Greek Zucchini Salad with Vegan Feta

 

It’s that time of year when your garden is cranking out zucchini faster than you can use it or sneak it over to the neighbor’s front porch. 😆

Oil-Free Cabbage and Apple Slaw

August 27, 2020 by Trish Hall 8 Comments

If you’re looking for an alternative to the typical creamy fat-laden coleslaw, this Oil-Free Cabbage and Apple Slaw will delight you!

Oil-Free Cabbage and Apple Slaw

The sweetness of the apples is a nice compliment to the tartness of the vinegar. I used a combination of a cilantro balsamic and apple cider vinegar, but you could use either one alone or any other of your favorite kinds of vinegar. I’m in love with California Balsamics vinegar so check them out if you haven’t already done so. (I’ll put a link to their website in the recipe notes.)  If you use just straight vinegar and no balsamic, you’ll want to add a little bit of sweetener to cut the sharpness of the acid. Maple syrup works well for this.

Kale and Quinoa Salad with Apples

May 27, 2020 by Trish Hall 5 Comments

This Kale and Quinoa Salad with Apples is a nutritious meal by itself or a great addition to your potluck table. It’s great for packed lunches too!

Kale and Quinoa Salad with Apples

I’m a big fan of salads, but one thing I especially like about a kale salad is that it can be made ahead. Kale is so hearty that it doesn’t wilt or get wimpy if it sits in the fridge for a few days. Even after having dressing on it, it is still crunchy and good. …

Vegan Oil-Free Hot Corn Dip

May 4, 2020 by Trish Hall Leave a Comment

With all the spicy, gooey goodness of the original recipe and none of the dairy, this Vegan Oil-Free Hot Corn Dip will be the hit of the potluck or party!

 

This is a major fix to a recipe that is loaded with fat. Cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese…all replaced with much lower fat plant foods.

Vegan Meatballs

January 6, 2020 by Trish Hall 6 Comments

These Vegan Meatballs can be seasoned to go with spaghetti, stirfry, or in a barbeque sandwich! They’re oil-free and full of fiber and protein.

Vegan Meatballs

 

I wanted to name these Your Mom’s Got Vegan Balls, but…I listened to my more mature side (and a much more successful blogger) and kept it simple. Not as funny, but not everyone is into my sense of humor, haha!

They’re quite easy to make so if you don’t need step by step pictures, scroll down to the recipe box at the bottom of the page.

Vegan Tuna Rolls

January 2, 2019 by Trish Hall 5 Comments

They’re beautiful, full of healthful ingredients and so delicious! These Vegan Tuna Rolls will be the star of the table and the first to be gone!

Vegan Tuna Rolls

A lovely lunch with two friends at a local winery.

 

I wasn’t quite sure what to call this recipe.

At a Japanese restaurant, I would always call these things “sushi rolls” and there were many choices of fillings. Recently I learned that a roll like this is called Maki and is usually filled with rice, veggies, and fish, but can be ordered with only veggies.

I started making these a few years ago and found out by accident that tomatoes look a bit like raw tuna. I decided to marinate them in some things to give them a more ocean-like flavor and these Vegan Tuna Rolls were created.

Vegan Oil-free Au Gratin Potatoes

December 29, 2018 by Trish Hall 20 Comments

You can enjoy these creamy and cheesy Oil-Free Au Gratin Potatoes without worrying about the ill effects of dairy cream or cheese.  

Vegan Oil-free Au Gratin Potatoes

 

In my house, potatoes are the main star of most meals. Yesterday, I was excited to play with my new food processor (a very awesome gift from my daughter!) and I was in such awe of all the options it has that my old one doesn’t. One of the coolest options is an adjustable blade for slicing. Slicing up these Yukon Gold potatoes was so easy and fun!

Oil-Free Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate

 

Honestly, I never liked Brussel Sprouts. Every time I was forced to eat them I almost gagged. Even when I started eating a plant-based diet, they were off the table…until…
