This black bean and yam stew is so good just by itself, seasoned with fresh red bell pepper, onion, cumin, oregano, garlic, sea salt, and fresh lime, but when it is paired with cilantro cabbage slaw, it is simply amazing! FRESH!

These blueberry muffins are so full of goodness. Magical fruits explode as they bake in this gluten free, dairy free batter featuring almonds and sorghum flour, tapioca, a touch of allspice, raw honey, rice milk, olive oil, applesauce, fresh ground flax seed, vanilla, and almond extract

what else can i say about this blackberry pie? it's organic, gluten free, vegan, and made without cane sugar. Oh, and it's full of superfoods. The crust is made of sprouted brown rice, garbanzo, and amaranth flours, milled apricot kernels, pumpkin seeds, extra virgin coconut oil, xanthan gum, and water. The filling is blackberries, dried coconut palm syrup, tapioca, apple cider vinegar, and chia seeds. including the blackberries, there are four different seeds filled with omega 3 fatty acids. You will have to trust me on the flavor...best pie ever. The sweetness is complex, deep, and rich, full of tasty minerals.

I have this recipe for dilled adzuki bean and rice salad, right? Well, this dish received a huge dose of inspiration from Landisdale Farm's organic produce. This is a fairly easy beans and rice dish brought to life by a dressing made with raw honey, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt. Sprouted raw sunflower seeds, green onions, and tiny diced carrots really add something. What I added different today was fresh cilantro and baby fennel. oh my! and then, halfway through "tasting," I added fresh ripe strawberries and some balsamic vinegar. I was not sorry about this at all. :)

The fragrance of this dish transports me to an exotic place. mushrooms seasoned with turmeric, fresh-ground cumin, garlic, coriander, and sea salt make for an amazing broth. Delicately steamed kale and soft green lentils make this such a satisfying meal.

Steamed garnet yams are amazing. They taste like they have been spiced and sweetened, but that's just how they are. Because of this lovely flavor, they really are the star of this vegan gluten free "sweet potato pie," or as I like to call it, breakfast!

Autumn Harvest Soup is the recipe from The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook that I started with to make this delicious stew, served here with quinoa millet and raw garlic. Steamed garnet yams, zucchini, carrots, and kale come together with pinto beans in a wonderful broth accented with puréed onions, red bell peppers, and fresh cilantro. It is finished perfectly with herbamare sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and fresh squeezed lime juice. It gets better with each passing day.

Thank you, Shiloh Farms, for having organic adzuki beans not from China. I have really missed these beans. Time to cook!
