  • Vegan Hoppin’ John Feast

    This vegan Hoppin’ John feast is my plant-based take on a Southern classic. Traditionally, Hoppin’ John is made with black-eyed peas served over rice, but to make it a more complete meal, I serve it with collard greens, roasted sweet potato wedges, and—for soaking up the delicious broth—my homemade millet bread. No pork, dairy, or…

  • Broccoli with Brown Sauce

    This is my go-to when I’m craving takeout but want it to be healthy. The brown sauce is rich and flavorful without any soy, thanks to coconut aminos.

  • Aloo Matar

    This is one of my favorite meals from the Medical Medium. It’s simple to make, fat-free, and surprisingly satisfying!

If you’re following a SOS-free lifestyle (no salt, oil, or sugar),…

  • Vinegar-free Italian Dressing

    This is a salad dressing you can feel good about eating!

Not only is cantaloupe hydrating, but it’s also packed with essential vitamins and minerals that provide immune support, improve digestion, and offer overall nourishment. I first learned about cantaloupe’s benefits from Anthony…

  • The BEST Vegan Chili Soup

    This is my favorite chili soup. It’s made with simple ingredients and is Medical Medium compliant. There’s no meat, dairy, or corn in this chili, and it absolutely doesn’t need it! I like to make it with dried beans cooked in the Instant Pot, but you’re welcome to use canned-just make sure you rinse them…

  • Vegan Pot Roast

    I created this Vegan Pot Roast for the holidays this year, and it turned out even better than I expected! It’s hearty, packed with rich, savory flavors, and made entirely from wholesome ingredients. Not only is it plant-based, but it’s also a great option for anyone with allergies, as it’s free from common allergens like…
