Many restaurants are adopting vegan options on their menu, which is a great thing for those following a plant-based diet and/or vegan lifestyle. While it matters how these products are prepared, does it matter if they share the same grill when it comes to the vegan label? The news is full of articles about complaints […]
Will donuts and Vegan Steak Bakes launch at Greggs soon? Current state of sightings, rumours, and leaks
Despite not living in the UK, news about the convenience chain called Greggs enters my newsfeeds quite regularly. Drool worthy posts for the most part. Newsfeed appearances started with a vegan sausage roll offered by the chain that omnivores claimed tasted better than the meat version. And now Greggs has a bunch of new products […]
Vegan Ginger Orange Farro, Bean & Vegetable Meal Salad recipe (using Chop Above cutting board!)
This easy to make meal salad is full of vegetables and some grain. It’s colorful and flavorful while hearty and filling. It works either as a side, or as a base of a full meal. We like to add some pressed and grilled tofu to the top of this salad to make it into our […]
Vegan Pepper Gravy (Oil free, Fat free, low sodium)
Making a healthy gravy is so easy, and (to me) tastes almost exactly the same as the kinds that are loaded with grease and oil. Gravy is all about the spices, flavor and texture anyway. And you can make a gravy that has all of these things without loading it down with salt or fat. […]
Maple Pistachio Dessert Hummus recipe (Oil Free, Vegan, Low Fat, Sugar Free)
I had a pear and ginger flatbread from our local farmers market, and decided to try making a sweet dessert hummus that’s also (of course) oil free. All this entails is flavoring the hummus with something sweet instead of savory flavors. I didn’t want to add sugar to this one, so went with some pure […]
Role of Nutrition and the Microbiome in heart disease prevention (Dr Monica Aggarwal)
Since I started learning about plant-based health, learning about the microbiome and gut health has been one of the most fascinating and influential topics I have come across. I started my journey into healthy eating (as opposed to dieting to lose weight) after losing my dad to an aggressive cancer. I think that’s why learning […]
10 common mistakes in (diet-related) behavior change (Dr. Anthony Lim)

This presentation, and hopefully the notes from them, are incredibly useful if you are starting (or restarting) a transition to a plant-based diet or having difficulty maintaining one. If you struggle with moderation, balance, motivation, addiction, or other […]
Dry roasted Za’atar chickpeas (Low fat, no oil), a perfect vegan snack!
When you transition to a whole foods plant based diet, particularly a no oil and/or low fat version of this diet, you usually need to figure out some new snacking options. Many of the snacks we commonly turn to have a bit too much fat, or are processed. For me, it was nut butters. Those […]
How to use a tofu press to make delicious dishes such as baked tofu (recipe)
Learning different ways to prepare tofu will help you understand the possibilities of this ingredient, and as such add more variety to your meals. Tofu is something many people eating a standard American diet may have not encountered, or prepared, in their own kitchens. And if you eat it straight out of the package, it […]
We are switching specifically to a low fat plant based diet, no oil
I made the complete switch to a whole food plant based diet about a year ago, however I wasn’t specifically low fat until this weekend. We eat entirely plant based, relatively whole food, and not too much fat except special treats… but I can’t say I counted fat grams for many of the whole foods […]
