Nana’s Vegan Pancake Mix (it’s good for us meat eaters too!) – 6 Weight Watchers Points Plus per 1/2 cup dry mix

We all know Nana is smart but sometimes she’s a genius.  This is one of those genius moments. Nana is also vegan, self determined for health issues so don’t go all no honey on me when I combo it later in another recipe with very non vegan ingredients.  It’s ok. […]

Nana’s Stir-Fry Cabbage & Tofu – 3 Weight Watchers Points Plus per serving (6 servings)

I could smell the smell that smelled yummy before I even got off the elevator onto the second floor of Nana’s apartment complex.  That door to her little abode was wafting something very promising out into the hallway and I wasn’t the only one who had noticed.  I seriously think […]

Nana’s Vegan Fruity Tart – 4 Weight Watchers Points Plus per serving

I honestly struggled with whether to post the dinner Nana made or the tarts first.  The stir-fry tofu was so yummy, but when I put the first bite of this delicious dessert in my mouth I had a knee jerk “stomp your foot reaction”.  So tarts it is. I have […]

Vegan Pesto – 2 Weight Watchers Smart Points (2PPV) per serving

(updated to the new Weight Watchers Smart Points program 03/26/16) Vegan Nana is a vegan (duh), a gardener, an avid reader and a recycler.  A recycler of things.  Lots of things.  Lots of odd things….one of her most favorite recycled items lately is a stray sprig of any kind of […]

Rainforest Kraut – 4 Weight Watchers Points Plus per serving (10 servings)

[amd-yrecipe-recipe:1]If you have followed me for more than a week you know of my Rainforest Slaw obsession.  Once I cracked that recipe I made it, and made it again, and made it for other people so I would have an excuse to have it again.  This week, my employee who […]

Pretty Jam Good Spicy Crockpot “Meat”balls – 6 Weight Watchers Smart Points (6PPV) per Serving

(Updated to the new Weight Watchers Smart points program 03/25/16) Yeah….my daughter named this one.  When I asked her what I should name this recipe she said “I know you’re gonna get mad at me but I’m willing to risk it.  Pretty Jam Good Spicy Meatballs”.  I fussed.  Then I […]

Vegan Nana’s Pot Pie Cupcakes – 6 Weight Watchers Smart Points (6PPV)

It’s official. Nana has joined the won ton cupcake bandwagon.  Except as usual Nana has thrown in something I’ve either never heard of, never used, or have no clue what to do with it.  May I introduce to you….Arrowroot Starch.  Ok if you already know what this is or how […]

Nana’s “Eggy” Broccoli Quiche – 8 Weight Watchers Points Plus Value per serving

Because I spend so much time talking about eggs, Vegan Nana takes every opportunity to make something without them just to prove she can.  This last weekend was a quiche to beat all quiche.  I’m not even sure I like quiche but I loved this.  For you meat-a-tarians as she […]

I think I can, I think I can….I know I can!

If this little 4′ 9″ powerhouse can turn her health around at 76 surely we can too.  Nana started her “mid-life” a little taller, a lot heavier and a chain smoker. Raising three kids on a 13 acre farm while her husband traveled 20+ days a month for business didn’t […]

Nana’s Summer Veggie Palooza

Nana is really loving this fresh veggie selection right now. Her little garden is booming with tiny versions of what we had tonight. I have a feeling here in a few weeks everything will boast fresh from Nana’s garden green beans, summer squash, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers. Tonight though […]
