Introduction

After much research and thought I have decided a whole food plant based diet is the best choice for me. Here are some recipes I use and I hope you enjoy! Most of my recipes will focus on whole food animal product free meals. I do like to bake some vegan pastries from time to time though they are not intended to be healthy but to provide a treat while maintaining a plant based diet. If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask away!

Spaghetti

This is easy, tasty and quick.  What more could you ask for?

Ingredients

  • 2 cans organic diced tomatoes
  • 1 can organic tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 can black olives
  • 1 package whole wheat spaghetti noodles
  • 2-4 cups of your favorite fresh vegetables cut up in bite size pieces.  I enjoy zucchini, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and spinach and my kids love peas.
Instructions
In a large pot get your water to boiling for the whole wheat noodles.  Cook the noodles per instructions on package.  In a pot over medium heat combine diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, brown sugar and Italian seasoning, then stir.  While this is heating up start slicing your olives and preparing your vegetables.  How many and what kinds are up to you to decide as everyone enjoys something different.  Have fun with it!  Add the vegetables once the sauce starts to simmer.  Only leave over the heat for a few minutes once the vegetables are in just to warm them up.  The fresh taste and texture of the vegetables is important to the overall flavor.  Once the noodles are done strain and rinse under hot water.  Serve and enjoy!
