Yesterday I wrote about a garlic cream sauce made with steamed cauliflower. The following recipe is one very simple way to use this sauce. The recipe I posted makes a ton of sauce, so you will have ample resources to make several meals from your spoils. In this recipe, you simply combine the pasta, vegetables, […]
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 […]
Oil-free Super Garlic Hummus (Low Fat, Vegan)
My favorite hummus from a store comes from the deli counter of a small local shop. The owner confidently states “If you come back for anything, it’ll be for the hummus.” He was right. The first thing you notice is the GARLIC. It punches you right in the face, but it’s absolutely delicious! I was […]
Low fat pumpkin pie filling (Vegan, Oil Free)

I was impressed how creamy […]

Creamy potato and chickpea green salad (Low fat, no oil, vegan)
I love “meal” sized salads that carry enough punch they fill you up and let you feel satisfied. This vegan and oil-free salad fits the bill. It has a bunch of potato and chickpeas added to add a bunch of fiber, starch, and protein to fill your stomach and leave you satiated at the end […]
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 […]
How can I eat a plant based diet on a budget? It’s too expensive!
Starting a new diet based on health can be daunting. Not only do you need to adjust what you cook, but your monthly expenses also change as a result of a different grocery list. Many people think that starting a plant based diet is expensive, and therefore unrealistic considering their budget. However, it is certainly […]
