6 Summer Slaws to Try! + My New Easy Vegan Summer Slaw.

This new vegan cole slaw recipe is one of my favorites for spring and summer. I call it my Easy Peasy Creamy Perky Summer Slaw because it is all those things. Super easy to make, lightly creamy, perky and flavorful and ready to serve a crowd as a summer BBQ side dish or pile it on top of a veggie burger as a sandwich topping. Or do like I do and store it in small grab-n-eat containers for easy snacking at any hour of the day. You can even add a few sticky maple tempeh triangles on top and make it a meal. Or you can always pair it with the perfect veggie burger for a perfect summertime meal. Rainbow Sangria or lemonade frosty on the side.

Grab this recipe and make it all summer long!..

NYC Trip! The Seed, Choosing Raw, Pure Food & Wine, Rainy Days...

My whirlwind trip to NYC is just about to come to a close. (I'm typing this from my hotel room, and my plane leaves in about ... 8 hours.) Three nights alone in a hotel room could seem a bit daunting, but not when you are in NYC surrounded by amazing people, food, events and this city I love so much.

This morning I was thrilled to speak at The Seed event in SoHo with my BFF Gena of Choosing Raw. We had so much fun and thank you to everyone who came out to see us on this VERY rainy Sunday. Ahead I have plenty of photos to share with you from my trip!..
