Slowcooker Vegan White Bean Cassoulet by SkinnyMs

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: March 16, 2014

I love using white beans, especially in plant-based Mediterranean cuisine. They are a delicious addition to soups, stews, chillis, salads or even in place of chickpeas in hummus. They have a mild creamy taste and pair well with almost any herb. I instantly liked this recipe for vegan white bean cassoulet because is jam packed and filled with veggies and flavor without all the meat and cheese of the classic French dish. And once you see how beautiful it is when it comes together it's sure to please all of your family's senses. So before you put away your slow…

The Best Low Fat Vegan Chef Recipes of 2012

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: January 2, 2013

A little bit of a prelude: 2012 was an incredibly crazy year for me. Here's the short versionof it: My website really started growing back in January 2012. I went to Dr. John McDougall's 3 Day Advanced Study Weekend in February and started promoting my site to the McDougalls and others I met there. I released my first solo recipe ebook in March, Comfort Soups To Keep You Warm. I moved into a new house just outside of Vancouver at the end of May. By July I was on my own and working full time to support myself with this website.…

80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Cherry Blaster Smoothie

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: September 21, 2011

I love love love cherries. I also love love love cherry smoothies. If you've never had one, YOU MUST TRY IT. Pitting cherries by hand is kind of a pain, but scroll to the bottom to find out how I do mine quickly. If you live in the USA you can also look for frozen black cherries at the grocery store, those are great to have too. You can also buy cherries cheaper at the end of the summer season and pit a bunch yourself and freeze them in plastic bags to use all year which is handy to have.…

Seitan Makhani (Vegan “Unbutter Chicken”) Recipe

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: March 10, 2013

Ok I have to admit something to you. I've never actually had buttered chicken, but it's because once upon a time I was a little afraid of spicy food and afraid I would not like Indian food... (Hah funny I know right.) I also stopped eating butter and dairy a long time ago and also did not eat foods with dairy products. So I will not try to argue that I know this is an "authentic" recipe or anything like that. Just because you eat plant based now doesn't mean you have to miss out on delicious Indian curries! BUT…

Special Occasions: Plant Based Cheesecake and Blueberry Rooibos Compote (Vegan Cheesecake)

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: November 26, 2011

FTC Notice: This blog contains affiliate links that go towards supporting the blog.  Today I made a special recipe for my friend's birthday. A vegan cheesecake with vegan graham cracker crust and blueberry rooibos compote. When trying to impress friends and especially non-vegans, having a great vegan comfort food treat can be a little daunting, but trust me this recipe is easy. Since I have never made a vegan cheesecake before, and the last time I made actual cheesecake was almost a decade a go, I decided to look online and see what I could find. My friend requested an…

Plant-Based Broccoli Mushroom Rotini Casserole (Vegan Pasta)

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: September 15, 2013

I had some leftover broccoli florets and mushrooms in the fridge I needed to use up and thought of baking them into pasta casserole. Then I thought, what if I were to chop these up super super small and HID them in a cheezy sauce? Then I would have a fantastic recipe for those who have a hard time getting their children or spouses to eat their vegetables! So that's why this recipe was designed and it's not quite as indulgent as just pasta in cheezy sauce. It has some delicious veggies hiding in it too! I like to use…

How To Make Your Own Raw Almond Milk in a Vitamix

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: September 14, 2014

Almond milk is something that many people use nowadays, whether they are vegan or have dairy allergies. Sure you can buy some (non raw) almond milk at the store for your smoothies or cooking, but there's likely going to be sugar, preservatives and other additives and synthetic stuff in it as well. While it is convenient to use pre made almond milk, it's not a good idea to base your whole diet on processed packaged foods. It's very easy to make at home, and most cost effective if you enjoy using almond pulp in recipes like raw bars, cookies, crackers,…

Oil-Free Vegan Tofu Eggless “Egg” Salad Recipe (Plant Based)

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: August 17, 2019

Sometimes I get asked what do oil free plant based eaters do  for lunches or healthy sandwiches now when giving up lunch meat, mayo and other processed ingredients. Of course you could always make a vegetable sandwich or wrap, but sometimes you want something that can look a little more covert or are craving an old comfort food. These tofu eggless "egg salad" sandwiches look and taste great and are really easy to make so you have enough for sandwiches or snacks for the week. Not looking for a sandwich? You can eat it with a spoon for a high…

20 Minutes To The Table: Baked Flatbread with Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Artichokes and Basil

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: July 28, 2013

So the other day I was craving something pizza-like, but knew I wanted to put a healthy twist on it. Although you may think I'm apt to put hummus on just about anything (I might! lol) I actually don't eat hummus all that often. But when I do, I love to make my own from scratch as it's super simple. In this recipe I wanted to use the creamy hummus to sub for the sauce and cheese of traditional pizza and then top with some delicious veggies. Although you can use store bought hummus, I don't like that it contains…

10 Tips For Eating Out Raw At Restaurants

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: June 18, 2013

Depending where you live, you might be more or less able to continue your raw eating habits when dining out with friends and family. Just because you are a raw foodist, it does not mean that you have to eat all of your meals alone or at home (unless you want to). Some people in your life might even be put off with the fact that you no longer socialize the way they do. Although you are living a healthier (and hopefully happier) life than some of your friends with unhealthy eating habits, there’s no reason to make an outcast…

I know this is a topic some of you have been waiting for me to cover for a long time. And I have to say I'm sorry for not doing it sooner! I have pretty much all the kitchen gadgets I need (and then some!) by this point so it's definitely time I share this with you. I've made two parts, one for kitchen appliances and one for gadgets and list them in order of most used and loved. And yes I do love some of my kitchen appliances because they make my job SO much easier. And who doesn't…

Kik Alicha (Vegan Ethiopian Yellow Split Pea Stew)

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: October 3, 2011

I love Ethiopian food, when it's fresh especially, but also because it is very tasty and filling as well. Some of the dishes are very easy to make, and taste perfectly fine using zero oil. The lentil and split pea dishes are especially tasty and easy to make. This yellow split pea stew one is my absolute favourite of all Ethiopian dishes because it is mild and savoury. I'm not one for the spicy dishes like mesir wot, but you can always add some spiciness to this dish if you desire. Serve this Kik Alicha with injeera, rice or even…

Slow Cooker – Plant Based Chickpea, Potato, Pea Coconut Curry (Vegan and Dairy Free)

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: November 23, 2017

Hey everyone! Today I have a new recipe for you that I threw together from what I had in the fridge and cupboard as I was craving a warm curry with the cool weather we're having in Toronto right now. This is one you can make in your slow cooker (I have a Ninja cooking system which can do a few more fancy things than a regular slow cooker) or on the stove if you have time to watch it. As always it's oil free and I used dried chickpeas and soaked them overnight before tossing them in the slow cooker.…

Low Fat Vegan Deluxe Dijon Tofu Scramble With Veggies

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: January 18, 2012

This is by far the best tofu scramble I have ever tasted, including at vegetarian restaurants. It is also the first scramble I have ever made personally. I was really going for something that would be savory and flavourful and have some colour and dynamic to it and not like a plain tofu only style scramble. I guess I wanted to go big or go home, and dove right in. So I searched around and found great inspiration from my friend Malloreigh's Semi Famous Tofu Scramble. She puts tons of veggies in her scramble, and I agree it works. So I…

How To Roast Garlic In The Oven Without Oil: Fat Free Roasted Garlic

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: February 29, 2012

Yes you can make roasted garlic without oil! There's actually no real need to use oil when roasting garlic in the oven. When you add oil to oven baked foods it makes them cook faster and at a hotter temperature and the oil does retain a little moisture so they don't dry out. But when you are putting your garlic in tin foil anyways to steam, it's unnecessary. It might take a few more minutes to roast, but it will be calorie free and still delicious. I've seen some peoples' directions recommend a teaspoon or two of oil for each…

How To Cook Without Oil Cooking without oil and creating oil free recipes like salad dressings is pretty easy in most cases. It's very easy to cook without olive oil. You can steam, boil, sauté (in water or vegetable broth) or bake food all without any added oils. Oil has 120 calories per tablespoon and is 100% fat. When you're looking to cut a few calories in your diet and give your arteries (and waistline) a little break from things like butter, olive oil, cheese, etc this is a good way to cook.

How To Make Seitan or Vegan “Wheat Meat”

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: February 28, 2013

Seitan or "wheat meat" is made from wheat gluten, the protein that makes wheat flour stick together and makes bread spongey. Seitan is often used to make mock meats and is frequently used in vegetarian Chinese cuisine. It's also used in Tofurkey products along with tofu to help it stick together. I was a little apprehensive about making my own seiten as I had never made it before, but it turns out to be VERY easy. To make seitan quickly it is faster to just buy vital wheat gluten "flour" (which is essentially just wheat protein with all of the…

Quick Stovetop Plant-Based Black Bean Chilli (Vegan Recipe)

Relevance: 2%      Posted on: October 20, 2013

This is a really tasty and easy chili that tastes like it's been simmered for hours, but it's ready in about 25 minutes! The secret is in using roasted or smoked spices and fire roasted tomatoes that make this vegan black bean chilli so good. My favorite fire roasted tomatoes are made by Muir Glen Organics. You can make this recipe in a slow cooker, but since the majority of the ingredients are already pre cooked there's no reason to take all day creating this. When you want a hot meal that's comfort in a bowl, one pot meals are…
