Tomato Avocado Basil Dressing

Tomato Avocado Basil Dressing

By Patrick McGilvray

I make it a point to eat a lot of leafy greens every day, so it’s great when my salad dressing promotes good health as well. Avocados are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids and they contain 3 times the potassium found in bananas. Try this super easy and delicious oil-free salad dressing on your…

Superfood Energy Bars

Superfood Energy Bars

By Patrick McGilvray

After dealing with stomach issues during my last couple of marathons I decided that I had to make some changes in my nutrition regimen. I’ve done the Gatorade/gel/salt tab combo for years, and in addition to making me feel sick to my stomach, I’ve never felt properly fueled up during my long runs. So I…

Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh

By Patrick McGilvray

If I had to pick just one regional food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Mediterranean. I just love all of the naturally vegan options! Creamy hummus, fresh-baked pita, bitter olives, rich felafel, spicy lentils, and one of my favorites – tabbouleh. I love this light and refreshing tabbouleh all…

Cherry Almond Granola

Cherry Almond Granola

By Patrick McGilvray

We LOVE granola! Seriously, we eat it every day. I mix it into hot oatmeal, I use it to make amazing banana-granola pancakes, the kids like it as cold cereal with almond milk, we even eat it dry as a snack. The problem is that really good quality granola is expensive. So, we set out…

Mushroom & Kale Lasagne

Mushroom & Kale Lasagne

By Patrick McGilvray

I’ve been making this lasagne for years, but when I went to make it the other night I realized we were out of frozen chopped spinach. We did have a full bag of frozen chopped kale on hand, so I used that instead. This small change made this dish outstanding! The combination of the earthy…

French Toast

French Toast

By Patrick McGilvray

I spent over 15 years in the food service industry and devoted most of that time to working at a breakfast and brunch restaurant. So when it comes to breakfast food, I consider myself an expert. I’ve probably cooked 100,000 eggs to order (which sounds awful to me now…), flipped 50,000 pancakes, folded 20,000 omelets,…

Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Chocolate Coconut Cookies

By Patrick McGilvray

By now it’s no secret that I love baked goods. Breads, muffins, cakes, brownies, scones, and cookies all get plenty of love and attention from me. What I especially love about these cookies is that it’s one of those quick and easy recipes that I can start making and I’m eating cookies 20 minutes later….

Primo Pesto

Primo Pesto

By Patrick McGilvray

I cannot say for certain that this is the best pesto in the world, but what I can safely say without a doubt is that this is the best pesto I have ever had. We grow a lot of basil in the summer months and there is just something amazing about the flavor combination of…

Dark Chocolate Truffle Tart

Dark Chocolate Truffle Tart – Vegan & Gluten-Free

By Patrick McGilvray

I made this decadent chocolate dessert for my beautiful wife Kristine on Valentine’s Day and I can safely say it was well received. Rich chocolate desserts are one of our favorite pastimes, and this non-dairy version of a culinary classic definitely satisfies our chocolate-loving souls. I adapted this version from a VegNews recipe and they…

Spicy Black Bean Burger

Spicy Black Bean Burgers

By Patrick McGilvray

I love a good veggie burger, but my restaurant veggie burger experiences have almost always let me down. The alternative is the store-bought and frozen variety, and again I’ve yet to get super excited about these options. So I put one together that is hearty, delicious, a little spicy, and extremely healthy! (Check out the…

Vegan Ice Cream

When I decided to make the switch from vegetarian to vegan I had some concerns. Will I get enough protein? What will I eat at restaurants? Pizza without cheese? But by far my most pressing concern was “What about ice cream?” I have been a huge fan of the creamy sweet treat ever since I…

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Hummus is one of those basic foods that we often take for granted. It is tasty and versatile, often showing up in unexpected places. For variety, spread it on a sandwich with ripe tomato and sprouts, roll it in a tortilla with grilled peppers and spring mix, and of course it makes an awesome dip…

Gomasio

Gomasio

Gomasio is a flavorful condiment made from toasted sesame seeds and coarse salt. It is as simple to make as it sounds – toast sesame seed and salt together in a heavy skillet (I always use my hefty cast-iron) and grind it up. The ratio of sesame seeds to salt can vary from 5 to…

White Bean & Corn Chili

White Bean & Corn Chili

Beans are an incredibly rich source of protein, iron, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber; they are a staple in a plant-based diet. Swiss chard is one of the earth’s healthiest foods, high in vitamins A, K, and C, and rich in minerals, iron, dietary fiber, and protein. The addition of Swiss chard to this chili makes…
