This green goddess dressing is a little bit different. I have made the lemon stand out in this recipe, and then added ginger as a secondary component that stands out. I love the likely health benefits of ginger, and combined with fresh raw garlic this recipe is really a powerhouse of goodness. You can easily […]
Cardamom orange rice pudding recipe (Vegan, Oil Free, low fat)
Rice pudding can actually be healthy, and certainly then qualifies as a potential breakfast food (well, at least sometimes right?). This recipe keeps it low fat by using a regular plant-based milk of your choice. You can choose how you want to sweeten this dish by either using dates entirely, or you can use maple […]
How to choose non-stick cookware for cooking oil-free plant-based meals
This article is focused on helping you choose safe and suitable cookware for using on the stovetop. If you frequent the oil-free plant-based communities, there are often many suggestions on what to use. Many plant-based community members mention using ceramic cookware, but some of it is not safe – what type should you get? And […]
Crispy and savory chipotle vegetable corn bake (Oil Free, Vegan)
The goal for this recipe was to make an easy meal that was low cost, provided a bunch of leftovers, and had a ton of flavor. And it worked! While you do need to dice a bunch of vegetables for this one (a dicing tool or food processor really helps!), it’s super easy to put […]
Instant Pot Mango Sticky Rice (Vegan, Low Fat)
We don’t make many desserts, but this one has become somewhat regular in our rotation because it isn’t too bad health-wise and fits our goals for being both low fat and oil free. Mango sticky rice is an “accidentally vegan” dish in general, and oil free, but isn’t typically low fat due to the coconut […]
Fall and Winter Round Up: Jams, soup, and potato recipes (ICYMI)
Because there was a glitch with our mailing list, it seems as though the messages have not been sent out for a long time. I had a hunch, but have been so focused on starting our plant-based farm this year it ended up on the back-burner a bit. So if you are on the mailing […]
Garlic Mashed Potatoes recipe (Vegan, Salt free, Oil Free)
One of my all-time favorite things to make is the simple mashed potato. Maybe it’s texture, or part nostalgia, it’s truly one of my favorite foods. I used to make mashed potatoes so unhealthy by adding butter, cream, and all sorts of other things (bacon bits, you name it). But the crazy thing is that […]
Tomato Jam with goldenberries and chia seeds (Vegan, SOS free)
This Tomato Jam contains both goldenberries and chia seeds. The Goldenberries add a sweet and sour note to the delicious tomato spread that you can use in your sandwiches, vegetable bowls, as a tomato ketchup replacement, or many other plant-based dishes. It’s healthy, and an SOS-free recipe: it’s free of oil, salt, and sugar. Goldenberries […]
Tomato Jam with chia seeds (Vegan, SOS free)
Tomato jam is an excellent and versatile condiment to add to your repertoire. You can use it in sandwiches, on “carrot dogs” (as a replacement for ketchup), in your buddah bowls and so on. You could quite possibly use this sauce in place of tomato paste too. It’s really healthy too, containing vegetables, chia seeds, […]
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 […]
Oil-free Dragon Sauce: insanely tasty ginger dip or bowl dressing (Low fat, Vegan)
Dragon sauce is a ginger forward creamy sauce that is usually added to buddah bowls – bowls filled with a grain, vegetables, and perhaps tofu chunks that have been baked or fried. But really it’s a perfect sauce for all sorts of things: dipping vegetables, drizzing over roasted vegetables, or just heaping a spoonful on […]
Low fat pumpkin pie filling (Vegan, Oil Free)
This pumpkin pie is simple to make, and delicious. It’s one of those recipes where your guests will not realize is entirely plant-based. And they definitely will not know that it’s low fat and relatively (apart from the sugar) healthy, particularly compared to the traditional non-vegan version of the dish. I was impressed how creamy […]
