    Welcome to Beautiful Ingredient!

    Beautiful Ingredient was created as a place to celebrate delicious ways of getting more vegetables, fruits, and other plants on our plates.  After even a small change in my daily routine, I quickly noticed I had more energy and enjoyed eating more.  I thought the opposite would be true with this sort of change, so was very pleasantly surprised.  

    While the recipes here are technically vegan, I'm hoping that, whatever the lifestyle you choose, you will find some helpful information here.   Plants are where the nutrients are, and as humans we thrive on them.

    My Must-Haves for eating more plant-based whole foods:

    • delicious flavor
    • easy and minimal prep
    • enough fuel to get through busy days
    • pleasant textures
    • a contented sweet tooth
    • crunchy and salty satisfaction
    • staying within budget
    • freedom from the goal of perfection
