I know I preach a low fat lifestyle (hell, I author a fat-free blog!) and thatis how I live and eat... but I'm not going to lie. I love avocados and I love guacamole. I figured, if beans can make brownies, there has to be a way to make lower fat guacamole, right? While this guacamole isn't fat-free (soybeans have fat in them) its still low fat and also high in protein. You could try substituting peas for the …
Fat-Free Vegan White Bean Strawberry Blondies Recipe Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Recipe READ MORE »
I've always thought "Blondies" were a white brownie (of sorts). So when my black bean brownies came out better than I could have ever imagined, I wondered if I could do the same with blondies. I realized rather quickly, hell yes I can!

This recipe and over 175 recipes are in my new cookbook. These brownies are really, really good... and so easy to make, too! Since they're …
Vcon: Chickpea Cutlets Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon READ MORE »
I'm sure everyone has made and/or blogged about these cutlets by know. I know I posted about them back when HH was still over at blogspot. Yet these cutlets are so good, I can't help but give them another shout out. I tend to make them when omnivores are coming over for dinner, especially omni's who still think us vegans eat salads at every meal... I just love seeing their reaction when I present a vegan dish that requires using …
