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 […]
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 […]
Hearty potato and vegetable noodle soup (Low Fat, Oil Free, Vegan)
This soup recipe emerged from the typical scenario: what did I have in the pantry and fridge to make something with. I added flavors until it was bold enough. I added “stuff” until it was hearty enough. Yes, a bowl of this soup is definitely a meal, no question. And it has enough flavor to […]
Spicy Cranberry Mushroom Bok Choy Stir Fry (Low Fat, Vegan, Oil Free)
This recipe is a great one for your leftover cranberries that might be in the fridge or freezer after the holidays (it also makes a fantastic holiday side dish if it’s the season!). I purchased way too many bags of cranberries, and have been left with more than I care to admit on hand. So […]
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 […]
Spicy and Creamy Chipotle Bean and Potato Stew (Low Fat, Oil Free, Vegan)
This meal is inexpensive, and filling… also creamy but entirely low fat and dairy-free. It will either feed a crowd, or offer a bunch of leftovers in the fridge for later in the week. It’s starch forward, low fat, vegan, made of whole foods, and does not contain any oil. But despite this it is […]
Chocolate Mint Pudding (Low fat, dairy free, soy free, nut free)
This vegan chocolate pudding does not contain much fat. I’m not using any of some of the common ingredients, such as avocado, nuts, tofu, or coconut milk or cream. Instead, this pudding uses white beans to achieve the thick and rich texture of a traditional chocolate pudding. It’s cheap, full of fiber, filling, and nearly […]
Moist and delicious walnut banana bread (no oil, low fat, vegan)
This low fat and vegan banana bread was inspired by several different sources in order to make it low fat and retain that moist banana bread feel we remember from youth. I am not a baker, so this recipe is courtesy of mom! I was so lucky to be the taste tester – a real […]
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 […]
Tofu Scramble Breakfast Burrito (Low Fat, Vegan, No oil)
This Tofu Scramble breakfast burrito (or just… tofu scramble burrito) is something we make at least a couple times per month. Possibly more. It’s such an easy thing to make, filling, cheap, and healthy. The burrito works just as well for lunch and dinner, which is probalby the most common time we eat it anyway! […]
Cucumber and noodle sunomono salad recipe (Low Fat, Vegan) – Updated recipe!
This magnificent side-dish (or meal-sized if you believe in yourself) is cold, refreshing, and of course entirely plant-based. A sunomono salad roughly translates to Japanese Vinegar Salad (or, “vinegared” food)- it’s kind of like sweetened vinegar soup, in a way, since the food is often in a small to large amount of “broth”. It’s delicious. […]
