Soy-free Vegan Mayonnaise

It seems everyone these days has been personally affected by cancer in one way or another. When my Dad was diagnosed a couple of years ago, our whole world changed in the blink of an eye. It was rough on him, our family, and his love for bacon. Yes, you better believe his diet went…

Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls

Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls

300 calorie meal. Sounds tantalizing, doesn’t it? What if I told you that 1 serving of these cabbage rolls weren’t 300 calories, but 260? And I’m not talking about a tiny wee portion either. Ridiculous, right? Ah, I know!

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)

When we first met, Kevin knew he was sensitive to lactose but ate it anyways because he didn’t think there were any other options and had no familiarity with dairy-free recipes.

Roasted Salad Towers

Roasted Salad Towers

Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts

I know what you’re thinking… ‘Brussels sprouts? Why would you waste a perfectly good post on Brussels sprouts?’ That’s a fair question. I don’t really like them either. That is unless they’re prepared using the recipe below or added to a grain-free veggie bowl like I did here. Maybe it’s all the roasted garlic, the…
