Vegan Caprese Salad

Vegan Caprese Salad

Created by Ashleigh on June 24, 2018

I have been missing Caprese Salads ever since going vegan. I used to eat them all the time as a young girl but I figured I could never replicate the original close enough to make it worth it. Vegan cheeses usually don’t do much for me, but that is not the case with this Vegan...

I'm a recipe creator, mama and writer living by the sea. I learned how to nourish myself with plants and in the process healed from chronic illness. My whole life has been a journey deeper into healing and freedom and I love being able to share that journey with you! This space is an invitation to my table where you will find way too much food, some real talk, and a whole lotta love. All the recipes I create are made with fruits and vegetables. That's it! I hope you'll pull up a chair and stay awhile. At this table, all are loved!

  • I haven’t been here as much recently. Those of you who watch my stories probably saw that I was dealing with some depression and grief and I still am to some extent. I’m learning that grieving isn’t just something that happens and then stops, like a flu. It lingers. It sometimes jumps out of nowhere. It can drag other things into the muck with it. A woman at my church prayed for me the other day and she prayed “May her grief be pure.” And I thought, that’s exactly right. I’m learning about grieving without letting it get caught up in other trauma, shame, old addictive patterns, or anything else. A pure grief. But grieving that way is incredibly raw and painful and private. I haven’t felt like sharing that much. But I think of you guys daily. I hope you’re taking care of yourselves and one another. I think there are growth cycles in life— seasons to listen, seasons to learn, seasons to share. To me, that is healthy and right. If the people you’re listening to and following on Instagram are constantly sharing and have an unflagging flow of content, it might be worth reflecting on how much listening they are actually doing. All that to say, I’m here. I’m listening and learning and sending love to you all. And for those who have reached out in concern, thank you but I am deeply deeply good. It probably sounds strange unless you’ve experienced it but I’m better in my brokenness than i was in all my pretend strength. Life is so sweet. God is so good. I am so grateful.
  • This breakfast from Nourish has been a big hit. In the book there’s a recipe for raspberry jam made with only fresh fruit. Anyone tried this one? I’m thinking I’ll diverge from my normal smoothie for a bowl like this tomorrow.
  • Check out my stories for my thoughts on dealing with depression. Sharing my recent experience coping with a depression relapse. Sending love to all of you.
  • This was school today. 😍 I’ve learned and grown so much the past month. Homeschooling has been incredibly hard and also the most wonderful ever at the exact same time. The deeper I settle into the quiet and wonder of this season, the more it takes my breath away. The sacrifice of my time and energy and ambitions is nothing compared to these priceless moments with my babes. But on some days it’s pretty hard to remind my stubborn, restless heart of that truth. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” - Jim Elliot
  • Anyone tried the broccoli pesto from Nourish yet? It it’s making my heart explode with happiness to hear from those of you who are trying out the plan and finding that it adds peace and joy to your life. It’s not really cool in plant-based circles to talk about having a plan. I think the popular dialogue is “You should be able to eat freely of all whole plant foods and be fine.” And maybe we should? 🤷🏻‍♀️ But there’s a large gap between should and the lived experience of so many of us. And if you’re someone who feels a little chaotic, confused, or overwhelmed around food maybe try giving the plan in Nourish a chance. It’s not meant to add more rules to your life. It’s meant to give you safe ground to stand on and a feeling of freedom. If that’s happening for you already, would you comment below and let others know? Xoxo
  • One of the best recipes ever I think. Anyone tried it? Deep dish raw apple pie from Holiday Pies by @medicalmedium. This is a favorite around here.
  • Playing with a recipe for potato falafel today. It didn’t turn out that great. #failaffle I’ve been a little inactive with posting lately. I got pretty burnt out pushing to get the book done and needed some time to hunker down with my family and some much needed self-care. How are you guys doing? Anyone trying out the Nourish meal plan? I want to hear from you! How’s it going? 😘

  • Soooo excited to share this post for Before and After week from my girl @absofruitlymel 😍 I’ll let her tell you about her experience using my weight loss plan in her own words... “Well the photos speak for themselves. On the left I was eating a raw vegan diet and had just finished running a marathon... yet I felt terrible in my body, out of control with food and extremely uncomfortable. I was so frustrated with thinking I was doing everything right. There was something missing... a calmness around food, peace in my mind, safety in my body. The Nourish plan helped me find just that. I had a plan to follow. My own food I could eat with ease!! No more under eating throughout the day and binging at night. I was able to eat without the guilt and the endless mind chatter trying to calculate  how many calories I had eaten throughout the day. I WAS EATING AND LOSING WEIGT. I WAS EATING AND CALMING MY MIND. AND eating all of my favorite whole plant foods. I lost 15 pounds that I hadn’t been able to shake! Feeling more comfortable and home in my body is huge however the biggest benefit from following the Nourish plan is that I feel calm around food. It’s a something I never knew was obtainable. Thank you thank you thank YOU Ash. 🙏🏼♥️” Ahhhh! Love this lady! It’s been so fun sharing my meal plan with friends this past few years. And now. TOMORROW MORNING.
