I wanted a slice of bread without the hours of rising that yeast breads take, so I was excited to modify this recipe to see how it came out. The vegan, oil-free “buttermilk” gives it a deeper, more interesting flavor than milk or water could accomplish alone. Irish soda bread has been a staple of …
It’s always fun to find a recipe that my teen loves to eat, and between her and my husband, I’m lucky if I get a bowl of this lemony-mushroom orzo. This is ridiculously quick to make- and it keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Ironically, it never lasts that long! I’ve always used brown …
This is one of my favorite fast and easy lunches. It takes only about 10 minutes, depending on how long it takes you to chop a few mushrooms and garlic, and the turmeric makes it a wonderful anti-inflammatory meal. Instead of slamming your system with food that tears you down, this is a great midday …
These are addictive and delicious. I love to make roasted chickpeas when I know we’ll be taking long car rides, because everyone loves them. What’s better, since we don’t cook with oil, these never leave oil on your hands or in your car. For those of you without heart disease, you can add a touch …
I had a craving for my mom’s goulash, but I didn’t want the hamburger, oil and salt. This recipe uses pinto beans for a delicious substitute. You can also use black beans, lentils, or experiment with textured vegetable protein for different results. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Inspired by my …
My husband and I love spicy dinners, but my kids are not as enthusiastic. On days when I have leftovers for them, I will make this for Mark and I, so we get something delicious without offending their delicate palates. We love this vegan, oil-free dinner- it’s hearty, satisfying, and delicious- everything we want on …
A friend of mine casually mentioned the other day that she makes sweet potatoes every morning in her Instant Pot, and I admit I scoffed to myself. “Every morning?” I thought, “Psh, I make mine once a week and they’re always available in the fridge.” But… since I just got this Instant Pot… I thought, …
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn recommends an oil-free, vegan diet in his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease . In addition to the great recipes in his accompanying cookbook, The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook: Over 125 Delicious, Life-Changing, Plant-Based Recipes, here are a few recipes that meet Dr. Esselstyn’s guidelines that we make almost every week, …
My Aunt Cathy sent me a version of this recipe a few weeks ago and said she has added things to it but it just doesn’t seem right… it needs something to make it “just right”. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. I LOVE messing with recipes. I love trying to figure out what’s missing, and knowing my Aunt …
My dear friend gave me this Le Cruset dutch oven a week ago, and I’ve been dreaming of all the things I can make it in every night since. It looks gorgeous on my stove. It cooks beautifully. I may have fantasized about hugging it while I sleep. Ahem. Anyway. I used it for this …
