettes I was smoking. I figured that if I was trashing my body with substances then I may as well go balls-to-the-wall healthy with my food…
