Healthy Cravings: 60+ Plant-Based Comfort Recipes From Our Kitchen To Yours Hardcover – November 21, 2025

I wrote this book when I was pregnant with our son, and let me tell you… the cravings were no joke. I wanted all the “fun” foods I don’t normally eat. Pizza, cupcakes, takeout, big bowls of oily noodles, all of it. But every time I gave in and ordered something, I’d feel kind of blah after. Plus, the huge hit to my wallet didn’t help.Being the health-conscious person that I am, I told myself, “Okay, if I want this stuff, I’ll just make it myself.” So that’s what I did. I started recreating all my favorite indulgent dishes in a way that actually made me feel good, and you know what? It wasn’t hard at all. Suddenly, I was eating homemade donuts, creamy pasta, gooey cinnamon rolls, and even burgers with “special sauce”… all made from whole, plant-based ingredients that are just as satisfying and still good for you. That’s a massive win in my book.Healthy Cravings is filled with those kinds of recipes, the ones that feel a little more decadent, the ones you bring to a dinner party or make for a cozy Friday night in. These are the dishes that make people say, “Wait, this is healthy?! This is vegan? No way!”If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’ve always been about low-calorie density meals because that’s how I lost 70 pounds and have kept it off for over a decade. But here’s the thing: sometimes you just want a cupcake, and that’s okay. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s balance. It’s eating food that makes you feel happy and healthy, without guilt or restriction.I truly believe that when you make your favorite foods with love and real ingredients, they taste even better. These recipes are here to remind you that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean boring salads and green juice. It can mean cinnamon rolls on a Sunday morning, cozy soup on a rainy night, or chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven.So grab your apron, preheat the oven, and get ready to fall in love with cooking all over again. Because sometimes, the best way to honor your cravings is to make them healthy. Read more
