Even before we switched to eating whole food plant-based, we loved making roasted veggies. The problem is, we would usually coat them in a generous amount of oil. One of the first things we wanted to tackle was a way to roast them without using refined, processed oil. It turns out, tahini makes a great substitute! Continue reading
Fall is here and that means… spaghetti squash! They were on sale at our local grocery store a few weeks back, so I decided to pick one up. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do with it, but I figured Brian would make something delicious. We roasted it in the oven and before I knew it, Brian was adding a splash of this and a splash of that to the sauce. Continue reading
When we first started eating a whole food, plant-based diet, I’ll admit – the idea of roasting anything without at least spraying it with oil first was foreign to me. We started experimenting and found that with a few small modifications, it is actually super easy! Continue reading
If you’ve watched our videos, you probably know by now that we love using our Griddler for oil-free cooking. One day, Brian threw a few slices of tofu on there and it turned out super tasty! He has spent the last few months experimenting with the marinade/seasoning mix for this one and I think you’ll really enjoy it! Continue reading
By my calculations, we have made about 20 giant batches of chili in the past 14 months. That is a LOT of chili! Brian has had so many chances to experiment and tinker with the spice blend and honestly, every batch has been super tasty…BUT… he made this version a few weeks ago and I knew that he had finally nailed it. So I am officially dubbing this “Brian’s Super Tasty Vegan Chili.” Continue reading
One of our staple recipes over the past year has been what we lovingly call our “Weird Green Soup.” Since we make it so often, we’ve had a chance to play around with the recipe quite a bit! One of our favorite variations is an Italian inspired version, so we thought we’d share it with you. This one turned out with a mostly orange hue, so we decided to dub it our “Weird Orange Soup.” Continue reading
Who doesn’t love a good taco bar? You might think this is something you would have to give up when switching to a whole food, plant-based diet – but that is definitely not the case! We love baking up our own oil-free taco shells at home and loading them up with all kinds of toppings. Continue reading
Ketchup is something we had pretty much given up after switching to a whole food, plant-based diet since most store-bought versions are FULL of added salt, oil, sugar, etc. We always figured making our own would be a pain… but we recently discovered that we were so wrong! Continue reading
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
For the past 10 days, we have been doing something called a “Mary’s Mini.” Long story short – we’ve been eating a ton of our favorite thing – POTATOES! One of the first preparation methods Brian tested out was mashed potatoes and they have been a favorite of mine throughout this challenge. Continue reading
