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 […]
Wildly delicious vegan alfredo sauce recipe (Oil free, low sodium)
I have developed this recipe over the past 6 months or so. I just kept making it, revising it, and then forgetting to add it to the site. But we kept making this over and over again because it is so delicious, we always had the ingredients in the house to make it happen, and […]
Chipotle Lime Mayo / Spread / Aioli recipe (Oil free, Vegan, SOS free option)
Burritos are a staple at our house. We have a bunch of variations on the standard burrito (a few recipes are on this site already, and more are to come), but this chipotle spread is tasty on every variety we’ve eaten so far. The smoky chipotle flavor combines perfectly with the hint of tangy lime […]
Fall and Winter Round Up: Jams, soup, and potato recipes (ICYMI)

Spicy Ginger Lemongrass salad dressing (No oil, vegan)
Ever since I went low-fat and no-oil, I threw out all the oils in my household. Then when I moved temporarily into mom’s house I did the same (with her blessing of course). Well, in each case we sent them to a friend who uses oil… so at least it wasn’t wasteful. Regardless, it set […]
Creamy Tamarind Sauce and Dip (Low Fat, Vegan)
I am frequently trying out random concoctions, often sauces and dips, to put on top of baked potatoes. A baked potato side with a bit of sauce is a lunch time regular. Potatoes are filling and a healthy addition to a low fat plant-based diet. Tamarind concentrate is a very tangy, bright and citrusy flavor […]
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 […]
