Golden Turmeric Milk

June 30, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

golden turmeric milk

It’s no secret that I love turmeric. I use it in my Cheesy Veggie Tofu Scramble, Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream, my go-to Cheese Sauce, Fully Loaded Vegan Mac n’ Cheez, and even a Turmeric Face & Tooth Mask. It’s such a powerful antioxidant that consuming turmeric on a daily basis can aide the recovery of brain function and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, lower blood sugar, curb depression, prevent heart disease, and prevent & treat cancer. No wonder it’s known as “Holy Powder” 🙏

Enter Golden Turmeric Milk. This creamy yellow liquid is a great way to incorporate turmeric into your day, especially if you like warm, cozy drinks ☕️🍵

I actually posted a slightly embarrassing recipe for Turmeric Milk over two years ago. It was one of my first recipes, when I was still sometimes using my phone to take photos for the blog! Check out my fancier, updated version of this drink and give it a try when you want something that is both healing and filling.

Tangy Summer Kale Salad

August 14, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

tangy summer kale salad

kale salad

This oh so good summery salad is awesome for many reasons. Here’s a quick rundown: It’s easy to make, light but filling at the same time, full of tangy goodness, all plant based, AND the star of the show is a leafy green packed with antioxidants and fiber. Kale yeah!

I live so close to the beach and after trying to make it there all summer, I finally did last week 🏖☀️🕶 The weather was perfect and since school is gearing back up, we basically had the beach to ourselves. Despite my best efforts at sunscreen, I still ended up getting burned really badly. Like, the front of me was so sunburned I had to sleep on my back for two days because it hurt so much 😭 Since then, I’ve been coating myself in coconut oil and aloe vera like there’s no tomorrow. I figure what goes into my body is just as important in my healing process, too. That’s where my Summery Kale Salad comes in. It’s full of fiber and antioxidants and good fats and detoxifying ingredients 👍

Even though this recipe is enough for 2-3 people, nobody will judge you for eating it all in one sitting. That’s the great thing about salads! 😝

The 5 Best All-Natural Oils For Your Face

March 9, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

5 best all natural oils for your face

I don’t know about you, but I get really excited talking about oils 🙌 🌟

In a day and age when companies market their over processed, chemical-ridden skincare products as “all natural,” “moisturizing,” “anti-aging,” and so on, it’s nice to know I can depend on plants to save the day 🌿 As a vegan, I depend on plants for food and they provide all the nourishment I need. But they’re also the safest and most effective choice when it comes to skincare as well. For thousands of years, people used plants as medicine – and it worked. But today, consumers want eye catching packaging, famous spokespeople, and great marketing. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Do your research and you’ll realize that none of those products are actually good for your skin, in fact, some of them are terrible for your skin and your whole body.

If you go to my Health & Beauty page, you can read my Be Beautiful Inside and Out series that discusses what ingredients to stay away from and why, as well as the importance of picking humane beauty products that are not animal tested, and how chemicals infiltrate every part of our lives.

Kind of overwhelming to realize how much junk is in the products you may have been purchasing and using for years. I’m guilty of it myself. I now use all natural oils on my face each morning and night as my moisturizer and my face feels like a baby 👶

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

chocolate chia seed pudding

This may be the most beautiful recipe I’ve shot yet! And it’s not because of my mad photography skills – all the credit goes to the food and it’s natural beauty💄💅 Not to mention, this chia seed pudding allows me to consume chocolate in breakfast form. Now I just gotta work on lunch and dinner.

I’ve made this recipe a handful of times since photographing it and I love it because it’s so simple to make. Simple is good since I’m one of those people that wakes up and refuses to talk or make contact with anyone until I’ve had coffee and breakfast + a substantial amount of time to process the fact that it’s morning and I’m awake. So basically, I’m delightful. 👿

Earl Grey Truffle Bark

April 26, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

earl grey truffle bark

This week’s recipe is a little bit country, a little bit British. That’s right, you heard me. I just got back to Texas after 6 months in China and I’m staying with my friend who has a beautiful piece of land in the hill country outside of Austin. She’s from England, but is a Texas girl at heart! While looking through one of her cookbooks entitled The Vintage Tea Party Book, I saw a delicious looking recipe for Engraved Earl Grey Truffle Hearts, and I knew I needed to veganize it!

This recipe is so simple it’s silly! With it’s super rich texture, chocolatey goodness, and hint of bergamot, this truffle bark is the perfect homemade gift or a healthy alternative for your next chocolate craving.

HEY THERE! I’M JILLIAN.

I live near Houston, Texas with my rescue dog Stella! I create cruelty-free recipes that are delicious, to demonstrate that it's easy to follow a plant-based lifestyle. Not only are the health and beauty benefits noticeable, but it creates a more sustainable planet and keeps our animal friends safe & happy. In our spare time, Stella and I also love watching movies, reading, snuggling, and taking long walks! LEARN MORE…

He can be very shy, but now people can read more about him and see what a sweet boy he is. I also recently got another buddy, a pony named Fergus, who lived with Hobbs in his previous home! 💗

This is me comforting Captain, a donkey at the res This is me comforting Captain, a donkey at the rescue ranch I volunteer at, on July 4th. I noticed him laying down, which I've never seen him do before. When I went in his pen, he let me sit down and hug him, which is not normally how he is. He's not super affectionate. I felt like something was wrong. Another volunteer who has more experience came over and gave Captain some high fructose corn syrup, left some carrots, and a bucket of water mixed with applesauce. He said Captain was probably dehydrated. Apparently he was all better the next day. Donkeys can go downhill very quickly and not a lot of vets are experts on them. I'm glad it was nothing super serious and that Captain is back to his rambunctious self! ♥️

Vegan chicken wings by Like Meat 🍗 Even when I Vegan chicken wings by Like Meat 🍗 Even when I was a meat eater, I never quite understood the concept of chicken wings. They're really messy, you have to eat around bones, and there's barely any meat on them 🤔 I can't say these vegan chicken wings remind me a lot of the real thing, but they taste good, they're healthier, and cruelty free. Not to mention, they're great with rice, homemade beans, and ranch made with vegan sour cream 😋
