Vegan Recipe: Deliciously Dairy-Free & Fair-Trade Chocolate Chips

Vegan Recipe: Oil-Free Oil
I don’t usually pay much attention to oil use, or fat-free-ness: when my kitchen plans hum along normally, I find that a whole-food plant-based diet sort of naturally works out for me health-and-weight-wise, without oil restriction needed.

So I tinkered up this oil substitute, with an eye towards trimming the fat and calories from our daily bread. If you’re trying to cut down on added fats and oils in your cooking, check it out! More
