Creamy Coconut Blackberry N’Oatmeal (Grain/Gluten-Free, Vegan)

02/20/2017

It's a rainy winter morning here in San Francisco, so I crafted this Creamy Coconut Blackberry N'Oatmeal to bring a bit of early springtime color and sweetness to the day. I have been giving some thought to more meatless recipes here on Fresh Planet Flavor in the past few weeks... If you're looking for an alternative to eggs in the morning, try this Creamy Coconut Blackber[...]

Purple Sweet Potato Gardener’s Pie (Grain/Gluten-Free, Vegan)

02/15/2017

This Gardener's Pie recipe is my tribute to the would-otherwise-be-wasted ugly vegetables in my Imperfect Produce box last week. The food recovery startup Imperfect Produce first came on my radar when I saw its CEO and COO speak at a Food +Tech Connect meetup here in San Francisco. The two spoke about their company's multi-part mission to 1) reduce food waste while[...]

This isn't the first time that I've written about the carbon-farmed deliciousness at Stemple Creek Ranch.

Mustard-Roasted Potatoes & Apples | Fresh Planet Flavor

It's very simple. Easy weeknight vegetables are good for you. Easy weeknight vegetables made with Hungry Harvest produce are good for you, society, and the planet. Let me explain. Late last year, while visiting family in Maryland, I was curious to find East Coast startups involved in food and nutrition while having a positive sustainability impact. Hungry Harvest came[...]

2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies

These amazingly simple 2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies are a quick, healthy, versatile snack as is or a great starting point to play with add-ins. | Fresh Planet Flavor

These 2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies are low-key genius. Combine nuts and banana, bake. When I first developed my 2 Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies, I was amazed that something so simple as bananas and coconut could possibly combine to create anything that even remotely resembled a cookie. The same amazement applies to these 2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies (the basic version without add-in[...]

Lumberjack Omelet (and How to Decode Your Egg Carton) | Fresh Planet Flavor

THIS. This breakfast is... huge, and unrepentant. Enough to feed Paul Bunyan (and Babe, too) which is why the "Lumberjack Omelet" name seemed to fit.  You can't go wrong with an omelet filled with sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, mushrooms, and accompanied by avocado, smashed potatoes, and arugula. As I was whisking the eggs for this recipe, however, the importance of suppo[...]

30-Minute Thai Beef with Basil (with Carbon-Farmed Beef)

This quick and tasty 30-Minute Thai Beef with Basil is my first recipe introducing carbon farmed beef. What is carbon farming? The TL;DR version: it's a style of farming that removes carbon dioxide from the air through agriculture. How it works involves a quick science lesson: all agricultural production involves the process of plant photosynthesis, which uses sunshine to combine carb[...]

Vegan Parsley Pesto with Egg and Avocado (How to Fight Food Waste at Home)

08/30/2016
This Vegan Parsley Pesto with egg and avocado is a quick (and delicious) way to use up both leftover herbs and nuts at the same time.

Getting food from the farm to our fork eats up 10% of the total U.S. energy budget, uses 50% of U.S. land, and swallows 80% of all freshwater consumed in the United States. That's the statement by Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) scientist and "food waste warrior" Dana Gunders that begins Wasted: How America Is Losing Up to 40 Percent of Its Food from Farm to Fork t[...]

What do they have to do with a luscious Skin Food Smoothie, that combines an all-star lineup of blueberries, walnuts, spinach and kiwi? The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines an endocrine disruptor as "an exogenous substance or mixture that alters function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse health effects in an intact organism,[...]

I made this Date-Night Spicy Sausage Stuffed Ravioli solo, but I definitely think the effort is better split between two people...

Loaded Sausage Breakfast (Introducing Pasturebird)

Loaded Sausage Breakfast (Pasturebird Hen) | Fresh Planet Flavor

I first met Pasturebird on Instagram, where I ogled their photos of glossy chickens basking in the sunlight, ranch dogs frolicking in the pasture, and weathered cowboy hats propped on pick-up truck dashboards. Were these stock photos? I wondered. In this cynical age of constant misleading marketing claims made by food brands, this glimpse of a pastoral idyll seemed too good to be true. La[...]

Oysters Olé (and Notes on Native American Sustainability Practices)

Say no more: the bold flavors of oysters plus garlic, Mexican oregano, cilantro, queso fresco and more make this recipe for Oysters Olé more than the sum of its parts. | Fresh Planet Flavor

I went in a different direction, flavor-wise, with these oysters (in a big way). With summer in full swing, I wanted to combine the briny freshness of oysters with cherry tomatoes in the height of their season, plus fresh herbs with jalapeño and lime to achieve a real celebration for the palate. I absolutely cannot wait to make this colorful, flavorful plate for friends as a[...]

Banana Cream Pie N’Oatmeal (and a Brief History of Breakfast)

This Banana Cream Pie "N'Oatmeal " (that's NOT OATMEAL) is a fruit-sweetened, creamy coconut breakfast alternative to cereal.

Have you heard the phrase "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"? Where did you hear it? Do you believe it? Why? Perhaps because your mother told you, who was doubtless quoting the words of highly-qualified, impartial nutritionists who publicized their findings after rigorous research? Earlier this month The Atlantic posted an article titled Why Cereal Has Such Ag[...]

75 Healthy Kid-Friendly Snacks

Today I have a boatload of recipes for healthy kid-friendly snacks, which remind me: have you been following the drama between the FDA and Kind bars? The FDA is re-evaluating its definition of what counts as a "healthy" food, because healthy fats—such as the fats found in nuts and avocado—are increasingly recognized as part of a nutritious diet. The change was precipitated[...]

Pea Milk Review (Ripple) + Vegan Blackberry Banana Nice Cream

We need to talk about pea milk. Because a new non-dairy milk substitute made from yellow peas hit the grocery store shelves 15 days ago and while I didn't sit down this morning with the intention of writing a pea milk review before day's end, the product piqued my interest so much when it crossed my radar that I researched it and taste-tested it myself as soon as possible.
