Anytime Roasted Potatoes

I love potatoes!

Potatoes in the morning, potatoes in the evening and potatoes at supper time! Anytime.

Potatoes have been given a bad wrap over the years but really they’re a very nutritious staple in a whole foods, plant based diet. Lucky me!

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Ranch Dressing!

Did you know today was National French Fry day?? I didn’t! Yeah, it’s totally a thing I was unaware of but the second I knew about it I needed some. I had some bean burgers on deck but we needed a dipping sauce…. Ah-ha! What goes better with french fries than ranch dressing? Needless to…
