whole food plant-based recipes

At Beautiful Ingredient, we're all about realistic ways to enjoy flavorful, nutritious, beautiful ingredients.

Beautiful food can actually be on the table daily, even with little time, energy, or budget. The vegan recipes here are easy and focus on whole foods. Most take less than 30 minutes of prep and are fiber-filled.

Being realistic in the kitchen can mean working with an easy Beautiful Ingredient recipe or stocking a fridge with nutritious ingredients that can be tossed together for a simply beautiful meal. Beautiful Ingredient can help with both.

Here, we're not judging any diets. We're just prioritizing whole plant-based foods, working them into everyday life without needing to be "perfect." By focusing on eating more plants, we can more naturally reduce our intake of processed foods and benefit our lives while benefiting the planet. All these benefits, just from being more intentional about what we eat!

I believe food is about enjoyment and well-being, and that it's possible to get food on the table without adding a lot of stress. Now, let's eat!

hi there!

I'm Kari - welcome to my kitchen! Here, we're adding beauty to life through food. To me, a beautiful ingredient is plant-based, grown with care, and eaten in or close to its natural form. It's beneficial to people while taking it easy on the planet. I like to keep my recipes and food ideas fuss-free so that you can enjoy a plant-rich lifestyle, even on a busy weeknight. I'm off to the farmers market - happy eating!
