The combination of beans, red lentils and quiona provides excellent protein and fiber, making it ideal for sustained energy and fullness.

If you have been missing the smoky, savory flavor of bacon, I’ve got you covered! This smoky Tempeh Bacon is a delicious plant-based alternative that you can feel good about eating. It’s slightly smoky, a little sweeet and so satisfying. Plus, it’s made from wholesome ingredients and is easy to prepare.

Would you make a BLTA Sandwich (bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado) or would you prefer the tempeh bacon with some tofu scramble?

🤑Budget Friendly - Bulk Buys

Buying rolled oats in a bulk bag has become one of our favorite simple ways to save money and stay stocked with a healthy staple.

We use oats in so many ways—morning oatmeal, overnight oats, and ground into a flour for gluten free baking.

Having a large bag on hand means fewer trips to the store and a best of all - a better price per serving.

We divide the oats into storage containers so they stay fresh and are easy to access in our kitchen.

Look for bulk buys on rice, quinoa, dried beans, lentils, flour, nuts, seeds, vinegar, dried spices, and other pantry items that you use frequently.

If you don’t need a large 25 pound bag you can find serve yourself bulk bins at some grocery stores like Whole Foods, Winco, Food, Co-Ops and Sprouts where you can buy as much or as little as you need. You aren’t paying for packaging or a name brand product and it saves money.

I purchase some hard to find items like organic oat groats in 2 pound pkgs from Amazon or other on line suppliers.

Costco and Sam’s Club or other big box stores can also save you money on basic pantry items, condiments, produce, and even tofu.

Keep in mind that you need to use these foods up before they go bad. I like to store extra grains, nuts and seeds in the refrigerator or freezer to prolong them.

🌱 Do you buy any staples in bulk?

Vegan Ranch Dressing. It is thick, creamy, garlicky and yes, maybe even addictive. Did I mention that it is indeed, oil free, nut free, dairy free, gluten free and still packed with amazing flavor. Some people tell me they make this dressing every week.

It is perfect on your chopped salad, baked potatoes, in twice baked potatoes, on veggie burgers, on icebeg lettuce, as a dip for raw veggies, put it in a wrap, drizzled over steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Am I forgetting any other way to enjoy it? Let me know in the comments.

I am happy to share with you my best version of a vegan Ranch dressing. It is thick, creamy, garlicky and yes, maybe even addictive. Did I mention that it is indeed, oil free, nut free, dairy free, gluten free and still packed with amazing flavor. Tom and I are both obsessed with this dressing.
