This Vegan Cheese Ball with Rosemary and Cranberries is the star of the appetizer table. Spread it on crackers, celery or rounds of sourdough bread.
I started making this years ago when I first started with a vegan diet and really missed cheese. It was so creamy and cheesy and satisfying and it was something that I could take to parties and know that I would have something to eat among all the party foods that I no longer wanted to eat.

These delicious gluten-free, oil-free, Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect for sharing, so make a double batch!
Sometimes you just need a little sweet treat. At least, I do. One of the best things that happened to me when I lost that extra 30 lbs (that I had carried around my entire adult life) by eating a whole-food, plant-based, oil-free diet is that now I can occasionally indulge in a little high fat, high-calorie food without gaining any weight. Yep! My metabolism became extremely efficient and it is easy to maintain my weight. It still blows my mind.

Whether they’re served for a holiday gathering or a weeknight dinner, these Vegan Oil-Free Sweet Potato Enchiladas will be a favorite.
You can use corn tortillas (like in the picture above) or if you have a sheet cutter attachment for your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, you can use sweet potato sheets to roll these into delicious enchiladas.
Using the sheet cutter and eliminating the corn in the filling will make them grain-free. My oldest daughter prefers the sweet potato wrap and my mom prefers the corn tortilla, so I usually do a pan of each.

There’s something so cheerful about a bright green, lemony pesto sauce. This Vegan Oil-Free, Nut-Free Pesto can be added to pasta, rice, salad dressings…so many delicious options!
Many, if not all of us, have come from eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and worked towards a way of eating that omits some of the unhealthy ingredients from that type of diet. The SAD pesto included parmesan cheese and olive oil…two things that give it the texture and flavor that we loved.
