Vegan Peanut Butter Pie
This easy vegan peanut butter pie is my number one most-made dessert. It comes together in minutes. Just throw some ingredients in the blender, pour it into a purchased graham cracker pie crust (or make your own), and pop it in the freezer. Easy. Even better, it’s rich and creamy and always gets lots of…

Strawberry Walnut Salad
This tasty strawberry walnut salad is one of my go-to recipes when I want a healthy meal that is easy to prepare, yet satisfying. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors from the strawberries and oranges, the crunch from the walnuts, and the creaminess of the avocado make this salad a delicious and nutritious explosion…

Throw in some potatoes, carrots, and other favorite veggies and you’ve got an amazing vegan potato soup! How to…

Vegan Shredded Chicken
Why I Love Vegan Shredded Chicken My friend Margie introduced me to this recipe. I was incredulous when she told me you could make seitan chicken using just two ingredients. Really, just one.

Oil-Free Lentil Soup
Lentil soup is a staple comfort food that’s perfect for fall, winter, and spring. It’s loaded with nutrition including iron and protein. I think it’s so important for the lentils to be super soft and smooth, and just to melt in your mouth. I also think the flavor of the base is critical–rich and savory…

Oil-Free Scrambled Tofu
Scrambled tofu. It’s a staple in most vegan diets. This recipe may not be the newest, or most creative, but I sure do love the flavor. I also love that you can mix the dry ingredients together in a container and just shake it on to season your tofu if you just love your scrambled…

Easy Vegan Instant Pot Soy Yogurt
I love yogurt. I grew up packing it in my school lunches, and my favorite was go-gurt (can anyone relate? Do they still make that stuff?) When I became vegan, I enjoyed vegan yogurts, but it was just too expensive. Fast forward about fifteen years of being vegan. When Ryan was hospitalized for cancer, I…

Oil-Free Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Sometimes it feels like a battle to get my kids to eat anything. Anything. Much less something nourishing and wholesome. Also with two little ones, I don’t have tons of time. That’s why I love this recipe. When I made this broccoli cheddar soup for my blog, my kids both inhaled bowl after bowl. And…

Because it’s the perfect simple, healthy dessert that’s easy to toss together and everyone will enjoy. If you’re looking for a sweet and satisfying…

No Oil Granola
Granola is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. It’s ready in your cupboard to pull out on a moment’s notice. And if you make it once, you’re good for a week or more. It is delicious, crunchy, and full of nutrients. While most granola recipes include oil and sugar leaving me less than enthused, there…
