This presentation was by Dr. Anthony Lim, and discusses 10 common mistakes made when approaching behavior change. 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 […]

Thai Green Curry with Potato, Kale, and Peas (Low Fat, Vegan, Oil Free)
This recipe, again, came from what I happened to have in the fridge and pantry. The tomatoes needed to be used up (they were starting to wrinkle), and the fingerling potato bag was beckoning to me. I love fingerling potatoes. So I had a tin of Thai Green Curry paste and thought it would go […]
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 […]
Shaved Brussel Sprout, Cabbage & Carrot Salad (Oil free, vegan)
Literally what I made for lunch based on what I had in the fridge today. Let’s just say that while pre-planning this week’s recipes did not go as planned, I was lucky to have these ingredients naturally go so well together! I had thought of a shaved brussel sprout salad, but did not have plans […]
Three sorghum trail mix snacks to share: Spicy, Citrusy, and Sweet (Vegan, Oil Free)
I wanted to make a few different types of trail mix for quite some time. I have a bunch of bags of nuts and seeds, and I’m moving internationally, this means it’s time to start moving through my pantry so I do not need to pack it all in boxes! The plan was to make […]

Creamy vegan hot cereal breakfast with raspberries
Hot cereal, cream of wheat, or creamy wheat farina – it may differ slightly brand to brand, but it’s often about the same thing with slight variations. This hot cereal breakfast is made with plant-based milk so it is super creamy, and swirled with vanilla and raspberries to add a decadent flavor to your morning. […]
Vegan Golden Beet Spread: for sandwiches, or dipping veggies or flatbread
This middle eastern inspired golden beet spread is as delicious as it is healthy and pretty to serve. It would make a great addition to any party platter to dip vegetables or spread on pieces of toasted flatbread, and is versatile enough for adding to sandwiches too. The beets give the spread a nice sweet […]
My favorite middle eastern fusion wrap: Avocado Falafel flatbread wrap
I love an easy lunch that is incredibly quick to assemble so I can get back to work (or study… I just started a new university course about healthy communities). Many afternoons this involves throwing together a super-food smoothie, but some chilly days I prefer a sandwich with something heated inside along with a ton […]
Garlic Bread Pasta – A dairy-free comfort food dish (Vegan, Oil Free)
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 […]
