Healthy Chicken Avocado Taco Salad
Why did Olive Sunshine create a Healthy Chicken Avocado Taco Salad recipe? There are always those people who go to a Mexican Restaurant and order a taco salad. I am not one of those people – but they exist. I mean, if you are going to go to a Mexican restaurant, get a deluxe burrito […]
Shrimp, Mushroom and Spinach Quesadilla
Shrimp, Mushroom and Spinach Quesadilla is savory, creamy, warmness, folded up in a crispy tortilla. Hard to believe this is a healthy treat. I make two types, mine is with cashew cheese. I love cashew cheese on my Mexicali food. The homemade ooey-goodness has a slight sweet flavor that is not present in most cheeses. […]

If you have a food processor, than this healthy 5-Minute Vegan Basil-Lemon Pesto is the easiest most versatile sauce you will ever make.

Ooey-Gooey Vegan Sheet-Pan Nachos
I have a weakness for nachos, especially when those nachos are Ooey-Gooey Vegan Sheet-Pan Nachos. In my early 30s, nachos were the meal of choice that I shared with my bestie, Katherine. Eating a pile high of chicken nachos from the Island Tiki Bar in Marathon, Florida was a common occurrence on a Saturday night. […]
Guilt-Free Red Sangria
Guilt-Free Red Sangria is the best drink to have on Cinco de Mayo! A fan of May 5th, my first-ever Olive Sunshine e-magazine, Mexicali, should be finished this weekend. The release is just in time for Cinco de Mayo! I am reflecting on why I chose this theme for my first magazine. Cinco de Mayo […]
Mediterranean Diet Chocolate Cake
Yes, you can say chocolate cake and Mediterranean Diet in the same title. Even better, this Mediterranean Diet Chocolate Cake is made with sourdough starter and is vegan.

Mediterraneanized Deluxe Vegan Burrito

I had the ultimate burrito at Maiz Mexican Cantina a restaurant in Depot Town, an area in my hometown Ypsilanti, Michigan. The Ultimate Veggie Burrito is delicious and is too […]
