I love ❤️️ banh mi sandwiches! The delicious pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, pork, and baguette is such a simple, yet crave-worthy combination. However, I prefer to eat almost completely plant-based and tofu can get a little old. With inspiration from a Thai inspired edamame burger recipe from Eating Well a few months ago, I created these fun-sized […]
My kids absolutely love those store-bought packets of ramen noodles, but they are for the most part forbidden in my house due to their questionable ingredients. I was curious if I could make some healthy ramen that the kids would gladly eat! I made other recipes a couple of times and modified them to be […]

Have you got a bunch of vegetables in your fridge that you want to use up to make a healthy meal? You don’t always have to use specific types of vegetables in every stir fry. What moreover gives a stir fry that Asian taste is what is in the sauce. Sometimes I use bok choy, […]
This is a healthy, whole food Cajun chicken salad recipe you can make on the grill! It is mostly composed of plant-based ingredients (except for the chicken) but you can omit the meat or substitute with a plant protein! If you try a vegan version of this recipe, please share it and tag @cleancookingcaitlin on […]
These are a clean, whole food energy bar which should be eaten around or during (if your stomach can handle it) your long or intense endurance workouts. The dried tart cherries are great for their anti-inflammatory properties! I was inspired to make these because as a Florida resident, hurricane Dorian is in route to hit […]
