I love a good yellow curry. If you have a bunch of zucchini and potatoes to use up, this is one great way of doing it. The curry flavor absorbs into the potatoes and zucchini which results in a very flavorful soup. I have used both sweet potatoes and regular yellow potatoes for this recipe, […]

Fall and Winter Round Up: Jams, soup, and potato recipes (ICYMI)
Because there was a glitch with our mailing list, it seems as though the messages have not been sent out for a long time. I had a hunch, but have been so focused on starting our plant-based farm this year it ended up on the back-burner a bit. So if you are on the mailing […]
Spicy Thai Peanut Noodle Soup (Low Fat, No Oil, Vegan)
Most Thai Peanut Noodle soup recipes contain coconut milk and peanut butter. Because I follow a low-fat (and oil free) way of eating, I did not want to use coconut milk. Not only does a high-fat soup cause my gastrointestinal upset after adopting a low-fat diet, that saturated fat adds up quickly even in a […]
Hearty potato and vegetable noodle soup (Low Fat, Oil Free, Vegan)
This soup recipe emerged from the typical scenario: what did I have in the pantry and fridge to make something with. I added flavors until it was bold enough. I added “stuff” until it was hearty enough. Yes, a bowl of this soup is definitely a meal, no question. And it has enough flavor to […]

A quick lunch is often required if you’re working, whether it’s at home or in the office. This lunch of a simple vegetable udon soup fits the bill: it was prepared out of what happened to be in the fridge at the time: random vegetables (asian greens, mushrooms, and onions), vegetable broth that is always […]
Creamy Kale, Potato and Leek Soup (Vegan, Low Fat)
While I’m not a huge fan of many kinds of soup, I love noodle soups and stews. And this one, too. This creamy soup is tasty and filling as a meal, all on its own. I love the textures and the flavor of this soup, and it continues to taste great as leftovers too. It’s […]

This plant-based vegan spicy noodle soup is an incredibly simple and quick lunch. And it has enough flavor so despite its simple nature, it’s […]
More options for vegan broth paste on the horizon: Bovril going beet
We love making vegetable and mushroom broth from scratch. However, there isn’t enough scraps or freezer/fridge space to make and store all the broth considering the quantity we use during a typical month. Therefore, we often use broth concentrates to make our vegetable, vegan “chick’n”, vegan “beef”, and mushroom broths for various recipes. New products […]
Healthy oil free vegan dinner roll recipe (aka bun or bread roll recipe)
The dinner roll, also called a bun or bread roll (or a whole bunch of possible names in the UK), is often an essential at holiday meals or family gatherings. A small somewhat crusty roll that you can eat with a spread, or to mop up meal remnants on your plate. Whatever you call it, […]
Subway releasing vegan meatball sandwich in remaining restaurant locations
Subway ran a trial for a new sandwich that includes vegan meatballs earlier this year in August at select restaurants in Canada, USA, and in other international locations. This temporary trial addition to their menu included meatballs and marinara sauce in their sandwich, with cheese included (if you are not ordering it vegan). It sounds […]
Spicy Vegan Drunken Noodles Recipe (Pad Kee Mao – Oil Free, Low Fat)
I have been working on perfecting an oil free vegan version of drunken noodles (called Pad Kee Mao) to put into our regular meal “rotation”.

This vegan ramen recipe is easy to make, and is incredibly easy to adjust to what you have on hand. I’ll usually make […]
Umami Seasoning blend recipe (Vegan, SOS free option)
This is a copycat recipe for Trader Joe’s seasoning blend, and other umami spice blends available at many grocery stores. I couldn’t find a similar blend locally (we don’t have Trader Joe’s), so I found a picture of the label and am running with the ingredients listed there (while making a few adjustments). The ratios […]
