Where do I get my recipes?

I get many questions regarding all my vegan food posts.  My favorite has been... Do you really cook all that food?  But most people want to know where I get my recipes from.

Since becoming a whole food plant based family I have been cooking for my family fresh, non processed meals.  Almost everything I make come out of a cookbook.  I have 6 cookbooks that I utilize when planning meals for my family (which is another post in of itself).

If you follow me on instagram @plantbasedhousewife you will notice that the first three hashtags are always the same... #plantbasedhousewife #plantbased #plantstrong.  The 4th one will always be the cookbook that I got it from.  Below you will find the list of my favorite cookbooks:

Isa Does It

Happy Herbivore Cookbook

Everyday Happy Herbivore

Happy Herbivore Abroad

Happy Herbivore Light and Lean

Forks Over Knives

I will keep a list of the recipes that I cook out of each book, along with my review and the review of my omnivore husbands.  Cooking in an omnivore household is very challenging and rewarding when they like it!

Spice Cake Surprise

There are few things that I love more than cake... my children, my husband and Jesus.  But cake comes right after that.  Lately I have been making more and more of them.  But when they come out of the Happy Herbivore cookbooks you know that you are getting a low-fat homemade dish that is always delicious.

I also love that my pantry is generally well stocked since we made the leap to a WFPB (whole food plant based) lifestyle.  I wanted something sweet and came across this recipe in Happy Herbivore Light and Lean.  This cake was a cinch to put together and even more enjoyable to eat.  My kids loved it, my husband loved it and I did too!

I can't wait to bake this for my bible study and family dinners!
