    whole food plant-based recipes

    At Beautiful Ingredient, I want to help you eat more plants by offering realistic ways to enjoy flavorful, nutritious, beautiful ingredients.

    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 doing so, we can benefit our lives while benefiting the planet.

    Let's reduce stress around our daily food. I believe food is about enjoyment and well-being. The simple recipes here can help you get plants on your plate, even if you're not a fan of cooking.

    Recipes here are easy and gluten-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free, whole food plant-based, vegan, and flavorful, with most quick enough to make on a busy weeknight.

    hi there!

    I'm Kari - welcome to my kitchen! Here, the focus is on adding beauty to life through food. To me, a beautiful ingredient is plant-based, in its natural form, and grown with care. 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!
