Fat-free Oat Cheese Sauce

Oat-based vegan cheese sauce

Here is a delicious, healthy Mac and cheese recipe, particularly important for those following a diet geared for low fat heart health.  Besides no dairy, this Cheesy dish contains no poured oils and no seeds or nuts in this recipe!

Check your pantry for the following and you are ready to go:

Oat flakes (gluten-free, if needed), corn or tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, half a red pepper, salt pepper, a half a lemon (or apple cider vinegar will do) and some Mexican spices if you so wish. Also either onion powder or a half an onion (chopped), liquid smoke (optional, but I use a capful) and a blender.

Now go here to the recipe from Mrs. Plant in Texas and get all the measures of the ingredients used.

We have been enjoying this quick and easy sauce over pasta, broccoli and cooked other vegetables, and punched up with a little more heat, as a dip.  I know you will enjoy it too!

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
