In this video I share what I eat in a day at 71 following a whole food plant based oil free lifestyle. From my favorite oatmeal bowl to colorful bowls, salads, and simple plant based meals, this way of eating helped me step off the diet roller coaster and finally feel at peace with food. My hope is that it inspires you to nourish your body, trust your intuition, and discover just how satisfying healthy plants can be.

RECIPES:
Deli Dill Pickle Dressing (McDougall Mom: https://www.instagram.com/mcdougallmom?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup soy milk (oat milk could be a good and lighter sub)
1/3 cup dill pickle juice
1/2 of a dill pickle
1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked in boiling water, drained, rinsed)
3/4 tsp onion salt or Kinders French onion seasoning or dried onion flakes
1/4 tsp freeze dried chives
1/4 tsp minced dried onion
Directions:
Add everything to a blender except for the dry chives and dried minced onion. Blend into mixed. Pour into a jar and add the dried chives and minced dried onion.
Ellen’s Notes:
To reduce the fat, I halve the amount of cashews and substitute white creamy beans (like cannellini beans) for the other half of the cashews.
Cheezy Chickpeas
Ingredients:
1 lb dried chickpeas, cooked
3 – 5 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 – 2 tbsp hot sauce (I like Cholulu chipotle flavor)
handful celery seeds
sprinklie of cayenne powder
1/2 – 1 c. aquafaba or veg stock
s+p to taste
Directions:
Put cooked chickpeas in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and gently combine.
