Creamy Curry Soup with Zucchini and Potatoes recipe (Vegan, Oil free) for the stovetop or slow cooker
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, […]
Wildly delicious vegan alfredo sauce recipe (Oil free, low sodium)
I have developed this recipe over the past 6 months or so. I just kept making it, revising it, and then forgetting to add it to the site. But we kept making this over and over again because it is so delicious, we always had the ingredients in the house to make it happen, and […]
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”. I am a sucker for noodle soups and noodle based dishes, and drunken noodles ticks the boxes for being flavorful, filling, and versatile (in that I can use whatever type […]
Deluxe Sunomono Salad recipe (Vegan, oil free, low fat)
One of my favorite things to order at a Japanese restaurant, or in general, is Sunomono salad. Sunomono salad simply refers to food in vinegar, so it can be just about anything. In Canada it typically has noodles in the broth, but when we lived in California it was never served with noodles and often […]
Hearty walnut, mushroom, and flax “meaty” bolognese recipe (Oil free, vegan)
This hearty meal is perfect for a cold night, or when you need something that’s a bit of a comfort food. Its reminiscent of a very meaty bolognese both in texture and in taste. Because there is a ton of spice you won’t be let down on the flavor, or feel like you’re missing out. […]
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 […]
Quick & easy low-fat Thai peanut sauce (Vegan, No oil)
I have been meaning to make a low-fat peanut sauce for ages. There are many recipes of course, but I had some red Thai curry paste to use up and thought this might be a great and easy addition of spices in my peanut sauce. I also wanted to use peanut flour for a low-fat […]

It’s great to have a few plant-based comfort food recipes on hand. Not only are they great for those days where you really just need something quick and easy, but perhaps even to get over certain cravings. This garlic bread pasta fills the need for an easy, quick, comfort food that doesn’t use any animal […]
