The great thing about this recipe is that if you don’t have the time or energy to make the balls, you could still make a delicious Black Bean and Quinoa Salad in half the time (or less). Keep the Beans whole and, rather than mixing the Tomato Paste, Cacao/Cocoa, and ACV into the Balls, you can add them to the Cilantro Sauce as a dressing! With the balls, the Pepitas are on the outside, so they get toasted in the oven. If you’re making a salad rather than the balls, I would toast them for flavor and texture.

Maybe you knew that Cauliflower was versatile, but not THIS versatile! I developed this recipe originally for my Soul Food Soulstice dinner at my friends’ farm in Kennett Square, PA a few years ago …

Asparagus.

It's always been one of my favorite foods. I wait anxiously for Spring to push the Asparagus up each year …

I won't lie ... this is one of the more delicious dinners I've created! It's Radish Kohlrabi Fritters dressed with Fresh Tahini and Chopped Cilantro. They're paired with Cucumber Carrot Wraps. That might sound boring, but this is one of the least boring raw Carrot or Cucumber foods I've ever had. They're truly delicious.

This is a Papaya Milkshake because that is what I happened to have available. But an equally delicious Milkshake could be made with Peaches or Mango. Additionally, Lemons, Limes and Sour Oranges can be used interchangeably. They're all a bit different so the flavor will vary, but the sensibility will remain the same.

These Energy Explosions are a perfect pick-me-up for that mid-day slump. They're quick and easy ... (just how some people like it) 😳

If you mix Hemp Seeds, Maca and Cacao, it tastes like chocolate and peanut butter 😱. It's one of the better discoveries I've made recently and I can't stop eating/drinking this delicious smoothie packed with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.
