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)

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 Make Homemade Low Fat Raw Vegan Almond Milk In A Blender

FTC Notice: This blog post contains affiliate links that go towards supporting the blog. 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…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…What Is The McDougall Diet Or McDougall Program For Maximum Weight-loss?

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.

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)

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.

My good friend Kevin Gianni from Renegade Health absolutely loves including homemade healthy cultured foods in his diet.

"If you like piña coladas and being caught in the rain..." goes the song by Jimmy Buffett... I think almost everyone knows the lyrics to this song. Even when I was a kid we would sing the words to this song and we had never had a piña colada before haha! But the song sure made them sound good, didn't it?

Occasionally I take recipes I've already made and change them up a bit depending on what I have on hand if I need to use up some fresh ingredients or when I'm looking for something different. I highly doubt this is in anyway an authentic Indian dish now, but it's still really tasty and healthy. I have adapted my Tarka Dal recipe here and doubled it except for the lentils and added yam, potatoes, and spinach to it. This time I just tossed all of the spices in at the same time instead of making a separate tarka tempering.…What Exactly is Gluten and What is Celiac Disease?
Relevance: 2% Posted on: December 5, 2012
What Exactly Is Gluten? Gluten (pronounced gloo-ten) is a protein that is found in wheat (and related grains such as barley, rye, spelt etc) and products containing these ingredients. Gluten is the reason wheat (and other related grain) doughs are elastic and easily stretchable. It holds the dough together, gives shape and produces a chewy texture when cooked. Gluten is also found in many seasonings, cosmetics and hair products and is used as a binder to "hold" ingredients together. Since gluten is a protein, it is often added to foods low in protein to enhance their level of protein.…Eat To Live Program By Dr. Fuhrman Overview
