Candidly, the recipes are posted for my convenience, referring to the iPad in the kitchen. I’m sure you’d like them, too.
Recipes mainly. All are vegetarian, nearly all vegan, aka whole-food plant-based WFPB and, especially the recent ones, low to no oil.
The website Bad Manners has great, simple vegan recipes. I’ve alternated making my Mom’s Chili with a version of their Pumpkin Chili for cold-weather dinners for at least four years.
