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 […]
Thai Red Curry Hummus recipe (Oil free, Vegan, low fat)
The texture of your hummus is very important: you want it smooth and creamy, so it spreads easily in your wraps and sandwiches, and it’s easy to dip your vegetables in.

Fall and Winter Round Up: Jams, soup, and potato recipes (ICYMI)

Southwest vegan caesar salad (Oil Free, Vegan)
Let’s face it, sometimes salads can get a bit boring. Not to mention a very “cliche” vegan choice (don’t all of our omnivore friends think all we eat is salad?). This vegan Caesar salad is simple to make and full of flavor due to the tangy dressing (found here). Honestly, I don’t miss the dairy […]

This hearty orzo salad is bright and fresh with tangy citrus and fresh parsley mixed into healthy chickpeas, cabbage, and tomatoes.

Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing: versatile plant-based dressing (Low fat, Vegan, No oil)
A variety of salad dressings, dips and other sauces make eating a whole food plant-based diet a breeze. They can add so much flavor and variety to your WFPB diet that you won’t miss animal based products nearly as much… or eventually at all. This vegan caesar salad dressing does not contain any animal products, […]
