A Couple Cooks


Sonja and Alex are a couple based in Indianapolis who share simple and nourishing recipes. Several years back, they decided to cut out processed and fast food from their diet and have since developed hundreds of whole-food recipes that they share over at A Couple Cooks. Try their Braised Vegetables or their Favorite Vegan Lasagna recipe the next time you have people over.

Freezer cookie dough is good but chocolate-drizzled freezer edibles juuust might be better. 😛

Although Oh, Ladycakes is a baking blog, the recipes are as healthy as baked goods come, with the main ingredients being natural sugars and alternative flours. We’d recommend starting with Ashlae’s Whole Grain Caramel Apple Hand Pies or the Peanut Butter Cookies.

Sprouted Kitchen


The authors behind Sprouted Kitchen create accessible and delicious vegetarian cuisine. Their focus is often on healthy recipes that are ideal for entertaining, like their Flourless Peppermint Stick Cake or Berry-Ginger Cocktail.

Green Kitchen Stories


Green Kitchen Stories is a couple and daughter who share their healthy twist on vegetarian recipes. They have several cookbooks, like “Green Kitchen Travels” (with recipes inspired by food from around the world), but you can also check out their recipes, like their Green Pancakes prepared three ways or this Spiced Parsnip Cake, for free on their blog.

Naturally Ella


Erin from Naturally Ella turned to healthy eating after watching her father go through numerous medical issues due to his traditional American meat-and-potato diet. Start by checking out her Barley Chocolate Chip Cookies or spicy Sweet Potato Galette.

Vegetarian ‘Ventures

Pistachio-Crusted Tofu with Red Chimichurri

Shelly Westerhausen

Though I may be biased since it is my own blog, Vegetarian ‘Ventures is all about serving up delicious vegetarian recipes that focus on local and in-season ingredients, and is worth checking out; particularly if you like the sound of Savory Cheddar & Cornmeal Waffles or Salted Maple Dark Chocolate Raspberry Crumble. [Ed. Note: Check out Shelly’s Pistachio-Crusted Tofu with Red Chimichurri, Sweet Cinnamon Fruit Dip, and Skillet Bagel Eggs with Lemon-Rosemary Butter too!]

Cookie + Kate


Cookie + Kate is a vegetarian blog about a girl and her dog creating healthy habits in the kitchen. In addition to recipes (like the above Halloumi Tacos with Pineapple Salsa & Aji Verde), Kate also shares regular “What to Cook This Month” guides so you can stay on top of eating seasonally.

Oh My Veggies


Oh My Veggies is a wonderful resource not only for recipes, but also for learning more about vegetarian topics like the differences in tofu types and how to make rice out of cauliflower.

Love & Lemons


The Austin-based couple behind Love & Lemons are experts at turning traditional recipes into healthy, vegan versions that are just as fantastic. We’d recommend you start with the Vegan Mac & Cheese or the Chocolate PB&J Cups.

The Chubby Vegetarian


Husband and wife team Justin Fox Burks and Amy Lawrence offer a Memphis spin on meatless cooking with their popular The Chubby Vegetarian blog. While southern specialties such as Red Velvet Cornbread are their bread and butter they also cover the globe with recipes such as Young Coconut Ceviche.
