Can we just talk about gratitude for a second? I am awash with it today. Last night, we held the launch party for the Vive Detox, a new collaborative venture between my business partner Paige and I. It. Was. Wonderful. …
Some foods that don’t come up often in a whole food, gluten-free, plant-based diet: seafood. breading. fried things. Luckily, recipes like this exist where we can recreate a similar deliciousness while being kind to the planet (and kind to our…
