Plant-Powered Families is here! I’ve mentioned this new cookbook a few times, and today I can officially announce that it releases on May 12th! In this cookbook, I share over 100 recipes, plus insights and tips from my 14 years of raising 3 “weegans”.
This is my fifth cookbook, but my first cookbook with full-color design and photographs for every recipe (taken by my friend and colleague, Nicole Axworthy). Cover photo credit: Lindsay Faber.
All the recipes are vegan, whole foods plant-based, and many with allergy-friendly options to make them nut-free or gluten-free. This is collection of both new recipes along with selected “tried and true” dishes. I have revised some old favourites, making them easier, more nutritious, and also with some allergy-friendly alternatives. Of course, there are many new food creations, including:
- Sunday Morning Pancakes
- Cinnamon French Toast
- Blueberry Lassy Muffins
- No-Bake Granola Bars
- Green Superhero Dressing
- Cheesy Caesar Dressing
- Potato-Meets-Egg-Salad
- ‘Baconut’
- Red Lentil Hummus
- Vegan Feta
- Motsa’ Dip
- Ultimate Cashew Cheese
- Cream of Cauliflower Soup
- Smoky Bean Chili
- Smashing Squash Soup
- Thick ‘n Hearty Tomato Sauce
- Polenta Pizza Crust
- Artichoke Sunflower Burgers
- Ta-Quinos!
- Autumn Dinner Loaf with Homestyle Gravy
- Saucy BBQ Chickpeas and Green Beans
- Creamy Fettucine
- “ShipShape” Joe’s
- Balsamic-Glazed Sweet Potato Fries
- Peanut Butter Pudding with Berrylicious Swirl
- Fudgesicles
- Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Crazy Brownies
- Apple Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
- Protein Power Balls
- Apple Nachos Supreme… and more!

Beyond the recipes, this is where you will find my vegan mama insights and food tips… answering the questions I hear from readers so often, including:
- What do you pack in your kids’ school lunches? How do you make them nut-free?
- What do you serve at birthday parties? Do you send your children to non-vegan parties and social events?
- How do you handle weekly food preparation? What do you batch-cook/freeze?
- … and the ever-popular: HELP! I have a picky eater!
I answer all these questions — and more — sharing what I’ve learned and as a mom of three for the past 14 years. I’ve also included a nutritional FAQ section, with help from my friend and colleague Heather Nicholds.

So, I’m all about this peanut butter pudding! May even make it tonight…really excited about this book. I decided to challenge myself and go vegan for Lent…and I feel so good that I’ve decided to keep it up! Looking forward to have an even bigger variety of recipes to pull from (especially since the boyfriend is not going vegan with me; trying new things helps him be okay with this change)!

This would be an amazing giveaway to receive. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes again with my second pregnancy (currently 35 weeks). The first time around, I followed the guidelines which meant a lot more animal products and processed foods. While I was able to control my blood sugars with diet, my overall health declined and took months to regain. This time I decided to try a different approach and I am happy to say my overall health is improving and I am controlling my blood sugars with a plant-based diet. I am inspiring my family to adopt more of a plant-based diet too. What a great opportunity to expand my repertoire! Thanks!

Super excited for your new book!! I have all of your cookbooks and cook almost exclusively from them. My family always loves everything so I never have to worry about failures. Thank you for all you do, you’ve made my life easier and my family pretty happy 🙂
