Take advantage of the beautiful weather and celebrate the summer season with with your friends and family with a party! Healthy menu planning for celebrations like these can be stressful and sometimes force you to turn to those not-so-healthy quick and easy prepared foods at the grocery stores/restaurants. To prevent that, I have compiled for you a list of ideas and information that I hope will inspire you to make healthier choices for your next gathering.

I am asked what the heck I could possibly grill as a vegan, and the answer to that is not simple, as there are so many options  ;)

jackfruithowtographicJackfruit is definitely an intimidating fruit! It's appearance is jurassic, as I have heard it described, and it is the largest born tree fruit in the world. Did you know that they are capable of reaching 100 pounds? Oh what I would do for 100 pounds of jackfruit :) But have no fear, Sweet Simple Vegan is here to help you cut through your very first jackfruit at home!Jackfruit17

Juice Pulp Granola60I love making fresh juice, but the question that always comes up is what the heck do I do with the juice pulp? I have cooked the (vegetable) pulp into soups, added it into cookies and crackers, and (when lazy) simply composted the pulp,  but I wanted to try and create something new! As I had posted a few weeks ago, my cousin and I went on a juicing spree for her and her family during the week, and I ended up saving all of the pulp from the three juices we made. My Favorite Sweet Berry Juice had pulp that contained 100% fruit, so I decided to play around with that and create something sweet, hence this recipe.Juice Pulp Granola84
