Earlier this year, I decided to try to make cookies using butternut squash. After I baked them and gave one to Brian, he said “wow, these are tasty… but I think they’d be better as muffins!” and thus my Butternut Pecan Muffin recipe was born. As with all of our recipes, these muffins are completely oil-free and plant-based. Continue reading
Brian has always loved breakfast foods, so when he started working on a whole food, plant-based breakfast casserole, I knew it would be delicious. Okay… maybe I was a little bit skeptical after he told me he was going to use a pumpkin seed mixture as his “eggy” base. Even as we were getting ready to bake it, I wasn’t sure how it would work out, but I was absolutely delighted by the final product! Continue reading
With my newly discovered love of oatmeal, I decided to challenge Brian to create a better oatmeal than mine. He accepted my challenge and in true Brian fashion, he completely winged it on the morning of the challenge, making something he had never put together before. And of course… it was delicious.

A lot of people have been asking how we use our Griddler for oil-free cooking, so we thought we’d put together a little demo video. We also included the recipe for Brian’s Chili-Spiced Hash Browns! Check it out and let us know what you cook on your Griddler. Continue reading
As you may remember, we started our “diet” with two weeks of eating nothing but plain baked potatoes. Since then, we have adopted a whole food, plant-based lifestyle and lost over 260 pounds combined! For a while after the two weeks of potatoes, neither of us wanted to see another potato again! However, time heals all wounds, and eventually Brian was the first to want potatoes (just not plain). I took a bit longer to come around. One day last week, Brian was talking about wanting to make hash browns. I always assumed this couldn’t be done without oil, butter, etc. to make them crispy. So we set off on a mission to figure out the best way to make them oil-free, but still crispy and delicious! Continue reading
We like to keep breakfast as simple as possible. Brian and I rarely like the same things, so we each have two different breakfast “recipes” we like to rotate between. Brian usually starts his morning with overnight oats, but for times when he forgets to prep his oats – which happens a lot 🙂 – he makes his “Banana Butter Toast.” I usually always have a bowl of frozen fruit, but I like to add in a fresh apple or banana with toast to mix it up!
